Electric T V Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 (edited) WHAT THE HELL?!?! I don't remember when and where I got this.. I know it was sometime after the golden age...In the late nineties probably. The price tag makes me think it was a St Vincent De Paul's Store. What does this usually go for? I've hardly played this game. Don't remember it at all. Maybe I'll go check it out if I can find the time.

+Psionic Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share Posted March 15, 2008 What does this usually go for? Red label Gravitar is dirt common and goes for $5-$10 boxed at most. Silver label Gravitar (original Atari Club release) is another story... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucebidder Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Oh here we go I found this and I found that, whats it worth huh, a whole lot, maybe I'll sell it whats anyone offering. These things drive me crazy just because you found something in your basement doesn't mean its worth a billion dollars. Quick litmus test search ebay if 500 show up its not unique. ugh...

You talked to a guy that was from Mythicon thats awesome who was it. Well if you make over the top claims that are not true you should expect to hear flak for it. But I think the price speaks for itself as for how over the top this auction is. I mean this thread was started to make fun of your choice of price point and over the top font sizing, pictures and claims. So good luck to you..

Electric T V Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 How old are you, BruceBidder....? Just sometime I feel like I'm surrounded by people who never played Atari before all that other stuff came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brucebidder Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 How old are you, BruceBidder....? Just sometime I feel like I'm surrounded by people who never played Atari before all that other stuff came out. Well you could check my stats but I'm 28 years old my first system was a 2600 when I was 5 and I still have it along with my games. I've been extensively collecting for 15 years I have over 1200 unique label variations and over 500 boxed games in prestine condition, not to forget my manual collection which is in the 800's. I'm still not sure what most of your comments mean they seem convoluted. You think most of the people here never played atari before what came out. Most of the people on here are late 20's or older and have some of the most amazing collections you could imagine. Also they all know alot about the collecting field. So what are you saying or asking? Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electric T V Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Ha ha ha Me Too. I like the black bar with the googly aliens. Does your "shaking can" screen say MOUNTAIN DEW? I heard there were some with a beer name on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what are you saying or asking? Bruce i'm not trying to say I'm better than that or anything... but when I STOPPED collecting these games I had over 180 complete games (minus some boxes for some reason I didn't save) and that was over 15 years ago. I am now 35. I never got a Nintendo I just loved playing Solaris, Desert Falcon, Ballblazer (best two player game I ever played, hardest I ever laughed in a 2 player game) Jr Pac Man, Midnight Magic and Xevious. While my friend down the street was playing Zelda I was still playing Donkey Kong and Solar Fox and loving it. I don't collect label variations, sorry your thinking seems convoluted to me. But if you say they're collector's items, I suppose they are, and in 20 years if Antiques Roadshow is still on the road and if it ever comes to Detroit I think I'll be proud to say I have this collection that all came from one pretty rabid collector during the era. Do you see what I mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Psionic Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 Does your "shaking can" screen say MOUNTAIN DEW? I heard there were some with a beer name on them. Only the original arcade version had beer. All of the home versions have Mountain Dew, except the ColecoVision (which has root beer).

Do you see what I mean? I still can't quite get what your saying again. My thinking is convoluted to you for what reason? What are collector's item? See I don't get what you are trying to say. First things first based on your lists I assume you had a 7800 since some of those games are specifically 7800 games(Ballblazer and Xevious). The 7800 came out after the NES that your neighbors were playing. What am I saying are collector's items? Atari stuff is collectible, but not every piece is a rare item. For as many rare items out there there are 25 common items you could pick up at any flea market on any given Sunday. I still have my original games, instructions and boxes along with a real nice collection I've put together since then, so I guess other people kept the boxes too. Since you are attempting to sell off your stuff I don't see how you would be showing them at an antique show in 20 years. Although it would be nice to show a large collection of games all owned by one person. As for anyone saying their better than one another, you said that not anyone else. SO I guess you were trying to imply you are better than someone, I suppose me. To each his own I guess. Anyway good luck with your auctions.

Wickeycolumbus Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Wow, it took over 45 minutes to load your auction. That really makes me want to bid on your over priced cardboard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
