At first I thought: Hasn't MJR already done a video on the Supercharger?
Anyways, I almost owned this thing. I bought a collection off eBay with all the games ever released for it (paid 300 USD shipped). But the seller didn't follow through and never sent it. Reported him and got a full refund. Still, kinda sucks as that was bargain.

This is so cool. I would love to get my hands on one of these. I want to play Communist Mutants from Space!

The 2600 is my favorite retro console, so having something that unique was a no-brainer for me. What I think happened was that the seller had cold feet about the price he sold them for. He originally wanted 400 USD, but I have a best offer for 300. He was kind of pissy after that. |

He put it up on eBay and accepted a legally binding offer. |

Still, kinda sucks as that was bargain. Balder you must be one rich bastard. How much do you spend on gaming per year? I know you have a huge Xbox collection, so I can't imagine how much money you've spent altogether on Atari games. By comparison, usually my typical yearly gaming budget is less than $300. But then again I don't really consider myself a collector. Really sucks that you got ripped off, though. This looks like such a cool (and obscure) little device. I'm surprised Mark hasn't reviewed it yet. He would probably love it. |

Even though I study at university, Norway gives out subsidiaries and cheap loans with no interests until I'm finished with my degree. Also, I've got a cheap rent at my apartment. Not rich, just lucky. |

Of course we can blame him. He put it up on eBay and accepted a legally binding offer. I ment to say maybe he didn't want to let it go go because the thing is too cool, and we can't blame him for liking it. Although the scenario of him not liking the offer is the most likely, and we can definitely blame him for that. |
