I initiated an email discussion with the seller of the CC1 currently on Ebay. As I surmized, the seller did not realize the worth of the CC1 model when she put it up for auction. (She does now however :>)). Some of you might find this interesting. Before posting her e-mail below, I did obtained her permission . ======================================================= "Hi Michael ~ I noticed in the instructions ( service agreement ) .. that the company did offer a upgrade ... after June 1st 1977 ~ this game was purchased as a Christmas present in 1977 ..... for the original owner .... who I got the game from when he passed on ... ( thru an estate sale ... we bought out what was "left over " after the Sale .... over 2 years ago .. and this was one of the items we kept) I thought it was worth holding on to ... but figured I'd only get $25 - 50 for it ..... SURPRISE ! We've been doin' Ebay for about 7 years .... and about 2 or 3 times a year we throw something up that ends up with bids that totaly blow us away ! ..... we have sold 3 - old ceramic Pie Vents ........ that went for over $900.00 10 Darthmouth College Plates ........that went for over $150.00 each ( 1 went for $350.00 ) 1 sharks Jaw ....that we couldn't get $20.00 for in a garage sale that went for over $800.00 and a Pair of Old Exit Signs from a movie theater .... that went for $725.00 ..... None of which we paid over $10.00 for any of the items ....... GO FIGURE ? Guess everyone gets "LUCKY" sooner or later ~ I'm facinated that there is so much interest in this game ...... Good Luck in your bidding ~& thanks for the info & emails Sincerely Sharon A Murray "SAM" of Sam Fresnos Emporium "
