Subject: Collector's Corner..Misleading Robotic Auction

Author: Steve B

Date: 13:00:59 01/03/05


what we have here is a run of the mill Milton Bradley Grandmaster
not at all rare
no dust cover(or Lid as Professor Watters insists on calling it)
no original box

it is already a tad high at $350 with just under 3 days to go
perhaps what is throwing the bidders into a frenzy is the seller calling it a:
MB Grandmaster Phantom Fidelity

3 different Robots all fused into one computer!

now THAT would be something to bid high on

or perhaps this statement which appears in the auction description
" This is the Milton Bradley version of the Fidelity Phantom Chess machine."

i dont think so..
the Fidelity Phantom came out more then  8 years AFTER the MB GM

its quite possible with so much wrong information in one auction that the
bidders are besides themselves with confusion and simply decide to bid and be
done with the whole confusing mess:
