tjb Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Here's a copy of Karateka (XE version) for $180 OBO. I checked both B & C and Best and neither have it. Still I didn't think it was that rare and $180 seems pretty steep to me. Am I wrong? Opinions? eBay Auction -- Item Number: 180567857226 BTW, what's the tag for Ebay listings? I can never remember it. tjb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 There's information about the eBay bbcode tags here: http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/156176-please-use-ebay-bbcode-tags-when-posting-ebay-auctions-sellers-stores/ Thanks. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, just out of curiosity, are the eBay tags part of some custom code mods you wrote? tjb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+orpheuswaking Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I emailed her, and she seems fairly straight... I was questioning where she got the rarity 9 from (Atarimania shows a 7), here is my question and her reply. I'm curious as to where you got rarity nine from? At best this is a Seven (in sealed condition) http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-400-800-xl-xe-karateka_6047.html Anyway, good luck with the sale. >I think I copied auction template from my carnival massacre so that is probably why it says that...but i've heard it is very rare. last one on ebay sold for $210 and Summer games >just was listed before for $180 so I'm not going to reduce price until I understand the market value of the game...thanks for looking. - Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+orpheuswaking Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Also, I know I have a lot of the Bluebox XE games, and I've never seen Karateka in the wild. (not a big deal as I have it on disk three times LOL)... So I would hazard that it's rarer than most, but would not pay that much for it.

It did seem to be hard to come by but I still thought the price a bit steep. I guess if you were really into collecting it would be worth it. I do collect but I do so more to play the games rather that have them sit. tjb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Karateka was the last XE game I needed for my collection. It's pretty damn rare, but not $180 rare. I'd say $50 loose and maybe $100 boxed. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+orpheuswaking Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 That's probably where I would put it too tempest. although I would not pay that myself, but then again I know I'll never own it LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpendTooMuchOnAtari Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I sold one a while back and got about $70 for the cart only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari8bitCarts Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 These days it might start demanding $70-110. I don't see it very often, and I mean loose. I haven't seen it boxed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
