Price Check - X-man PAL Atari 2600 - What's a loose cart worth?

[guy767]

Hello. My apologies if I posted this in the wrong forums but I was wondering what's a loose excellent condition PAL version of X-man for the Atari 2600 worth?

 

I bought this on eBay from a European seller hoping that it was NTSC version. I know, pretty stupid but the price was so low I figured that it was worth a shot. It's PAL though (Picture Black&White with some static on a USA console) and not NTSC as I hoped.

 

I know the NTSC version is ultra rare but I’m not sure of the rarity or worth of the PAL version. Any advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I own NTSC one Boxed, PAL one Boxed, loosed cartridges..hmmm for a pal around 25 to 50 euros max (depends on if it's good cosmetic condition) !

Maybe $30.

Sigh, I paid a little over $40 shipped so I guess I broke even...

 

I regret being so impulsive to make the purchase but the rarity of the NTSC version just compelled me to buy it; it was a gamble and I lost.

 

I did ask the seller if it was PAL or NTSC though before biding so I don't feel like a complete idiot. Seller told he wasn’t sure as his console can play both regions fine. He really did a remarkable job though and the game arrived in a bout 5 days from the Netherlands to Maine USA. I think I have to man up and bask in the consequences of my stupidity lol.

 

Well, thanks pongbeat and Stan for the price quotes; it's appreciated. At least I have quite a novelty piece that I can show off to fellow collectors. Who knows, in a few year the game could go up in value and I will become filthy rich ROTFLOL
