Geister Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I'm tempted to get an EBay account just to spoof these idiots and see if I could get so far out in left field that even Ebay says WTF and bans me. Alterantively, I could spoof these idiots to provide this thread with a lifetime supply of content! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfriendly Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 OK, I posted a thread about this in the forum but I guess I should have titled it better because nobody really looked at it so I'm posting the link here. Y'all have to check out this guys eBay store because I can't remember the last time I saw so many NIB games for the 2600. I wonder how long the seller has had all of these games and where the heck did they get them all from!? Take a look and tell me what you think. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?item=186259537050&rt=nc&_trksid=p4429486.m3561.l170197&_ssn=silius_parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you leech but it when it's NIB and graded 9.0 or higher it's crazy what people will pay. You get 6 copies of Raiders for $70 each and if you could get them autographed by Howard Scott Warshaw then have them graded think what that might bring. This is bought 8 days ago and there was another one that sold for almost $200 also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is bought 8 days ago and there was another one that sold for almost $200 also. I buy stuff to collect and occasionally play. Not because it is rare and looks pretty and graded... the only system I try and make sure I get the full box and everything for is the Jaguar, since I still have most of it from when I bought it in '95. Other than that, I try to stick to just carts, mostly due to space. I think I have a decent amount of 5200 and a few 7800 carts. 2600 ones are just games I would play, or new releases. So spending that much on a game is... a big no from me. Haha, I was looking at Plate mail armor on ebay earlier though... apparently you can get a full suit for 1200-1900 bucks!

_The Doctor__ Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 (edited) perhaps you don't know how the collectables game gets started with a core group buying at inflated prices from each other, and the transactions being nearly equaled out? it's dirty but true, check out how the same players moved from a multitude of items, cards, cars, retro, etc. it's a matter of record Edited February 21 by _The Doctor__ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I watched the whole thing about the collectibles racket. It's disgusting. That's why I don't really consider myself a collector, more of a 'dude who buys random stuff, and by the time it shows up i wonder, 'why did I buy that again, I don't have time to actually use it...' so it sits in a box for a while until I find it again and think, "Oh yeah, I sort of remember ordering this..." (see my collection of duplicate choplifter carts...) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beeblebrox Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 (edited) Just how rare are Adventure International games (the large format cassette based ones with internal poly packaging and cardboard sleaves, as opposed to standard small cassette versions)? This seems a bit excessive at near £400, especially given it's condition. Even if it were mint I'd expect it to be an 8th of the asking price, or at a push a 4th. OK, so these have best offer on them. I wonder if you offered say £30 whether the seller would jump at it? Not that I am going to. Just curious as to whether these are truly that rare. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115135418640? Edited March 5 by Beeblebrox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not even worth £50 At least he wouldn't have to pack it carefully IF the Pokeys and keyboards are good, it is still actually worth around $200. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been actively collecting Atari computer stuff for the last 5 years and I just finally came across a lunar lander cassette in package for the atari 8 bit computers. This is one of the first games that I bought with my own money back in the day so I really wanted to own it again. Especially since I also have the full size arcade game also. Nice 'circle of life' type of nostalgia thing!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beeblebrox Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/166637245356? Somewhat expensive for just the 800xl casing. Not even in good condition. Some scratches and yellowing. Maybe worth it at a quarter of the asking price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
