WTF!? $50 for a plastic bag

[Medic_wheat]

This is just plain crazy.  The bag could be from anything; it's not like it's special or custom besides the size.

I analyzed the photo and it is consistent with the materials used at the time the item was available in retail stores.

Furthermore, the patina is appropriate for a bag of this vintage. Patina is dust, dirt and grime that adds character to an item (and should never be cleaned away or otherwise molested).

All that is missing is some certified compressed air (of a matching vintage) to spray into the bag.

I am glad we have such experts in these forums. I certinaly hope they reffered to you at the ET dig site to verify the soil layers age in relation to the patina of the atari cases found.

When you can ease send a signed et atari game from said dig sight as a raffles prize for forum members

The real question, would any of us pay $50 for a condom?

I'd like to think at least one of us would shell that out  :-"

I have to pay 50 for mine. Special order size :-)

On the one hand, I like it when idiots spend money. It stimulates the economy and that's better for us all. On the other hand, it does drive the hell out of other retro stuff. "Whoa! This bag sold for $50! Surely this Super NES game I own is worth $5000! I never knew Pilotwings would net me so much money! Glad I didn't throw it away like that Magic Choose game."

This is AWESOME!  I pray that it's shipping to the USA and that US Customs opens this one.  I can just see everyone in the room shaking their heads and calling their buddy over "Hey!  Hey!  You guys gotta see this bullshit!"
