Anyone need a $1000 Bally Astrocade?

[diskoboy]

$1000 buck will get you this one if you buy it now.

I thought I'd let you collectors take a gander and debate it's rarity and how much this guy wants for it. It's a white Montegomery Ward edition. It might be rare, since I've never seen a white astrocade... But $1000?? Come on.

OH... BTW FOLKS - It's not mine!! I was just browsing through Ebay, and I saw it.

I want an Astrocade somewhat, but not nearly bad enough to pay $1000 for it. BTW, he took down the BIN; it's just $100 with a currently-unmet reserve. Almost looks like an old TI-30 or TI-55 calculator was somehow hacked/modded to make the keyboard on the front of it...

Can someone here deduce what the reserve is based on the required insurance amount? The required insurance is $10.20

i just have the lid (looks like brand new) it is embossed with gold montgomery ward in it but just the lid and no white bally astrocade :(.

I remember wanting one of these when I was a kid. The white astrocade looked so cool. I wonder how much it will go for.
