Sorry if this is a double post but WTF.
http://cgi.ebay.com/E-T-THE-EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL-ATARI-2600_W0QQitemZ8210211373QQcategoryZ4315QQrdZ1QQcmd ZViewItem
The sellers item description is pricless. I saw this and almost lost bodily functions. :eek 2: Seriously. WTF. I sincerely hope nobody has the money to burn to grab this E.T. collectible "while the time is right". YIKES!
If anyone does purchase this item as I'm sure I have numerous "Holy Grails" you may be intersted in purchasing... sucker, I mean friend. Really. If you like intlellivision... please let me sell you my rare cartridge only poker & blackjack, no? Atari 2600 Combat? No? Colecovision Donkey Kong Cartridge only? How's about maybe another common, I mean "RARE" title. Can I go on?

The best line:
"I PAYED A PRETTY PENNY FOR THIS ONE, SO I HOPE THAT SOMEONE ENJOYS IT AS MUCH AS I DID."
Reminds me of the South park episode where Cartman is tricked into buying another kid's pubes, because the kid tells him that's the only way you can get them...

Greatest.... episode... ever. Seriously, he makes the kid eat his parents in chili for screwing him over. Priceless.

"ONLY A FEW WERE MADE AND MOST WERE BURIED"
"EVEN THOUGH THEY SOLD A TON OF THE GAMES."
He contradicts himself right there! How can you sell a ton of something if only a few were made? LOL

Just sent this message to the seller of this $100 dollar ET:
Are you on drugs? This game is only worth about 50 cents. I am dead serious about this price. I could sell you 100 copies of this game Brand New still factory sealed if you think this is so rare and worth so much. You would make a killing in profit as far as you seem to think.
Maybe I get to sell him some ET's and rid the Atari scene of some shit games.

160,000 buried was not enough. Heck they produced more E.T. carts than Atari had sold consoles. Sadly, I still have my original copy. Sadder yet, as a 5-year old, I thought it was kind of fun, although I never understood what the purpose was.

20 hours left. Get ready. You know you need this. At the price, what a bargain.
