Frostbite Bailey Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 WTF??? Where did it go? Seller ended auction! Side-deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostbite Bailey Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Guess I should have read auction more carefully, someone obviously had an offer to good to refuse. Hope they got what it was worth.:: I am getting multiple direct email messages from buyers offering a BUY IT NOW bid if you have a serious offer or interested please contact me. I will happy to answer any questions. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpendTooMuchOnAtari Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) Hope they got what it was worth.:: What is this game worth? Edited January 18, 2012 by SpendTooMuchOnAtari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Hope they got what it was worth.:: What is this game worth? With the box? I would guess up to around $2k depending who was after it. Mind you that is the worst condition box I've seen but a pepsi box in bad shape is still worth ALOT of money. I don't even think there is 10 known boxed copies of this game in the whole world.

Frostbite Bailey Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I would say in the $1800 to $2000 range, even with thr box being in rough shape; it is still the original box. And like Shawn said there are not many known to exist. Depends on what a collector wanted to pay, two or more collectors going after it with deep pockets who knows.

+Wonder007 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 One of the very few boxes I do not own........been waiting patiently for a nice box. I was kind of debating on getting this one...maybe it is an omen that it was sold prematurely....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Get your box while you can You can always upgrade If I bought that one (never would as its outside my pay grade) I think it could be restored at least by having the pen ink removed. The indentations would still be there but I'm more than sure a stamp or painted art restorationist could fix those issues no problem.

Dino Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I may be wrong, but biro removal is nearly impossible. That's why banks recommend using biro when writing checks as it is impossible to remove without damaging the paper. You may be able to remove the biro from the box with some heavy bleaching which would damage the paper but may not look bad as it is a white surface, but the biro on the sticker (which is the most valuable part of this itme IMHO) is there to stay....

nofrills100 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 30 year old ink would be thoroughly saturated into that board. There is unfortunately no way of removing it without damaging the paper. You'd just have to consider it as part of the charm and history of the object.

Frostbite Bailey Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 You can reduce the pen ink, but not throughly remove it. It does add charm and history; plus you could call the number:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostbite Bailey Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 You could try to use a bleach pen or depending on the ink you could try chemical ink eradicators which can be purchased from most stationery stores. The chemicals alter the bonds of royal blue fountain pen ink -- rendering it invisible; although other forms of ink, such as from a ballpoint pen, will turn brown if the chemical ink eradicator is applied to them. I have tried it before and had varying degrees of success, some it looks great just the indents of the pen mark, others it has faded the ink, but it not removed it completely. Just depends on what you are working on and the risks you are willing to take. Cheers, FB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dino Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 A bleach pen may make it bleed and make it look worse. in this case i would leave it as is. personally, pen marking like this are worse than creases or tears and i personally wouldn't bother buying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixitguy74 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Just an observation, but I noticed the OP only has one post here at AA and the auction kinda disapeared. Is this just an odd coincidence or something more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homerwannabee Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 It would have been interesting to see where this would have ended in price. It is not unusual to see things go for double what they are worth if the top two bidders are in some kind of bidding war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
