the-topdog Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 (edited) I kind of like the guy selling a $50 Brazilian 2600 knockoff for a million dollars. eBay Auction -- Item Number: 370307442401 He was pretty much a jerk to me when I asked him why it was worth that much. I found two online for around $50 (my Portuguese is a little rusty but I believe that is the price) I thought I was rather polite considering you spammed my inbox 4 times with the same question over and over which is already answered in big bright red letters right in the description. I sent you two messages. 1) My original question and 2) a followup after your response. If you got more than 2 it's eBay glitching or you are thinking of someone else. And you were rude just like you are being now. Edited February 27, 2010 by the-topdog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homerwannabee Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 What really sucks is how a bunch of tools probably screwed this persons auction up. I really do have a bunch of hatred for a person that does this. If I was king I would put a person who screws with an auction as a person who does 40,000 in property damage. Meaning anyone who screws with an auction in my world would get about 5 years in prison, with hard labor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zap! Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Well, the thing is I really don't want to sell them, unless there's a chance that they go for a huge price on eBay with all the Stadium Events madness. Do you remember what the loose and CIB ones went for? I'll send Rik a text and ask let you know what he thinks. That's where the "wild fluctuation" comes in. I have seen them go anywhere from $250-$700 each CIB. If you use the general rule of thumb for handheld electronic games a CIB unit sells for 3 times the price of a loose unit and a NIB unit sells for 2 times (on up) the price of a CIB unit. My wild-a$$ guess would be that they would sell in the huge spectrum between $500-$1400 each... but confirm that with Rik. I really don't want to sell them, but may test the waters with a $4k reserve. What's your guy feeling? Sell or no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ntavio Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Double Bubble, baby! Yeah good score on the BMX Airmaster. I got it and it's NTSC and everything. Too bad the Z-Tack is PAL. I'm trying to decided whether to neg or neutral him for not answering my question about whether it was after I already bought it. It's my own dumb fault but what'd he think, I'd not notice when I got it? I dunno... but I've been making some sweet buys on eBay lately. Spike's Peak single ender for $24. Both Bernestein Bears and Smurfs Save the Day for $24. $12 each with manuals! I'll be posting the manuals soon for like $5 each. But back on topic, this surely is a record setting price. I would love to see the collection of the winner. TNT or Atari Red? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djpubba Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Atari red with a scratch on the label but otherwise very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were me, I'd hold onto them. The AdventureVision is a great unit and it is hard to find boxed or sealed units or sealed games. It is a great piece of history you have and it is good that a collector has them for preservation sake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think in an open market you could expect $500 or so perhaps $1000 if things got nuts. Most Adventurevision collectors are Atari collectors not Nintendo collectors. I can't see what happens with NES Stadium Events affecting Adventurvision prices unless the seller of a 40k game happens to want to buy some Adenturevision games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Xbox 360 owners will collect either system, but have you seen some of the battles between Playstation 3 gamers, and Nintendo Wii players? Most people who have a Playstation 3 despise the very existence of the Nintendo Wii, and think it is a step back in gaming. Most Nintendo Wii owners see the Playstation 3 as stuck on the graphics, with almost no good games. In fact if Nintendo Wii owners are going to have a second system it is almost always a Xbox 360. So with this much hatred for each other why would most cross collect? Now will there be unbelievable prices for the PS1? Sure why not, but this is going to come from the core gamers that have been Playstation gamers their whole lives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Worth noting, the seller of the second "sealed" Stadium Events that is currently on ebay did not respond to my request to pick the game up in person to check it over to make sure it was not a fake. Take that for what it's worth I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulBlazer Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 The other CIB copy of the game is ending in about 10 hours. There's still no bids on it, which is surprising to me. True, the opening bid id $9000, but history indicates the game is worth that. The seller also just uploaded a video where he talked about the game and showed it in perfect quality. It's a really funny video also. Very cool that photos of his game are going to show up in a magazine article soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only suggested $4k so they game won't sell. I don't want to sell either Adventurevision game, I just want to see what two sealed AV games go for. The only way to really do it is through eBay. I could put an insane reserve, and if it sells, then I get a better car for the Summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't want to sell them, but may test the waters with a $4k reserve. What's your guy feeling? Sell or no? I'm sorry, but your logic completely eludes me. Just because one very specific NES game is selling for temporarily insane amounts has nothing to do with the value of your Adventurevision games. It's not like everyone is going to suddenly think, "gosh, Stadium Events is worth tons, let me buy up Adventurevision games!". There are only a handful of Adventurevision collectors and many more of us who might collect it if it was more available and cheaper. I suspect you could get a decent return on your investment in the two Adventurevision carts, but it isn't gonna be enough to retire on and I doubt you will break more than a grand for the pair, especially since you don't have a system to go with it and they aren't exactly common. While this particular NES game has made it seem as though the video game market is red hot, the reality is that I have gotten some of the best bargains on Ebay and forums for rare stuff in the past year as a result of the economy and people just getting out of collecting for various reasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya that one is totally legit from a well known collector. Heck of a deal. I assume it didn't break 10k due to the rip in the top flap.
