Hi all. This is Chuck with the Portland Retro Gaming Expo. The original owner of the cart who now has possession of it again reached out to us through our web site today. I spent some time on the phone with the gentleman trying to get some provenance on the cart.
He walked me through the whole story of how he sold it on CL and got it back after he found out what it might be. I tend to have a sensitive BS detector, but the guy seemed fairly genuine in his story. He certainly wants to sell the game and maximize his return, but I don't think there is anything nefarious going on other than what he said: he is on some tough financial times and needs the money.
I highlighted the key parts.
So his keeping it for his son story is BS.
He found out what it was after he sold it. (next time do you homework)
I hope Mrdouin gets smiled upon my the video game finder gods, for his generocity.
I am in the camp that would not have given it back. Do your homework buddy.
