Atari_Bill Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I think the following ebay listing meets all four requirements of this topic. http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?ff3=4&pub=5574883395&toolid=10001&campid=5336500554&customid=&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2FVGA-GRADED-NM-80-ATARI-400-800-Princess-and-Frog-ATARI-Video-Game-System-NEW-%2F290967527736%3Fpt%3DVideo_Games_Games%26hash%3Ditem43bf042138%255D290967527736 Someone paid a grading company who gave it a grading of 80+ NEAR MINTcalling it a 5 1/4 INCH DISK GAME. I don't think I'd ever trust their grading system, they didn't even look close enough to read the box and see it is a cartridge game. Then the seller thinks it's worth $1,129.95, at least they made it Best offer and the plastic case will protect it. This seller has not been the sharpest guy on ebay for a while now. At least in the past his prices have only been ridiculous. Now that he's discovered the wonderful world of grading he can take ridiculous and multiply it times 10. There's a special place in hell for his type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari_Bill Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Anyone have any idea why this went so high? I know it's not a "ridiculous" high amount, but it was something I was interested in and compared to any last sales I looked up went at least double what they normally sell for. http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?ff3=4&pub=5574883395&toolid=10001&campid=5336500554&customid=&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2F111156211060%3FssPageName%3DSTRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT%26_trksid%3Dp3984.m1423.l2649 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last one was sold 1/18 for $56. For something that shows up every 8 months the price is rather low. The blue re-release cartridge is even more rare than the box, because most blue re-release Spacechase boxes contain the old cartridge. I'd say the cartridge is as rare as Malagai. I got the cartridge for $3, so it is totally undervalued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had several of this version over the years and traded / sold them off over time. I think I'm down to 2 of them at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be a recent phenomenon. From 2000 - 2010 time frame I know I picked up probably 6 of this style over the course of the decade for next to nothing. Guess I shoulda kept them all then.

SoulBlazer Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 In general, I am mistified by the prices that Commodore items are going for these days, C64 games in particular. I can only guess that this is a rare game and being sealed adds to the value. Just from the cover, it reminds me of that Data East arcade game, Disco something-or-other.
