Phantom Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 (edited) As-is at this price for these loose, takes the cake! Atari Game Lot I just cant resist finding these idiotic listings when I am bored. "I BOUGHT THESE YEARS AGO & DON'T PLAY THE GAMES SO I AM NOT POSITIVE THAT THEY WORK. I ASSUME THEY DO BUT NOT SURE! BUY IN AS IN CONDITION. THE EXTERIOR OF THE CARTRIDGES LOOK FINE I AM JUST NOT SURE HOW THESE THINGS WORK. I DO NOT HAVE THE BOXES & INSTRUCTIONS" Why did you buy them if you don't play the games? Exterior looks great though! They do , they really really do Edited July 25, 2008 by Phantom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickeycolumbus Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 The exterior is actually very nice, I was expecting torn off labels. Definately worth the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mianrtcv Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 (edited) Maybe he had the carts graded... Then $125. is actually a bargain. Edited July 26, 2008 by mianrtcv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninermaniac Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Just remember HONESTYISTHEPOLICY It's a steal. His name says it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 (edited) Maybe he had the carst graded... Then $125. is actually a bargain. You Mean Graded Like This? What the hell is this exactly and whos grading these now? It looks like a legit grading like comic books would have but the prices are unreal! I checked his completed listings and he sold like one game, for a grand though, and it was an NES graded game. I have no clue if the game was rare but by his Prices, I would think someone got hosed! Wouldnt you lose mega bucks by listing that many high priced items only to sell one? I Think I am going to have this dude grade my games for insurance purposes.

AFA who grades toys has expanded and created a company called VGA Video Game Authority. VGA only grades video games. At the moment VGA is more popular for the NES where sealed collectors can pay outrageous prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+poobah Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 so, I felt a little bad for the guy. I dropped him a note that there was no way he was going to get $125 for his carts, that they were worth maybe five bucks total. Messaged me back that he had no clue about them, and that he paid $50 for them "a while back". I see he did drop the price to $49.95 =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess there are those who also give them away but I think most without a clue see a Quadrun sell for $300 and say to themsleves "hey, next time Im at a yard sale, Im gonna grab me some of those Atari Tapes They are antiques now, if this Quadrun sold this well, Imagine What a popular Game like Pac-man would bring in! Only if I can find one now" Edited July 26, 2008 by Phantom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, for insurance purposes I can support that. For the planet Earth's player/collectors purposes WTF?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
