Airball Prototype

[AcePuppy]

Just noticed this on eBay via Gamesniped.com. An Airball Proto for sale for the low Buy it now price of $1,200. So I guess that makes the grand total available that are known now to 3-4?

With the number of knockoffs, god luck selling that thing. It looks mighty fishy and a 3 feedback seller always makes for a great sale!

It could be an original, but Retrozone just released a fully boxed reproduction of Airball, and you might want to see the board inside this before buying it.

Ya I have the reproduction, which does not have the glass inside which the seller says the inside has (I've never seen the inside of the Airball promo so I can't determine if one has it or not), however I've emailed the seller asking for them to open the cart and post pictures of the inside or at least send me 1.

Why the hell is he asking for $21 to ship the thing? o_O

$7 to ship, $7 for insurance and about another $7 in insertion fees.

"Insertion fee". I thought that was only legal in Reno...

Sorry about the GAC.. relized this after the fact.

Still haven't heard from the seller after contacting them. I'm pretty sure this is a fake auction. BE WARNED. I asked the seller the question before he changed his buy it now price from $1200 to $955. So he could have at least answered me.

The seller has hardly any feedback, no return policy, and encourages side deals:

THIS GAME IS 17 YEARS OLD SO IT WILL BE SOLD AS IS, NO RETURNS, NO WARRANTY, ETC. ANY BEST OFFERS SEND THEM TO internetgod666@rock.com

I wouldn't go anywhere near the thing without seeing a pic of the board inside.

[DreamTR]

It's a fake sticker on a repro cart. Font is all wrong and the sticker is way too new. Plus no pics of the inside? Gee.

I guess the seller wasn't that reliable. Jaredkk posted this at NintendoAge.

Seems like a future client for Dr. Phil. "So Jared, you say die to all them folk. What's that about? Let's share....". :P

[slapdash]

You should send back a reply that just corrects every error in his note, plus "have a nice day!".

[adaml]

That rant was classic. I wonder if he is LEARKING on these boards?
