Brad2600 Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...8&category=3528 Pretty high BIN price. Never knew that it existed though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindfield Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 Yes, it was made. A real irony, for me anyway, was that I had one way back when, when I acutally had a decent 2600 collection. I seem to recall at the time that I had bought it around Christmas of '85 or '86 from Toys "R" Us, when I recieved money for Christmas and splurged on a few carts that my normal weekly allowance couldn't afford. Now I wish I'd managed to keep it. :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 I would only pay that price if it was complete in box with instructions. I've seen loose ones sell on eBay for half that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t.skid Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 AA rarity guide give to the game a 7, 'very rare'. It worth the BIN price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted February 22, 2003 Author Share Posted February 22, 2003 As MMF said, it would only be worth that if it was complete with instructions in box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cvga Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 I don't think $75 was unreasonable. You couldn't touch this in the box with instructions for that price. I got my copy from a friend who gave it to me because it wouldn't play on his 7800. Neither one of knew it was rare at the time. I think I gave him Q*bert in return.

StanJr Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 Yeah, I had both this and the first Miner 2049er when I was a wee lad, and then, of course, the yard sale happened. I'd rather not talk about it. I've been chasing it ever since.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nathan Strum Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 Wow! Sure glad I hung onto these: It looks like belonging to the Columbia Video Game Club was actually worth something after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smile_walle Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 As MMF said, it would only be worth that if it was complete with instructions in box. Someone told me that complete with instructions in box of Miner 2049er II could be worth more than $150.00!! Not Cheap! Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted February 22, 2003 Author Share Posted February 22, 2003 Wow..that's quite a bit man! I would never pay that kind of money for ANY cart! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
