Unfortunately not many collectors will ever accomplish it. There may be only 10 to 30 range of up n down boxes in existence . You’re getting some really rare stuff with your Xante carts too. I am one of those few who has completed it. And yes the Up 'N Down is complete. @stupus and I have become the best of friends since I posted that I found that Up 'N Down at a local antique mall in December of 2017. I paid $50 for it. 4 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/237402-bigfoot-and-atari-collecting/page/10/#findComment-4305573 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+stupus Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Depends on how much you bid on it I guess lol The up n down box used to be in the $300 range but if 2 people bid insanely well..... But yes the manual is about as hard to find as the box. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/237402-bigfoot-and-atari-collecting/page/10/#findComment-4305576 Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes the manual is about as hard to find as the box. I am not sure why it is so elusive. The cart isn't that difficult to find. What is the reason for the manual and box being crazy rare. The last one I sold for $600 last year as a BIN on Ebay and it sold within minutes of me listing it.

I have seen cart and manual go for around $49 , the money ? is in the box.

Very nice those are some great looking boxes that take forever to get. I’m just now completing my Sega after years of collecting. Even after the “Big game up n down” some of those other boxes are still tough gets, especially nowadays. Congrats!

I didn’t see it until the last day of auction. That box has sold for 1200 something in the past so it’s not surprising. And there wasn’t no gouging I believe this started at a dollar although selling to another longtime collector is probably the better route. I recall an earlier post you made saying that you two would be going head to head in the future.

I didn’t bid on this I already have 2 cib up n downs, but it is possible going forward if the title is right that’s why it’s best to coordinate bidding between collectors ? 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/237402-bigfoot-and-atari-collecting/page/10/#findComment-4305737 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ll just have to wait for the up n down manual it could take some time. A collector tip if I were you I would work on getting more boxed copies. Forget the loose stuff except for the Uber rare carts like xante , Pepsi invaders etc. But I know that requires more money ? and boxed rarities are drying up. I was contemplating doing what you are with xante 7 years ago but there’s to many other games I wanted lol. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/237402-bigfoot-and-atari-collecting/page/10/#findComment-4306443 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The eighties was a great era with hot women, best music, and iconic companies like Atari & Nintendo hitting their stride before the video game crash of 1983. How did you manage to score Air Raid? That's a major accomplishment right there!

Thanks I bought it on eBay years ago. Back then air raids were playing hot potato, people would buy and sell them a few months later making them harder to track numbers. Now it seems there in stronger hands. I might trade one but it would have to be for an Uber rare game.
