+Lathe26 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I received my Spiker today and after some small repairs the box looks okay. ... Looks definitely better now. 7 to go. 7 to go? Did you get 7 Spikers? [Just kidding, I'm sure that you are referring to 7 other boxes] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignorama Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 It turned out pretty well! The rest should be easy One of the last 7 is Chess The others are Jetsons, Mountain Madness, Learning Fun I and II, World Series Baseball and Triple Challenge. So it will take a while and a lot of money, but Spiker was the biggest fish, so it feels like finish line. I leave Chess for the 125, because I want to complete my collection fast and dont look years for a Triple Challenge ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+JasonlikesINTV Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Nice pickup! The Tandyvision one is the prettiest console IMO, but the Sears Super Video Arcade box may be my favorite box. The Super Pro System (console and box) are pretty nifty as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scalpel Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I just bought 5 NIB Intellivision games : Centipede, Advanced Dungeon & Dragons, World cup Soccer, Bump n jump, Worm Whomper. I will receive them on Thrusday or Friday. I know the value CIB but not for NIB. Do you have ideas ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troy_Whelan Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Does anyone put any stock in this site's price guide: http://www.rarityguide.com/ I used to, now I use it as a very rough gauge for a directional indicator; i.e. fairly common value, moderate value, or fairly high value. Other than that, the dollar amounts are very outdated with some being higher and many being lower. Troy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freewheel Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Does anyone put any stock in this site's price guide: http://www.rarityguide.com/ As already mentioned, for VERY coarse estimation, sure. The problem is that for stuff that rarely sells, you can get hilarious results. Like say a pretty common game that we all know is worth little, but in the past week only some idiot Amazon seller has had it for $50. Well, that site will faithfully say $50. Price guides based on "for sale" prices (as opposed to "actually sold" prices) are never accurate, especially in this day & age where random Joe can sit on merchandise for months or even years. When everything was via a retail store, at least you had an idea if it was in the ballpark - they had to set prices somewhere close to reality.

Atari_Bill Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Been looking for this one for a while. It's been difficult to find worth the wait! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Been looking for this one for a while. It's been difficult to find worth the wait! Nice find! Is that sealed? I saw an opened one sell recently and was surprised how high it went (I'm not up on Aquarius pricing). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_Bill Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 It is sealed (but not really). It wasn't sealed when I bought it but arrived that way so whatever? The one you saw was probably me. These are pretty tough to find so I didn't want to let it get away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari_Bill Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 What did it go for? About $80. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+cmart604 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 About $80. Sounds about right for Burgertime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojotv67 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 eBay Auction -- Item Number: 291246476582 Take a guess who came in second... I'm seriously thinking about getting rid of my Aquarius system. Burgertime is the one game that I want to get and it only shows up once in a blue moon.

Atari_Bill Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 (edited) Sorry about that. I was in the same boat for this one and the price it finished at wasn't even close to what I put in as my max. You're right. This one doesn't come up but once in a blue moon!

boxpressed Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I sold one for about $80 a couple of years ago, IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 (edited) Yeah, the overall scarcity of Aquarius games has kept me from diving into collecting for it. I have a loose console with mini expander and around 6-7 CIB games. I also have the older Aquaricart (bigger shell) and the memory cart with sweet green LED. I'd love a decent boxed console, but I'll probably hold off collecting until the homebrew scene takes off.

freewheel Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) Welp, I finally made the jump into Aquarius. 3 games (Snafu, Astrosmash, and Treasure of Tarmin) and a mini expander, all boxed and complete for $15. The game boxes are in middling shape, but the mini expander is pretty decent. Now I just have to find a goddamn computer. I've always avoided this one due to stupid high prices around me, but what the heck. The last time I saw an Aquarius cart in the wild had to be 15 years ago. At the time I had no idea wtf it was for (pretty sure it was a memory expander, which wouldn't trigger a connection with any particular computer). Wish like hell I had picked it up given how rare this stuff seems to be. Edited October 7, 2014 by freeweed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
