SpendTooMuchOnAtari Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 eBay Auction -- Item Number: 250584049020 Do you think anyone would really pay more for a TCM box that has been autographed? It seems that it would take away from the value but who knows. No way dude is getting 1k though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't be an Atari collector that wins this for sure either as Horror movie buffs are gonna be all over this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabsters89 Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 For a boxed copy of TCM I'd probably be willing to spend 150 bucks or so... So then the question becomes if those signatures merit spending an extra 850 dollars. I like the movie and all but let's face it, those are no name actors. Only Gunnar Hansen(Leatherface) enjoyed any success in his career, and at best he was a B movie star(Anyone ever see Mosquito? Didn't think so). There could be some die hard TCM fan who'd be willing to pay for that, but they'd be really into Atari and really into TCM. So what I'm trying to say here is... absolutely not hahah.

For $150 you would be lucky to get a loose cart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabsters89 Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 150 dollars would be grossly overpaying for a loose cart of TCM. I've considered buying this game in the past and 3 price guides claim that this game(loose) is worth 50, 85, and 108 dollars respectively. I could then use that 42 extra dollars to buy actually decent 2600 games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpendTooMuchOnAtari Posted February 20, 2010 Author Share Posted February 20, 2010 (edited) For $150 you would be lucky to get a loose cart. Completed ebay shows you can get a cart only for around 75 and with the booklet 115 but I know that is changing all the time and the box makes a huge difference. eBay Auction -- Item Number: 260548940272 I didn't think of any chainsaw nuts, I was on the one-track Atari mindset. So, yeah, you never know. Edited February 22, 2010 by SpendTooMuchOnAtari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Climber Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Nice! Are any of the actors dead now? That always brings up the value, also I see NO certificate of authenticity which can comprimise it's value...zero feedback seller does not help either but still a cool item!

Zwackery Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 For a boxed copy of TCM I'd probably be willing to spend 150 bucks or so... GFL getting a boxed copy for $150. At that price, I'd like 4 please. The price on a CIB copy has been steadily on the rise. I think JC wrote a bit about this in one of the more recent atari2600.com newsletters.

CPUWIZ Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 I'd love to have this and then have it autographed by the programmer as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari181 Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Would love to have a copy of this!, Huge Atari fan and Huge TCM fan this would be really cool, for about $200 not 1K that is a little too steep for most of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabsters89 Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I've been watching it since I say this post, and nobody's bid on it yet with 2 days left... I guess we're getting our answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Climber Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 A TCM in that condition (CIB 9/10) has to be worth around $300+ alone right? Or has this one started to get stupid crazy Halloween prices yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, apologies, i wasn't aware the prices had spiked so. Fortunately I just purchased a Double Ender cart of them and won't have to pay out the ass to enjoy them . But to update on the bidding for this autographed one, it's down to one day and still, nobody's touched it. He probably would have better luck if he started the bidding low and hoped that it inflated to 1 grand, as opposed to starting the bidding at 1 grand.

IMO, a CIB TCM is between $300 and $350, for a nice one. Gunner sigs go for around $20 to $40. Signed CIB would bring around $400 maybe $500 on a real good day.

+Psionic Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I'd love to have this and then have it autographed by the programmer as well. Good luck tracking Ed down to get him to sign it. LOL I was going to have Tim Martin (programmer) and Charles Band (former president of Wizard Games) autograph my copy of Halloween, but I eventually decided against it. As far as this TCM goes, Sr. is probably right...signatures like this certainly won't add value to an Atari collector, but they will to a horror buff. $1000 though? Probably not.
