AuburnFan Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Hi all, I am completely new here, and I hope that I am not breaking community rules by posting my auction since I am new. If I missed a prohibiting rule, please let me know. I'd be more than willing to take down this post or whatever else you need me to do. Anyway, I am selling my Out of Control cartridge for the Atari 2600 over on ebay: eBay Auction -- Item Number: 150583342524 The auction includes the cartridge, manual, and box. I am the original owner of the game, and bought it as a kid in 1984 (I think) at a Zayre department store in Tallahassee, FL. I recall not having very much money and looking at several of the 'budget' titles stacked up on the shelf, which were mostly Avalon Hill games. I think Zayre was sort of like a Big Lots of its day, and my guess is they had bought these games from other retailers that couldn't move them. Anyway, I distinctly remember there were about three shelves with dozens of Out of Control, London Blitz, and other AH games there. I got Out of Control, and a few weeks later I had enough money that I was able to go back and get the London Blitz game. Fast forward almost 30 years, and I am cleaning out my closet and find a box of Atari carts that I guess my mom had dropped off at my house some time ago. I checked online and discovered that Out of Control was pretty darn rare. Makes me wish I had picked up a few more way back then. Anyway, if anyone has any questions about the game, condition, etc. just ask. I'd be happy to answer them and provide additional pictures if you like. Thanks, Richard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Wonder007 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Congrats on your auction....you should be able to get good coin for your game. Two questions: 1) Does your auction include the cartridge insert...it has the Avalon Hill logo at the bottom? 2) Does your auction include the registration card??? Please advise. Thanks, - Wonder007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuburnFan Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 Unfortunately no registration card or insert. Just the manual and cartridge in the box. Thanks for the well wishes! Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnFan Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 I just wanted to let everyone know that my auction is ending in less than seven hours. I've had a number of offers for side deals, but I am playing this straight. So, if you are still interested, the auction is still there and ends today.

Can you interchange inserts and cards from a more common 2600 AH game or are they dedicated to this title. If they are generic then I don't see something like that affecting the price that much. If they are dedicated to this title then yes that is a problem esp the insert which would be a !@#~# to find by itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamTR Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I could have swore the one I bought a few years ago (2007) was the last one boxed on eBay before this one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's one reason I like hanging out here -- since I'm a gamer, and not a collector, I get to laugh at all these people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
