Lemmi Posted August 30, 2002 Share Posted August 30, 2002 Ok i would love to win this auction BUT What the FU*K is this an average price for an 20 years old Boxed Alien game? or are them DAMN Alien movie collectors ruining this game for others who actually own a 2600? Or is this game Boxed really that rare? I am kind of new to looking at 2600 items on ebay so any insite would be helpful and maybe it will help me calm down alittle http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=1376277306 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Monkey Posted August 30, 2002 Share Posted August 30, 2002 Looking at the bidder list, I would say it looks like Atari collectors are bidding that piece up... I honestly haven't seen many boxed Alien carts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemmi Posted August 30, 2002 Author Share Posted August 30, 2002 Yeah i just got done looking at the auctions won by all the bidders and it seems like i am the odd man out when it comes to bidding on and winning 2600 games So i guess its just rare to find a boxed Alien game that looks that good my last bid was $50 and still isnt enough, but atleast i have the game and manual already, i would really love a box to go with it, but $50 for a box is alittle much i guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munkyxtc Posted August 30, 2002 Share Posted August 30, 2002 Actually, the price of a boxed alien game on eBay has overall been affected by alien (movie) collectors, this game, may be bid up by actual atari fans, but I've seen quite a few in the past that have been by people just looking for the "alien" title. So why this is pretty much the current going price it has been affected due to people other than collectors bidding on other copies... I mean, hell, look what happened to spiderman!!! from $5, to $50 OVERNIGHT! Lemmi, I'm sure if you give it time, the demand for the game will die off a bit, and I'm sure you'll be able to pick up a copies (boxed no less) for considerably less... I would say it's a trend, I've seen it before and have no reason to believe it's any different this time around. Just remember, that this is merely my opinion, and therefore I cannot guarantee it.

FND Posted August 31, 2002 Share Posted August 31, 2002 I also noticed the game cartridge has had either some photo editing or someone has blacked out something with a black magic marker. Drew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew I noticed that too, it kinda looks like black tape of some kind to me but all i wanted was the box, as i have the game and the manual (both spotless) i just really wanted a box to complete it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
