I would give $150 for the box and Instructions myself. The cart being in the pic drove up that price IMO and the seller just got a headache of a sale to deal with. Thats my take on it. And I think you shouldnt have the cart in the pic if it isnt for sale. But thats just me I guess. $15 to ship a Box is a good one too! Surprised that this wasnt pulled by Ebay for that reason.

ianoid Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I don't think that this price was too much for the box only. The cart is tough to find, the box really really tough. If I didn't have one, I probably would have paid that much for the box/inst without feeling horrible about it. Of course, it's always better to have paid less. ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I didn't have one, I probably would have paid that much for the box/inst without feeling horrible about it. Of course, it's always better to have paid less. ian I think the box & instructions are more common than the cart. Remember the same set were used for the C64 too, only with added stickers. I believe someone sold around a dozen or so new BBSB! boxes & docs a few years back at CGE for $100 a pop. I've seen the NIB C64 versions on ebay before too, with this oversized 5200 box hiding under the stickers & shrinkwrap. It's easy enough to fix. Finding the 5200 cart is the tough part. I do think having the cart in the pictures bumped the bids up, and hope the winning bidder read fully. I would question whether that was even the same box being auctioned or f those pictures were from somewhere else. Why would you leave the cart in the shots?

Zwackery Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I expected this to hit around $300. This is a really rare set of box and instructions.

I have sold 3 over the last 3 years. 2005 loose for $500 2007 boxed for $525 2008 loose for $500 From what I hear an authorized reproduction of Bounty Bob might be sold soon. If this is true I expect the price of Bounty Bob to come down though it will still hold value for those collectors who are only satisfied with the original and who can afford it.

If this is true I expect the price of Bounty Bob to come down though it will still hold value for those collectors who are only satisfied with the original and who can afford it. It should be interesting what will happen if this come's out. There has never been an official reproduction of a super rare commercially released game that stopped selling over 25 years ago. There are some questions that come to mind. 1. Will it say that it's a reproduction? 2. If not will they attempt an exact reproduction? 3. If they attempt an exact reproduction how easy will it be able to tell the difference between the two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
video game addict Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 CIB = $600 BIN - 12/16/2007 I sold one on this date for best offer of $450 BIN may of been $600 but the sell price was $450 If you search completed auctions you will see the listing price of the BIN on auctions that have sold, but if you click them and read the details it should give you the actual sell price which is often less.

Carey85 Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I remember this was the same seller that sold a loose River Patrol a few months back that caught a mint. Shipping on it was outrageous as well, and the auction listing included a picture of dumb blonde. I guess she figures she has a free pass to rape collectors on shipping prices to recoup her ebay fees... whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just pulled initial listings for the list I produced. Unless I am tracking a particular auction, I don't tend to note final hammer prices. Given that this auction is almost 2 years old, looking at completed auctions through eBay is impossible because the listing has been removed (that's what eBay says, I wonder if there computer records are actually backed up for much longer). I'm curious, is there a third-party service that keeps this information? I agree with the price of $450 to $500 CIB I generally agree with you that this is a +/- $450 title CIB.

I'm curious, is there a third-party service that keeps this information? I usually snipe with either bidnip or esnipe & both are trackable going back years. I do like that just for my records. Nice to see what I was bidding on, how much I paid or lost by, and how much auctions went for if my snipe was too low to go through. As a seller, I believe I can go back a year viewing the FVFs on my listings. For the above title though, I had FVFs go through on Dec 17th of 07 for my CIB Bounty Bob which was sold at $450.
