Vernoman Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 Wow, there is an auction on ebay for motorodeo that doesn't end for another 8 hours that is already at $380! My question is, why? What makes this one so desirable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpendTooMuchOnAtari Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 I agree, that is a lot of money and more than I could spend. Although, it is simply supply and demand and there are a lot of new Atari collectors popping up all of the time, daily. Also, it is like you said a 10 which is considered the rarest and is actually a game made by the Atari company. The game looking in pretty much perfect condition and including the box and manual never hurts, also it is much more common in PAL version but the seller states it is NTSC so that is also good. I actually bid on this game up to about 100 bucks but that is about it. Remember, Quadrun is only a 9 and cartridge only can sell for $300 easily if it is in very nice condition. Also, think of this, I personally sold a Quadrun instruction manual only a few years ago for close to $90 but that was when I wasn't collecting and simply selling all video games I found. But, that was just a piece of paper that someone spent almost $100 bucks on. Also, I don't know the production run of this game in NTSC but that could definately have something to do with it. And, I haven't seen the game on eBay lately....especially complete! These are just my thoughts, I really don't know too much though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donkeykong1 Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 i once saw digital press sell a game for a little over $1300.00 YES I said $1300 It was boxed with shrinkwrap that was slit so business card could go in. Damn I wish I remembered the name. All I remember was that the box was black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 Seems to me awhile back a boxed Lochjaw went for close to a grand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpendTooMuchOnAtari Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 A boxed Malagai would also fetch a great deal! I think there was one not long ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn I wish I remembered the name. All I remember was that the box was black. That was Malagai, landsmarra won that. $380.00 for Motorodeo is a steal, I expect it to end at more than $600.00 !

Voch Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 I feel guilty about spending $5 on a Rarity 5 game that I really want. Now that I have almost all the common stuff I think my eBay days are numbered. Voch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 $380.00 for Motorodeo is a steal, I expect it to end at more than $600.00 ! Why do I get the feeling that one day someone is going to find a warehouse full of boxed NTSC Motorodeos and Ikari Warriors? They must be somewhere! Atari obviously made more than the small hadnful that have turned up. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest That same warehouse probably also has Asterix NTSC sitting in it next to the 5200 Asteroids Controller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianoid Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 I guys the sky's the limit on something like an NTSC MR that only pops up once a year. I would have expected it to fetch something like $400. Phew! Now, all you PAL Motorodeo hoarders out there recognize that your 'wrong' format cart is worth about 10% the price of that NTSC one. Thank you very much. ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 I'm willing to sell my boxed NTSC Motorodeo for $700 like the last went for. Boxed NTSC Ikari Warriors same price. Seriously though, sometimes I wonder why I hang onto these rare games. Extra $$$ could really come in handy with my house hunting.

Agent57 Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 I can't see why anyone would want to buy your copy (especially at that price) since the ROM is now available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marco Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 Are the NTSC and PAL boxes exactly the same? Cheers, Marco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marco Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 Ah, I'm sure a PAL box and manual and a loose NTSC cart won't add up to $700 Cheers, Marco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
