peter2014 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Hi, looking for QBert Qubes for the Atari VCS 2600 or the CBS Colecovision. The game package and cartridge should be in good condition. The manual wouldnt be necesarry. Saw it for US $ 300 "Buy it now" on eBay, but thats too expensive for me. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I want to see the fool who would sell you a boxed Q*Bert's Qubes for less than $300.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_Bill Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Yeah if you're talking boxed 2600 Qubes, you're going to struggle being anywhere near $300. The box alone recently sold for around that if I remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 The ColecoVision version in CIB form will fetch in the neighborhood of $175-$225, but then again, sometimes auctions take on a life all their own and the next thing you know the winning bid is $350-$400!

+nanochess Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 NIAD and CPUWIZ are both right, Q*bert Qubes is an expensive game, it took me ages to get one at relatively good price for Colecovision ($230) The loose cartridge for Atari also is pretty expensive! (it has prevented me from getting a full loose Parker Brothers collection!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter2014 Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 Yep, the game is even expensive for the Colecovision. And no, today there is no way to get it on eBay, even for the Colecovision, under US $ 300. There are exceptions, but thos didnt handle quite well far too often (means the sellers dont act correct).

My only suggestion is to keep watching eBay daily. Sometimes appear copies at a low price, but of course these will fly right away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter2014 Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 nanochess, doing that already. And its strange. The games for 1st gen consoles are the only ones which keeping to increase in price. Other rare software like Infocom games experience a new game crash . You get Suspended folio nowadays for appr. 100 US $. Absolutely impossible 2 years ago. But LucasFilm Games or SNES games or, as mentioned, rare VCS 2600 games … raising like a rocket . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
