Crazy Climber Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Hello My boss has a ton of Vic 20 stuff, He asked for some help selling it so I asked him if he could make a list so I could ask you guys if he has anything rare or valuable that computer collectors would be interested in. I am not trying to get rich off junk or anything, I just have no idea what Vic 20 stuff goes for and he asked me to help him out (and he is my boss afterall) Let me know if anything here sounds interesting, just have to make sure he's not sitting on a R10 or anything Thanks guys!

labrat Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 (edited) The digital press rarity guide lists vic-20 carts. The pricing they give is probably wildly inaccurate, but it should at least give you an idea of which (if any) are the rare ones.

Mayhem Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Nothing really valuable there to be honest, but PM sent, got a couple of things to note... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roberto Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 "Radar Ratrace" was one of the VIC original launch titles which was internally developed at Commodore. I guess that might be a relatively rare/interesting item for a collector, assuming it is of course boxed and in good condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Ragan Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Gonna have to agree with most of the guys on this one. Your collection includes a lot of common first-party releases, along with the occasional Sega and Parker Bros. title. I'd say Congo Bongo and Deadly Duck are the most valuable of the lot. The big money's on Jelly Monsters (which was briefly available, then recalled due to copyright issues) and some of the quirky, off-the-beaten-path third party games. The only problem is that since the VIC-20 itself isn't highly sought after by collectors, even the rarities aren't going to fetch a lot of coin. There's not much supply, but not much demand either. My suggestions are to go to the Denial web site (www.sleepingelephant.com/denial, if memory serves) and, if you can find it, Ward Shrake's Cartzilla cartridge list for more information. Godzilla was written over ten years ago but it's still quite a handy resource for the VIC-20 fan. http://www.zimmers.net/anonftp/pub/cbm/vic20/Cartzilla.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roberto Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 No, Radar Ratrace is actually quite common. Good to know! I hope to get one cheap then! I liked it in the day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirage Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 No, Radar Ratrace is actually quite common. Good to know! I hope to get one cheap then! I liked it in the day... Me too. It's one of my favorite Vic games, maybe my #1 fave. I just turned the volume way down (sick of hearing that sour last note in the tune) and played it for hours when I was 10!

Nukey Shay Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Also note: The tape version of Cyclons (Rabbit Software) should not be confused with the cartridge version of Cyclon (Boone). The latter is unbelievably rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 The big money's on Jelly Monsters Not really... it's quite common, especially in the UK. It's more a rarity 4 or 5 game today, and shouldn't go for more than $8-10 loose. As for checking cart rarities, look at the online guide @ Digital Press; since Ward retired I've been keeping shop on it and maintaining the faith in the first breadbin... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roberto Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Thanks! The online rarity guide is quite useful (still, i couldn't find the C64 titles I was looking for anywhere... I guess they must be pretty rare then! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 The guide is only for cartridges, and for the most part, just game cartridges. If the C64 games you refer to are on disk, then that's why they won't be listed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
