F1 Challenge 99-02 on eBay

Heads up! For those still looking for a retail copy: Fellow on eBay is selling them at a reasonable starting price ($12.99 US). Shipping is $7.50ea. (Do a search on "F1 C" on eBay to see the list.) He says these are versions made for China (Hong Kong) but they come with English menus and instructions as well. I have no experience with this fellow, but I know there is still some demand out there and thought I would pass it along.

I just saw it on bhmotorsports.com for $17.99 I think. It was in the sidebar, but I'm sure its on their shop. Which I think is just an amazon referrer thing.. -- Mike Beauchamp http://www.therevox.com - custom electro-theremins and stuff. http://www.mikebeauchamp.com - mike's personal site.

Wow, the local Software, etc. here had three copies last week. I should go get them and make a few $ <g>

I say if you attempted that much to find a game in a store, but couldn't find it.. then you should feel free to download it :) -- Mike Beauchamp http://www.therevox.com - custom electro-theremins and stuff. http://www.mikebeauchamp.com - mike's personal site.

Some folks are willing to pay to get the retail fluff, box, manual, etc. Especially when it's reasonably price (i.e. costs no more than it originally did in the stores when it was released). Plus, they feel better knowing it's a legal copy.

This is the first retail outlet that has listed it as in stock in the U.S. in months (and I've been looking everywhere). Don't know if the store is legit or if they really have copies, but I went ahead and placed an order......I'll keep my fingers crossed. itazura

Link is appreciated been looking for eons to find a place that had it in stock. Hope they are legit! Braddo wrote:

Well I ordered last Sunday night - I received half my order last night no F1CC - I called today they said backordered and discontinued. So no dice - site still says in stock though - back to the hunt I guess "Mike Beauchamp" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

You might give Electronics Boutique a call. My local EB Games (Gilroy Ca) had 3 copies as of last week.

I think F1C was sold out at the local EB and Software Etc. last Dec. I looked there one day and they had two copies, then the next day they were gone. Somebody said Best Buy had it at one time, but I never saw it at the local one, here, although I don't shop there much. The local CompUSA had a few copies and they've been long gone, since last year some time. However, I did get my copy of NR2003 at the local CompUSA, which included the bonus Jimmie Johnson car, for only $9.99. :)

Just thought I would report that this offer appears to be legit. I ordered a copy from him and paid via Paypal. Got the CD in less than a week. It's an authentic EA game disc,not a bootleg copy. Has the US English version of the game on the disc and comes with an authentic CD key. I installed F1C and ran it without a hitch. No box or manual is included, though, to reduce his shipping costs. Otherwise, you can't beat the price, unless you're lucky enough to find a copy left in a store somewhere.
