MotoRodeo Rare?

[gilsaluki]

I have a Digital Press Collector's Guide which states Atari 2600 MotoRodeo is rare, worth $100.00. Another guide says it's worth $60 with box and instructions. I just snapped one up on eBay for $19.00, shipped. I have noticed there are a lot of them for sale on eBay lately. One guy has a whole carton full of them. Is this really a "rare" item, or has someone found a stash of them? It makes you wonder. Mine is definitely not a fake as the paper instructions are definitely ole, faux spots are showing in various places. What gives with these last 2600 titles Atari issued in 1990? I know they are not from Alamogordo.

You got it for $20 cause that is all it's worth.

Thanks for pointing out that I screwed up CPUWIZ.

It's like everything else in collectibles, it's only rare until a nice supply is found. If they ever get absorbed into the collecting market, they may go up again, but for now, the price will remain low.
