I'm still waiting for you guys to use the Metric system.  Using a mix of Imperial/Metric is confusing generation after generation of Canadians.  I'm only now getting use to litres versus gallons.  :shock:

it's confusing you, I'm in science, get the measurement in standard, convert to SI, compute, convert back so people can get an idea of the area. Then convert back again.

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

But but b...but... it's a Babbages receipt! The nostalgia factor is off the charts. I miss game shopping at the mall.

Now that there's documentation Ebayers can refer to, we'll start seeing new Duo's listed at $100, new Soldier Blades at $10 and new Shockmans at $20!  I'm sure of it!

Probably worth bidding just to get the signature and the guy's address.  = Easy identity theft.

**EDIT**  Just put in my max bid of $0.01.
Awesome.  I would outbid you, but it means I would have to bid .06. :)

Yet another eBay auction where I'm unable to read the entire description without falling asleep.  What the hell has happened to the school system?

Just noticed both the one you posted and this one have something in common

Item Location: saint louis, MO, United States

Awesome 80's reference.  I would have totally done the robot too.

Man, I bid 1 cent as a joke.  Maybe it is time to do a receipt raffle.

I guess at least I get some ebay feedback for $2.01, if I am looking at the positive.

I know I can do better than $2.01.  I have a receipt still in a game box, whose box is already rare.



For California Games for Atari Lynx.  As the game was a pack in game with original Lynx, and was only available separately when Atari released the smaller Lynx II. As the game wasn't that great, not many boxed California Game sold.

So not only do I have a rare box for the game, I have an even rarer intact and readable receipt for the rare boxed game.

I'd be sad if I don't get at least $3 out of the receipt.
