A good deal and a bad deal

GOOD = eBay Auction -- Item Number: 190376589655

 

BAD = eBay Auction -- Item Number: 270540504739

 

 

Lots of nice Imagic games in that first lot!

 

Shark Shark boxed in nice condition, is not worth that much... doesn't look mint to me either, but in great or good condition.

That Imagic lot went for a good price.

 

Truckin' complete with map sold for $40 alone for me a month or so ago.

the bad auction: 40 dollars for a non sealed shark shark??????? wtf is up with that?

[cparsley]

Try a current one, someone wants $20 for a badly looking Star Strike cart, out of box, no overlays or nothing LOL

This is the auction I'm kicking myself for missing. It was even relisted, and I STILL managed to miss out! Fathom, an Intellivoice, Tower of Doom, all kinds of stuff for only fifty bucks + S/H...I was watching it, and simply forgot to bid. Damn these sniping habits of mine; get distracted for ten minutes, and you're out of luck.

Bah, loose games.....I am a CIB snob!

I agree in some ways, but sometimes you can piece together a CIB copy from different sources for a lot cheaper than it'd otherwise cost. I have an empty Swords & Serpents box that's waiting for a game/manual/OV, bought as part of a lot of empty Intellivision boxes that made a lot of my games CIB. The box cost me only a buck or so, and it shouldn't cost too much to get a loose copy with manual and overlay. That's a lot cheaper than paying for a CIB copy -- a recent Ebay auction reached $51 for a boxed copy minus one overlay, which is completely insane!

Since i'm just starting my collection, i'm happy with cart only. I just want to play the games. But sometime down the road i'd like to get boxes for all the games. But for now i'm happy just getting the games no matter how they come, torn labels and all.

That's how I started, but then it morphed into a CIB quest, which lead to to NIB quest....I guess I just like a challenge, and the boxes make for good man art.

I'm wondering if I still have any sealed copies of Shark Shark.

I agree. It would be nice to find some rarities but I'm not a hardcore collector or anything. I just wanna play.

 

Those Imagic cartridges would've been a sweet deal though.

Well, if you're starting a collection, you should be able to get a good 25-30 boxed complete games for about a buck a piece. Most Intellivision games are common and most come complete in the box. Of course, if you don't have another person to play with, many of the games can't really be played.
