BigO Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I never knew the whole story behind this. Did Answer actually make some cartridges and later some PROMs came up surplus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homerwannabee Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...bayphotohosting $152.51 to be exact You do know that the game with a real cart and real label would fetch 10 times as much as that. But, yes it did go for more than CPUWIZ's $80-$120 estimate. It was more in line with Ninermaniacs estimate of $150-$175. But I do remember correctly that you would not sell yours for $200 or even $300. So I guess there is an amount of sentimental value when it comes to this cart.

This isnt nor ever was directed at CPUwiz. His value is his value. I said between $150-200 and I think it will only go UP. Just my OPINION. Im glad to see with only 2 bidders, it hit my low but my cart is never for sale. I want it even if I have a 100% real one. Theres only 2 with this label and yes it is sentimental to me. I will never sell it. It will go to my daughter and she is into atari as well and has a 7800 system. I never said EVER that it was worth close to the 10x's 100% real one you suggest. But it certainly isnt worth $20 either. infact im still clueless how anyone would think I meant that at all that it was close to the 1000$ one since ive made that clear many times. Im still not selling my copy for anything so take it for what its worth. Its not for sale. more like 7x's by my calculations at best but hey, whos counting?

Phantom Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 And yep this is the same Prom I had BEFORE I bought the one that just sold from the guy that had a bunch of them. I made sure Sr put my original one in my cart and I played this for years on my Prom Cart. So yes, sentimental is a good word.

Hey Homer, Atlantis 2 is a hack and not worth more than $50 bucks. On top of that all your rares are decreasing in value as you read this and your collection is not gonna finance your retirement as you expected. Oops.

Trust me I will be able to retire off this stuff. It just maybe when I am 90 instead of 50. By the way great job on the Gauntlet carts.

Phantom Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 (edited) Cool maybe I can get one for my Prom Cart again! I break it out when Im feeling nostalgic. The real question is How much IS Quadrun going to be worth in a year From now? Only reason I gave up my 2nd Prom Gauntlet was because I needed to help fund making the Malagais into carts. If I had to do that over I'd have 2 or 3 made for myself, sold the other Proms Malagais as Proms and kept my Gauntlet Prom that sold in Niners cart which he then bought from Sr. Cheers Edited January 5, 2008 by Phantom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headfamily Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I am actually the second bidder for the Gauntlet. I just wanted it because it would be a whole lot easier and cheaper getting it this way, then waiting for a 100% original. I'm going to try to get the prom chip now so I can make my own. I bought a copy of Magalai from Phantom and whole heartedly don't regret it a bit and will probably never look for a 100% original copy of the game.

CPUWIZ Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 No, it's not worth $150+, it was a pissing match between 2 bidders, sskatari always overpays for shit and headfamily bumped it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you say that this was the result of two bidders than only one of these bidders still needs this. Hence the use of But It Now. To satisfy the needs of that one bidder. If you are correct and you run a regular auction than the price would be a lot lower since there supposedly only one hard core bidder for this. Hopefully that makes more sense.

+remowilliams Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Don't you have something better to do than being overly critical of people? I've got nothing against you except the insane peddling of AII that doesn't seem to cease. That tends to get annoying after the first 100 or so times. If you think that pointing out the most ridiculous 'retirement plan' since burying cash in the backyard is overly critical, so be it.

If you think that pointing out the most ridiculous 'retirement plan' since burying cash in the backyard is overly critical, so be it. How was I peddling it. I didn't even bring it up. I was making a joke about it in response to Shawn Sr. I guess I have to explain my jokes now. When I said retire at 90. It is in reference to the fact that 90 year olds have a very, very, very short life Expectancy. I think it is less than 2 years on average. I probably should of upped the age to something like 115 so everyone could understand it was joke. To tell you the truth the November incident was not a pleasant experience and I really don't want to relive that. Again I did not bring this up. I did not even argue with Shawn Sr. In good fun I made a joke at my own expense and somehow I am the bad guy. Explain that one to me. Edit: Crazy like a fox is an old American experession.
