$7,600 Not being enough for this guy on Game Gavel, he's taken the Pluto to ebay for another go, possibly trying to pawn this off for a 5 figure sum.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sega-Pluto-/251 ... 3a80d01f0f

Currently sitting at $561 as of this post and the reserve, of course, has not been met.

Geez, I would've taken the $7k in a heartbeat.

This guy obviously has a price in mind if he's rejecting that kind of cash, why not just list it as a BIN somewhere instead of playing this "guess what number I'm thinking of" game?

I don't like this flipper.

I would pay $10 for it. Maybe $20 if Panzer Dragoon Saga was included.

He probably won't get as much publicity this round, and at the very least he should have put in a starting price, not some mystery reserve. He'll just waste time with people trying to lowball a magic lucky number that doesn't exist at this rate. The whole thing could seriously backfire on him.

Yup. This thing is a curiosity, nothing more. Should have taken the $7,000 and called it a day.

Now a real prototype Neptune, I feel like that is something that would go for a crazy price. This is a Saturn with a modem that nothing uses, which is far less interesting in my mind.

I'm just trying to imagine how much he thinks he should get for this if $7k isn't enough for him. $10k? $100k?
