ledzep Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 I bought mine new (12/50) so I don't know about resale pricing. This seems ridiculous, though, https://www.ebay.com/i/174339432880?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&itemid=174339432880&targetid=915850255573&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9031199&poi=&campaignid=10456340584&mkgroupid=101996179605&rlsatarget=pla-915850255573&abcId=2145998&merchantid=110359058&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIy_XSrorW6gIV9j6tBh3WAA5wEAQYASABEgKIfPD_BwE but I guess it depends on how badly you want it (Meteorites).

patroclus99 Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Typical reseller nonsense. I think I saw some time ago someone selling it for 250.00 USD, which is why I never buy any homebrew "Oh, uh, I'm'a just a gonna' make a limited number of these. . . get'um while yu' can!" merch., because I'm pretty sure that it's usually some reseller ploy. Whatever. To each their own. . . not my thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nopaybob Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 #03 sold 10/16/22 for 200 + shipping I think the label and title screen were nice but I couldn't play it with how choppy gameplay was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all for starting auctions at .99 cents and letting them sell for whatever buyers are willing to pay for it. The funny thing about this auction is that I was the original buyer of the 49/50 cart. Purchased it in 2012 then I sold it on eBay in 2016. Now someone thinks its worth $450 🙁. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if they no longer sell this game then maybe it is rareish like some othsr 5200 titles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+swlovinist Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Pending the game and release, small numbered runs can fetch higher amounts. It frustrates collectors, but due to the scarcity I understand. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It frustrates collectors, but due to the scarcity I understand. I still don't understand the scarcity idea. I mean, ok, if you're making them yourself, fuck it, 50-100 is enough (boxed, manuals), I understand I suppose. But after that, let AtariAge or someone do a Common release, different artwork or something to distinguish from the 1st run, how does that negatively affect the homebrewist, it's not like he's getting a commission off of people reselling their carts on eBay. At least he'll get a percentage (I presume) of new game sales, yes? There's no worry that the game will magically flood game stores, this is still niche as fuck.

+swlovinist Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Numbered runs are tough and as a small publisher myself, I have both done them and avoided them at times. Agree that unlimited runs with different artwork are the win/win as someone who got the first run will have a collectable but also if someone wants to just play the game on a cart they can enjoy that as well.

That makes sense. I remember hearing, after the fact of course, about Protector (Defender) for the Vectrex. This was for the rare Limited Edition which came with a cool black box, the cart manual... and an all-pink overlay? What the fuck use is that? Still, super expensive if you can find it (like $3,000 on eBay, hahaaha, no thanks). So what, I eventually got the double cart of Y.A.S.I. (Yet Another Space Invaders) and Protector in one of those weak clear VHS cases. Much more affordable but nothing "collectible" compared to the original. And, later, homebrew overlays for both games. The overlay for Protector is so much better, really gives the Defender feel that all-pink overlay was missing. The game is unbelievable, it is Defender down to the sound effects. And just now, while looking for a video of Protector, I find out that there's a new Vectrex game, Cavern Rescue, that's sort of combination of Space Dungeon and Venture?!? How did I miss that? But it's not a limited release far as I can tell. https://vectrexmulti.ecwid.com/Vectrex-Games-c129732314 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oooh, I have #12, I wonder how many hundreds of dollars mine is worth? Odd wording in the eBay description, they keep calling it a "console", not a cartridge. "This limited edition Atari 5200 video game console is a must-have for any serious collector. Featuring the classic game Gauntlet, this console is a rare find that is sure to impress. With its sleek design and high-quality graphics, it offers a truly immersive gaming experience. The console is in excellent working condition and comes complete with all the necessary cables and accessories. Whether you're a lifelong fan of Atari or just starting to explore the world of vintage gaming, this console is a great choice. So why wait? Add it to your collection today! This is a ultra rare game that was created in limited quantities." Seems like a lazy cut-and-paste job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leech Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Ha, first I even heard of Gauntlet being available on the 5200... Would love a cart, but if it doesn't play very well, what's the point? Surprised Dandy hasn't been released for it yet. Would give a great reason for my 4 port... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
