Jimbo57 Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 (edited) Records that sell between collectors for 35 cents on discogs list for $25 on ebay. I got boxes of 5.5"s floppies, some commercial software some blank, some labeled, and cases of blanks, and several large boxes of plastic cases of 3.5" disks. I just threw out 30 large floppy trays clearing a house. If you're nearby I'll sell you floppies in bulk, just make a reasonable offer for me to dig out the boxes. I might even consider a trade for game controllers or games. I already threw out all the dead 3.5" when I recovered the data for a lawsuit, so those should be mostly working. I actually have a few floppies that came with a program to test if the pc is Y2K safe. Edited August 22 by Jimbo57 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beeblebrox Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Love this one. Not only asking an astronomical price for this 600XL bundle, the listing title says with 8 x games, but in reality it only has 3...the listing contradicts itself!! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/355984811142 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That cart also looks to be in nice condition. Not sure if the seller even realises the value of the cart alone; maybe, maybe not. Here's a close-shot image of the cart from the auction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+MrFish Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 2 hours ago, www.atarimania.com said: Huh? Ah, my fault. I missed it in the search results because it's titled "Mathematics Action Games - Star Maze" there. I expected it to be titled like the front of the cart (and box), which just says "Star Maze".

It just shows, if it's rare enough and is a good enough piece of software, it can hold value. It's just a loose cart too. Try getting your hands on a boxed copy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having some doesn't keep it from being rare. 6 minutes ago, _The Doctor__ said: It isn't all that rare... It's generally considered a rarity 9.

Atari8guy Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 (edited) Not in response to anyone in particular but rare and valuable aren't the same thing. I have a Speedscript cart, that I made myself, extremely rare. It's value? 5 bucks. Edited August 26 by Atari8guy 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.atarimania.com Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 15 minutes ago, MrFish said: It's generally considered a rarity 9. Consider that a standard "9". Cartridges in general have a certain aura but even some high profile games that came out on disk are rarer than that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cartridges in general have a certain aura but even some high profile games that came out on disk are rarer than that. Yeah, I'd agree. I suppose ratings should really carry one digit beyond a decimal point. Although ratings are also somewhat subjective. I think part of the aura about carts is that less titles exist on them compared with disks and cassettes. This translates to a possibility of owning a more-complete collection of them; thus there tends to be a lot of cart collectors, which in turn creates some additional scarcity for the medium. They're also less fragile than disks and cassettes, which makes collecting for them somewhat less risky. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
