NIAD Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 While Tapper, in all it's CIB glory with the poster style instructions, is a very hard CIB to come by.. $150 is a bit outrageous unless everything was in near mint condition. Even then, $150 would be the extreme high end after multiple potential bidders drove up the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coleconut Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Havent seen this label variation before. eBay Auction -- Item Number: 261011325640 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Havent seen this label variation before. eBay Auction -- Item Number: 261011325640 That one caught my eye as well. While it "COULD" be a CBS Electronics / eColeco reproduction, I would have to think that this is just someone's personal label creation and they burnt a prom and placed on a Coleco PCB and in a Coleco cart shell. Hard to say with 100% certainty, but it definetly isn't an official release.... me thinks? To any European members, did Xonox change the style of box or cart shell for their games compared to the US/Canadian releases? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+pboland Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Havent seen this label variation before. eBay Auction -- Item Number: 261011325640 I would guess that is a reproduction of some kind and here's why I say that. The print quality of that label is not very good. Yes I know it is not a good pic but I can see the print line in the label. The other thing that caught my eye was the water (or moisture) damage of the label. Only an inkjet label would smudge like that. That's just my two cents.

coleco_master Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I have one with the same label, Its a reproduction from ATARI2600 Worth $10.00! thats what i paid for mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zwackery Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Holy Schmidt!! I guess I got a good deal when I paid $24.99 for mine!!! eBay Auction -- Item Number: 251046064315 What people hang stuff out in the wind on BINs needs to be noted as such as it is often not reflective of fair market value. I remember when CIB Tapper would get you $80 easy as CV collecting revved up in the mid-2000s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColecoDan Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 It would still bring you 80 easy. nobody is going to pay that 150 price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zwackery Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 It would still bring you 80 easy. Ok, that's good to know. My impression was that the value had dropped off a bit as of late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RelliK111 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 WOW did the biding go crazy on this or am I missing something. I know its brand new, but a mint condition CIB goes for about $50 so why would a mint Brand New go for $200! eBay Auction -- Item Number: 390409696806 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Tutankham rarely shows up ANYWHERE for purchase, it's mint and sealed, there were 9 bidders overall that were driving the price up and 2 very serious bidders, possibly the last 2 bidders are getting close to completing their collection of original CV releases AND it's really a great game... one of my favorite CV games of all time.

RelliK111 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) Cool I just got a mint copy CIB for myself on Atari2600.com for $49 much better price than $200 I think. Edited April 29, 2012 by RelliK111 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Atari2600.com is always a great place to check for needed/wanted items and Jerry's rating system/scale and pricing are usually spot on. I check his site from time to time to see if he has added any new CV & ADAM stuff... especially when a rare item that I need shows up on eBay. As far as Rarity Lists, it's almost impossible to keep them up to date based on current market trends, so they should be used as a general guide/aid... especially for those newer to collecting for a particular system. I've even considering removing these ratings from the list I have been maintaining, but will probably just add a notice at the top that these ratings aren't continuously updated. It's more important, in my mind, to have a complete listing of everthing that was made for the CV & ADAM so that everyone knows what to look for.
