holygrailvideogames.com Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 I was surprised by that one as well. I guess the box is hard to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted November 1, 2002 Author Share Posted November 1, 2002 I've seen it a few times but not that high. I found that one as you can see by the first bid, thinking I will have to dish out 50-60 bucks for it. I think these 2 guys "generalhellfire" and "shhrc" are loaded and in some kind of competition. They have pushed quite a few auctions through the roof lately. Why don't they do that to mine ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 For a game with a rarity of 6/10?? I guess the person who won REALLY wanted this. The bidder wasn't a newbie either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliColts Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 The only other thing I could think of is there is a 1984 LA Olympics sticker on the box, that may bring interest for an olympic collector. Although I am an Atari and specifically a 1984 LA Olympics collector, I doubt I would have paid half that much tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 What somebody will fork out for something they want really bad, damn the cost, is really shocking sometimes. I have the game already, the controller is nice but not a necessity, and I know I wouldn't pay $200 for it complete in the box. Some people would, that's their choice. *heh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philflound Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 Either I sold something to generalhellfire, which is probably the case, or he's on here, but I know that buyer from somewhere. If you have money or are desperate enough for something, you will pay for it. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 If only I could get someone to buy the "NIB" Pac-Man Cart that came w/my 5200 system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lifeguard Posted November 3, 2002 Share Posted November 3, 2002 Wow--that's pretty expensive. I'm just hoping to wander into that game in the wild and then get the controller for $15 or so from Best Electronics. Did that auction say some of the money was going to the debt for that Olympic games? If that's the case then the good General can write it off perhaps. I hear Generals have pretty good accountants.

jaysmith2000 Posted November 3, 2002 Share Posted November 3, 2002 For a game with a rarity of 6/10?? I guess the person who won REALLY wanted this. The bidder wasn't a newbie either. Keep in mind it takes 2 to drive the price up. I guess a couple folks were battling for it. The price is still ridiculous..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
