AtariLeaf Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 eBay Auction -- Item Number: 170713255306 That seems insane to me. I know its not a common game but someone paid $70 + shipping for it? Am I out of the loop or did it really shoot up in price in the last couple of years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennybingo Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 nope...10 to 18 bucks at most...IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20ohm20 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I paid ~$12 for Subterranea about five months ago. Someone paying $70 for it on eBay is insane, but not completely surprising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntavio Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I think it's worth about $20-25. Someone bait the hook and caught themselves a fish who doesn't do their research. I went through the other items offered by the same seller and there is nothing too outrageously priced. The even have Shootin' Gallery for $16 and I found it more difficult to find than Subterranea. Oh well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydro Thunder Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 A few months ago I got a loose Subterranea for $20 I believe, that's the going rate. The last time a CIB one went on ebay, about a year ago last I recall, it crossed $300, which is ridiculous. True value, collectors wise was about $75 CIB if I'm correct. It's a great game though, and definitely worth $20 or so if you ask me for the loose cart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLeaf Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 $20 is about what I thought. Someone lost their mind and didn't know where else to look I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Cafeman Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 (edited) Loose? I own two. Didn't pay more than $6 for either. The Exchange! EDIT -- Sorry, I thought we were talking the Sega Genesis game Subterrania. Argh! Edited October 29, 2011 by Cafeman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purduecrum Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Is there an echo in here? I think the Subterranea cart is similar to Mario Bros. The demand outpaces the rarity as the primary cause of the inflated price. I think you could put Hero in this category too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari2atari Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I sold it with instructions on here last year for $35 - - http://www.atariage...._1#entry2179986 That's about half of what the eBay seller wants (and without instructions!) which seems about normal - - eBay is usually double what most people on AA will pay for something! And, of course, Buy It Now produces higher prices - - the seller wants to ensure they capture maximum value from it, so they crank up the price. Someone recently got a nice deal on the PAL version, too, it appears - - 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%2Fcsc%2Fi.html%3F_nkw%3Dsubterranea%2Batari%26_sacat%3D0%26_sop%3D12%26_dmd%3D1%26LH_Complete%3D1%26_odkw%3Dsubterranea%26_osacat%3D0%26_trksid%3Dp3286.c0.m270.l1313 It's a fun game, by the way - - I still have it on the Harmony and boot it up somewhat often. It's kind of nice how it varies in gameplay between a couple different modes. -a2a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrad Hart Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I have been looking for a CIB copy to finish my Imagic set for a couple of years now. The last two on ebay went for ~140 and then ~$325. I have seen two come up total. I have been one of the final bidders (or first place loser) both times. I'd guess I'm not the only one who just needs this game and that the rarity rating for it (at least CIB) is not accurate. For the $325 one, I bid high just to try and snipe it in the $100's... imagine my surprise when I lost (better than my surprise if I won at that price I guess).
