Is this person a DP'er ? Not my auctions (wish they were !) and no way related but has some really good items and this one:

Holographic handheld !!
If you are, speak up !
How you get so many good items and why you selling them ?
Does the holograph actually move around in a fluid motion ?!

oddly enough , his Q&A proves he's listed this several times...I didnt know a new auction could include Q's from old auctions...
T (wasn't it like $20,000 USD last time around?)
Edit: Didnt he mention last time this is just a shell, IE no guts inside? How many of these can I recall...

Yeah, this auction has been listed before. The guy is trying to get way too much money for just a shell.
According to several websites, only three working Cosmos units are known. Curt's Atari Mesuem has one of them, along with all of the games.
An unknown number of 'mock up shells' of the Cosmos also exist -- probaly a small number, like 6-8. They are cool from a collector's standpoint but since you can't DO anything with them, they are kinda worthless.
The most I could see anyone paying for this is $500-1000.

Ye.. been listed some times. Wasnt it listed with £9,999 once? lol.
You have to be crazy to pay that much for some paper and plastic. Yes I know, rarity, but still, its useless. No electronic inside :(

Any idea the game play is on for a working one ? With holograms, it must be .. rainbowy ?
Off to google for a site to look at !
