minorleagueguy Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 Not too bad for $12. minorleagueguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATARIPITBULL Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 If the carts were in mint shape, I would say nice buy, but if not, I think you might have paid a little to much for those carts, but any find in the wild is a good find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLeaf Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 Isn't decathalon by itself a $10 cart? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxman Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 As a loose cart, not even close to $10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homerwannabee Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 People I think forget that with ebay there is a shipping charge. Fair market value for a video game actually goes for about twice what you see it go for on ebay atleast for your more common games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Oni Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 I think you got a good deal I myself pulled a bag of atari Cartridges out of the dump where I work. Lots of old ones in there including Spider man and Outlaw. Hey it's how much they are worth to you. I also pulled one of the heavy six original ataris out and have it set up and working good. Is this there any real value to it. Mr Oni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
video game addict Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 Those games are all well worth $2 a pop, Spider-Man the only one I have't really put much time into, but the others are great games, lots of fun if you bought to play, then you got a great deal!

AtariChild840 Posted May 30, 2004 Author Share Posted May 30, 2004 i actually did bargain. i picked up those games from 2 different people though. and its true, i think i would have payed way more for those on ebay (being screwed with shipping and all).

AtariChild840 Posted May 30, 2004 Author Share Posted May 30, 2004 and yes, i'd never played spiderman before but its actually a great game. Kind of like a poor man's Crazy Climber...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair market value for a video game actually goes for about twice what you see it go for on ebay atleast for your more common games. While others forget that aside from inflated shipping charges, the charge on the game(s) themselves are inflated on Ebay. Cap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
