Seller is:dkpins for both items.
I think from now on we should add the sellers name because if ebay is pulling the auction then you have a name that you might be able to contact.

These "test cartridges" are legit protos aren't they??? This guy sells a bunch of em, but never calls em protos.

-=Mr. NEStalgia=-

[TRM]

yeah legit protos. It doesn't help that Ebay now cancells auctions with the word "prototype" in them.

i have NEVER seen a vectrex test cart.. anyone know anything about this at all?
steep price, but super cool

[Tempest]

I dunno, all the Vectrex test carts I've seen have a simple "price tag" style sticker. It could be legit though.

[wberdan]

i emailed the owner of the test cart:

here is the response:

"I got this cart and two other test carts for the atari 400/800 about 3 years
ago from a friend. They originally came from local electronics store.

I won't be opening it up it is guaranteed not to be a repro or fake."


i assume the guarantee means he will take it back if unsatisfied....
damn i want this!
