aargh ... wtf is atari amiga ? didn't all those boxes and labels give him a clue ?

[bobamu]

I'm surprised it's not listed as W@W ATARI AMIGA NINTENDO DREAMCAST ZX SPECTRUM RARE L@@K..

Don't see anything even remotely rare there.

oh and he has a shop entitled "GASSA`S CLASSIC RETRO GAMING" I'm sure he's completely aware that it isn't an atari and it's just dodgy titling to make it appear on more searches.

Didn't ebay make some notice about that sort of thing recently? Though I doubt ebay ultimately care about anything other than their fees.

That machine was probably last used 17 years ago... The guy probably only remembers one machine... Unless you were a real geek, the machines were really similar... Though AMOS suggests this guy should know better... I think he is just trying to appeal to a large audience.

A Zipstick, a Cruiser and a Cheetah 125+!!! Haha, its sad that I can remember those joysticks so well after all these years.

The cruiser had a twisty thing at the base of the stick to control how firm it was.  I was never strong enough to turn it tho!

Eurgh, there is even a picture of the big Commodore sticker on the bottom of the computer! What an idiot.

That would be Atari spelt with a capital C that looks like a chicken mouth.

This person is not necessarily an idiot. It could also be to expand the number of search hits. Amiga will get so many hits; Atari brings in so many extra. Then hopefully some computer enthusiast comes along looking for Atari, realises that this is not it, but thinks "hey, thet's some pretty nice stuff, and a good deal."

I don't approve of such behaviour, but it does work. Of course, adding Commodore would have expanded things even further, but what the heck would a Commodore Atari be?
