bikeguychicago Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Another Spiker for sale....... eBay Auction -- Item Number: 251228425177 Oh geez. And it's from Utahmountainrose, which means it'll probably sell for the price of a used car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am seriously wondering if this one will set an all time high price. Anybody got info on the previous high water mark? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only pull up sold records on eBay, the highest being $1650 by our own Soulbuster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari_Bill Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 So do we start a Spiker pool? Put me down for $2000. (not my bid, but my estimate on final). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B0B 1ob1aw Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I would put it at $1,999 ... I think Bill is dead on. Psychological factors come into play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximebeauvais Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 1400$ for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Are you looking for anything specific? I moved into a bigger house, but it is "open concept", so ironically I have less rooms to outfit with A/V & HT stuff - and practically no extra storage place to put any of it. I've got: recievers, speakers, HD-DVD player, and other things I probably can't Remember. I have just about any kind of HT A/V cable available (HDMI, Optical, etc...). Plus all kinds of USB stuff, as well as Cat-5 cables and switches. Some gaming stuff like XBOX360 audio out dongles. The various cables and related accessories are ususally "new in bag". I sold some of the AVRs and Speakers on ePay already, but I still have about half that I need to take pictures and list. Just ask, and I'll trade any of it for CIBs... "these deals are insaaaaaaane!"... Thanks for the offer, but I'm ok on electronics. I need less crap around here, not more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Around a year ago, Spikers were selling for around $1100-1300 apiece, IIRC. One even went for $700, but was from a seller with no feedback. I'm sure it will go high, but for obvious reasons. I'm now to the point where I'd just be happy to pick up a cheaper loose cart and use my repro box. Even $1000 is still too pricey for me to be spending on a single video game.

voltron Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 There are lots of Spikers. Not as rare as it appears. maybe pricey but not rare. The hardest game for me to find was Jetssons CIB not Spiker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slab0meat Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Why is it near the top of the rarity guides and why is it so pricey if it's not rare? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voltron Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Why is it near the top of the rarity guides and why is it so pricey if it's not rare? It took me two month to find 2 spikers. Its rare for most bc of price. Just this year there have been 2 already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Why is it near the top of the rarity guides and why is it so pricey if it's not rare? I think he means that, although few were made, they still pop up 3-4 times per year and that there are other games that come around less often. That being said, Spiker has had it's share of dry spells in the past. We had a thread addressing this a while back, but I can't find it. I believe Voltron cited CIB Jetsons as "rarer" meaning he saw fewer of those on eBay than Spikers, even though the Jetsons is much cheaper and possibly released in higher numbers.

voltron Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Jetssons was a thorn for me. I found many loose cart but no cib for a while but then I pulled a rev and called the lurks to post one on ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmart604 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 $1650 BINs tend to bring these out of the woodwork. Big money for old video games can be quite motivating to some sellers. As for the highest, I believe it was Makke's $1800(?) or $1850(?). I could see $1500+ on this one. Some of the numbers Anne has got on her auctions have been obscene in a good way. Some staggering figures, in some cases 200-300% of what I'd expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voltron Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I should help anne out and throw a 1400 bid, so that the snipers pay at the end. I got some good stuff from thatI was missing in my collection especially with older homebrews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
