    Default Air Raid on craigs list in my town i think...

    http://sarasota.craigslist.org/vgm/1687409227.html

    Is that Air Raid out front? The guy claims it is... Pretty wild, im guessing he saw the E-bay auction. I sure dont have that kind of money, I just lost my job.

    Indeed it is. It will be interesting to see how many of these come out of the woodwork now that the boxed one is sold

    For those of us who didn't get to see the ad before the author deleted it, what was it for and how much? Was it a random group of Atari games with Air Raid mixed in?

    Great, a 14th Air Raid shows up on Craigslist, and no one gets a chance to interview the owner for history's sake, or even get his name. That went too fast, dammit!

    So, did the cl poster delete the post and pitch it to eBay or was this a flip situation? Makes a difference if you want to talk to the original person that posted it to cl for the history of the cart. Wouldn't hurt to ask the eBay seller either way, I guess.

    Opened up previously huh? Maybe there's a cat inside! Who wants to buy it and look and see if it's alive or dead?

    It was the same picture thats now in the eBay auction.
    Because it makes no attempt to be great, it is therefore extremely great.

    And it's going to continue.

    I bet CIB, or at least CB copies will surface.

    It will be at this time that, if another boxed copy surfaces, we will know whether the copy Wonder007 purchased is real or an elaborate hoax.

    Imagine if a boxed one appears, SEALED, and it's totally different.

    Considering that the only known boxed one had a price tag affixed directly to the box, it might be assumed that this game was never sealed... Granted, the store might have been selling an 'open box' item, or any of many other possibilities, but I'd be very skeptical of a sealed one at this point...

    Something to think about...

    Many Atari games never came sealed new... The ones where the hang-tag is built in to the box. You could return games you didn't like back then too... Opened/non-sealed/broken-hymen games didn't matter then like it does now.
