beardman32 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) Hello guys! Thought I'd make a topic to clarify for those who are still bidding and asking me if the Extra Terrestrials game is available, id like to officially confirm that the game has sold and I no longer own the game. The selling price was $16,500 USD. Although I originally wanted around $25,000, the buyer and I went back and forth for a week and we finally agreed on a fair/good price for both of us. It's sad seeing the game go, but I can confirm that it's in the hands of a respected collector who also bought a sealed stadium events a few years back from Tim Atwood I believe.The game was sold privately and the collector and I met at Niagara falls in order to do the exchange. Although I admire Atari, I felt as if this game would be appreciated more in the hands of another collector. Selling this game opened the possibility for me to finally purchase games I need like stadium events and magical chase in order to finish my collection.Thank you to everyone who admired the game and gave me advice, it's been a pleasure joining the community and being able to socialize and learn a thing or two from you guys. The highest offers I received for those who were asking: $4700 $8000 $9000 $12,000 CAD $15,000 $16,500 - Sold Edited August 30, 2018 by beardman32 Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/282423-extra-terrestrials-sold-16500-usd/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Gemintronic Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Actually, I thought the previous topic enticing people to bid started tactfully. I missed its true intention until a response or two later. Pictures of cash in this topic was a little much. But, I am a lesser man. Never sold anything like that in my life. 4 Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/282423-extra-terrestrials-sold-16500-usd/#findComment-4102329 Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Gemintronic Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Picture of cash was just for proof, that's all. No one needed proof. Or even hints you were willing to sell. If you're intentions were genuine you could just mention you picked it up. Everyone would be happy even without "proof". 2 Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/282423-extra-terrestrials-sold-16500-usd/#findComment-4102346 Share on other sites More sharing options...
