Quoted from ejg10532626:

.
* EK's are not worth $3,000 unless all CPR parts, upgraded displays and a perfect cabinet.

...or if they are the home version

Quoted from Mbecker:

I appreciate the honesty on the ad.

"Sorry just sold it today for asking price. I forgot to take the ad down." You think this is honestly what happened? I highly doubt there is anything honest about this seller.

The problems with ads like this:

1. He probably won't get an offer anywhere near his asking price, which means a classic game that a hobbyist could love/improve or restore will sit in limbo, in this guys shed or whatever, like an unwanted foster child.
2. Even if he doesn't get near this asking price, just the fact that this price is advertised influences folks that are not collectors to think they should price theirs off the charts. This also undermines the low end hobbyists ability to get the game. It's happened to me time and again. one example is a Bally Star Trek, overall a fair condition example with a bit of road wear where the fair price could have been between $800 and $1200, and because the seller sees all these high prices thinks its worth $2000. I watched that ad pop up for months and I just shake my head.

Sure the ad sounds ridiculous and funny, but it's also sad. Sorry little Evel, I don't think anyone is adopting you very soon - You're staying imprisoned in someones storage shed.
