WTB F1 Challenge at a reasonable price

Somehow I missed out on F1 Challege 99-02 at the close out price when it was available. Now all I can find are the ridiculous prices ($50+) on ebay. If anybody can still get a copy at $19 or less and is willing to pick it up for me, I will gladly pay that plus reasonable shipping. Or if you can point me to an online source in that range, I will do it myself. I will try to return the favor, if you are looking for some similiarly "rare" software. Please post here, cause this email addy is a fake one. Thanks, Ted

FYI - they're now out of stock. So if anybody else finds a source, please pass it on! Thanks, Ted

Yeah, but they wont stay under $20! Action closing in about 20 min. is getting $75 for a copy! Maybe I should have invested in a few when they were closed out at Best Buy for $9! Hindsight... Ted

You should just order it anyway and choose the option to not wait for a backorder (you'll see what I mean when you place your order). I placed an order over the weekend and it has shipped. Haven't gotten it yet, though, 'cuz I went for the el cheapo shipping which must be US mail. I think gohastings must be working with a distributor that still has stock.

Mine just came by UPS yesterday(strange that Standard Shipping is UPS but UPS Ground is extra). The site no longer says out of stock. [email hidden] (Ted D.) wrote in message news:<[email hidden]>...

Tried to order some more for friends last week and just got the cancellation notice. Maybe they're really gone now. [email hidden] (B.

I sent a message to EA Sports support line asking them if and/or when will F1 Challenge 99-02 for the PC be available again. We know it's now out of production and not many unsold copies exist, yet they're still "advertising" it on the EA Sports web site, including a "Buy Now" link to their online store. Click it and you get a "product unavailable" response.(???) Didn't get any response from EA about my email inquiry, either. My guess (?) is that F1C will re-appear sometime in "shovelware" form, just as F1 2001 and F1 2002 have done (def. - shovelware: a CD-ROM in jewel case with no box , a PDF copy of the manual on the CD-ROM, and selling for about $9.99 at Wal-Mart, etc.) At least we HOPE it will, right?
