holygrailvideogames.com Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 What 2600 game uses the light gun ?? I thought that Shawn Sr. and CPUWIZ sold a reproduction of an unreleased 2600 title that used the light gun. I can't remember the name of the title.

Sentinel is the other one that uses it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pant Load Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 What do you think McGrail's most overpriced game is? So many to choose from, but I think I'd have to pick: $25 for the loose '87 Galaxian, followed closely by $50 for the Panda Sea Hawk with the label ripped off, then the $120 Cosmic Swarm he got for $20 with the box all scuffed up even though you can't really tell that from his listing photo.

I do agree his stuff is extremely overpriced, but I do have to admit he is getting some crazy prices for these games. At the moment there are two collectors who are spending a huge amount on games they don't have. So much so that they are doubling and tripling price records. It seems that most of his business from Atari 2600 seems to be coming from these two customers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Shooting Arcade. Sentinel is the other one that uses it. Yep, those are the two, Sentinel was released and Shooting Arcade was not. The homebrew Bobby Is Hungry also uses the gun. It's kinda like duck hunt for the 2600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hands down if your looking for the most overpriced (and slap in the face to the cause) it's gotta be the give away 5200 Xmas cart from the Secret Santa for Chicky & Z28 that is listed at $99.99. That made me puke in my mouth for real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Beard Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 (edited) To those of you who think McGrail's posted prices are too high (and I generally agree): Ever tried making him an offer? 'Cuz I have and I've found him to be generally quite a reasonable fellow. Go look at his completed listings and you'll see that he often accepts offers that are considerably less than his listed prices. And although his prices are high, he's a great seller -- packs well, good communication, quick shipping, etc. I'd rather pay him a little extra than get a bargain from a slimeball and end up with a big hassle and/or no goods. Just my two cents. Edited July 23, 2008 by Captain Beard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Charlie Cat Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Hi guys: I also feel that McGrail is a fantastic seller. He offers great products at a great price. To criticize him without making a offer (which he generally does take into consideration 100% of the time) is simply mind-boggling to me. I never had a problem with McGrail when he sold me a large lot of Atari systems. He even delayed the shipping until I was ready to make room for them. Great offer price for the systems Anthony.... P.S.: But that's just how a feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonner242 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I too made him a offer and he dropped a good amount for me......to bad I never saw the counteroffer till it was too late... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He even delayed the shipping until I was ready to make room for them. Oh dont get me wrong I deal with HolyGrail and have so for years. Doesn't mean we have to agree on everything. I mean I doubt he agree's with me on everything either. If we all agreed on everything it would be a pretty bland world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickHarrisMaine Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 and once again, another innocuous thread falls to the "he's a dirty reseller"/"hey, he's just trying to make a living" argument...... I've bought from and sold to McGrail on several occasions, and he's a-ok with me. If the guy can make a decent living selling video games, he's living the dream in my book. Now if you'll all excuse me, I need to get to bed so I can deal with my corporate malaise tomorrow..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only real crazy shit is the homebrews that are priced daily to people "in the know" for $30 being resold for $100+ to folks that obviously just don't know better.

holygrailvideogames.com Posted July 24, 2008 Author Share Posted July 24, 2008 (edited) Thank you for all of you with kind words. Pant Load just has his panties in a bunch because I out worked him on a boxed lot. For those of you who have not taken a look a my store I have a number of games priced at under $10. For the most part at the time of listing I have tried to have the lowest listed price for the same items listed in other stores.

For the most part at the time of listing I have tried to have the lowest listed price for the same items listed in other stores. Actually, I think I've been pretty consistently against resellers lurking in a collectors forum, and especially against you and your "Check out my listings!" spam every week for the past 4+ years. Has nothing to do with that boxed lot you snaked from me and sold at an exponential profit to a lot of AtariAge members here. I think I still do have that email from you where you talk about how you're "more educated than 99% of Atari collectors." though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it's more like Guitar Scalpers lurking in Hype Exchanges looking for bands selling there equipment dirt cheap cause they need cash to get on the road to gigs and the band ends up using Peavy cause they sell the Fender's to get to the show. Then his Fender is for sale for triple the price the next day after he gets back from the gig. Edited July 25, 2008 by Shawn Sr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
