vtadave Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Getting closer to completing the 125. Probably paid too much for a few of these during COVID. What do you all think is the best approach for getting a few more of these in 2023? Ebay? Posting here or on Facebook? Here is what I still need. Hoping for CIB. Yeah a few rough ones in here obviously.

Omnibro Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Use anything you can. Every platform has its drawbacks and benefits. Remember that even if you come across something on your list not in great shape, get it. You can always upgrade and use the lower quality one for trade or sale. Rely on this forum, it vcan help greatly, there are good people in here that are always on your side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 That's a tough list. It's a slow climb to the top. Definitely show interest here and aving some trade bait always helps. I'm down to my last few Wii games and dealing with a similar issue. I'm just watching eBay frequently and slowly chipping away at them. Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinjinhawke Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Get some Apple Air Tags and then find a Sharp Shot CIB. Put the air tag in the box and add a MADE IN BRAZIL sticker to the box so its a variant. Seal the box and put it on eBay for $300.00. Whoever buys it will store it in their secret underground lair. Bring a large bag for the loot. Find out where Santa gets his bag. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+JasonlikesINTV Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Collecting isn't a destination, it's a Journey. I used to get frustrated by focusing on what I was missing instead of appreciating what I had. One day I told myself, "I'll be alright without you, Spiker, though I'll be waiting for you with open arms." Anytime you're feeling that way, don't stop believing in the process. Any way you want it, that's the way you need it, but if you're faithfully and patiently trusting the process, someday soon you'll get those games, even if it seems like it's taking infinity. Just remember, the wheel in the sky keeps on turning and none of us knows where we'll be tomorrow, so be good to yourself. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, your list (17 games @ estimated value of $5000- $5500 imo) is all of the big dogs it looks like (which will be 75% of the total value of your 125 when finished). Best bet is to get what you can when you can.. (again, my opinion). Dont save the highest priced games til the end. They will only cost you more in a few years. Ive seen Body Slam, Thunder Castle, Worm Womper, Decathlon, World Cup Soccer, and Tower of Doom on Ebay and other sites lately for descent prices. You will probably never see Spiker unknowingly pop up at a low price again (those days of people not knowing what they have are long gone). So be prepared to pay up for that one. Just keep your eyes open and make lots of contacts here on AA. It will help you immensely to complete your 125. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gar0u Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 I can still remember looking at INTV catalogs and buying Tower of Doom and Hover Force, but passing on Spiker, because I don't like sports games! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omnibro Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 (edited) I used to drive from Orange County to Torrance to go to the INTV office to pick up games since I was in LA going to shows all the time. It was such a tiny, modest place. I got Spiker and everything else there directly. And then I turned around years later and sold everything I had back in '93 for $250. All 125, ECS, changer, keyboard, all of it. Heavy sigh... Edited January 11, 2023 by Omnibro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did sell my childhood INTV with games at one point many years ago for far less than I'm sure I should have. I didn't have a ton of the big shooters like Spiker, but I know I had Congo Bongo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtadave Posted January 22, 2023 Author Share Posted January 22, 2023 Anyone know how to price a game like Mountain Madness Skiing? I have a line on a CIB copy, but there isn't much of anything on ebay sold items. Pricecharting is all over the map and has it at $214.67. Seems rather high, but who knows.

Morpheus Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 In my opinion, if you can wait a bit, a Mountain Madness at 150-175 bucks CIB in decent conditions can be found… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 $100 minimum. For years they went for $100-125, but there have been some pricey ones in the last few years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
