high voltage Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) I need to buy Atari VCS games, and so I am thinking of selling Gorf, blue DVD case edition but with original poster. The posters were only included with the white DVD case, but some found its way to the blue DVD case, which makes it kinda rarer. Apparently, some posters were left over and packed with the blue DVD box. There's a topic about it here in Jag forum. $800, free worldwide shipping. Case in excellent condition, CD in excellent condition, instructions have the usual flaking at the fold, happens to all Gorf instructions, Poster is in excellent condition.

kevincal Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 The special edition white case is not worth anywhere near 800.......... Blue case edition is worth $400 at the most, white case $600 at the most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerosquare Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Great, that's slightly cheaper than an actual Gorf arcade cabinet. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racerx Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Uh, I spent $375 for my cab. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Uh, I spent $375 for my cab. It probably costs a lot more to obtain one in France, versus the USA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racerx Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 It probably costs a lot more to obtain one in France, versus the USA. Ah, likely true. Didn't think of that. At any rate, I'm not the price police but I was hoping the $800 was a typo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racerx Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 LOL, the special releases are also numbered, Mr. Smartypants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+LS650 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I guess it's worth what someone is willing to pay for it: $100, $800, whatever. Personally I would not pay a 3-digit price for a copy of Gorf, but I imagine there are some people who would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyper_Eye Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 That's about $760 more than I'd like to pay for it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high voltage Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) OK just weirdos replying here, off to ebay it goes. Edited July 19, 2014 by high voltage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racerx Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Good luck. I'm calling $275. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDork3000 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Anyone willing to pay more than $50 for this needs to have their head examined. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyper_Eye Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Generally when someone comes in here to sell an item I assume they want to sell to an actual Jaguar enthusiast and that they aren't looking to scalp them. I don't know why you posted it in here thinking someone would seriously consider paying that ridiculous price. Ebay is exactly what you want. You might get lucky and some idiot will pay quite a bit more than it is worth but I think the price you are asking is a long shot. Pretty much everyone here will see it though as we all keep tabs on the Jaguar related eBay auctions. I'd say good luck but I think it will be a sad state if that Gorf sells for 50% of what you are asking. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Dangerous Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 It just went for like 220 on eBay. 800? What are you smoking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 OK just weirdos replying here, off to ebay it goes. Not wanting to pay $800 for a piece of plastic makes us weird. Gotcha. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevincal Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 $800 for a new Battlesphere or BS: Gold maybe. But not a used Gorf. $400 if you are super lucky. Someone might pay $400 buy it now eventually. If auctioned, probably $250-$350. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+CyranoJ Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Those cheap CD-R's from that time era won't last much longer. This is hardly an investment. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+LS650 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Not to mention the fact that the number of collectors who have a working JagCD, don't already have a copy of Gorf, AND are willing to pay $800 for it is a relatively small number.

NeoGeoNinja Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 That's about $760 more than I'd like to pay for it. It's $200 less than I'd like to pay for it. I'll have to wait for it to go up in price before I'm willing to buy it. The more ridiculous and unrealistic the price, the better... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Those cheap CD-R's from that time era won't last much longer. This is hardly an investment. I have CD-Rs I burned in 1999 on a 4x burner that still read fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I have CD-Rs I burned in 1999 on a 4x burner that still read fine. But is it a 64bit CD-R? I think the promised data retention, that was given at the time, was 10 years. Anything beyond that is pure manufacturer win (E.G. TDK, HP, Sony, whatever) and stress (burned, but not used a lot). 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I also have some DVD-Rs from 2005 (unused) that fail burn verification almost every time. Rolls dice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion_ Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) Gorf is included along with other homebrew games such as painter, jagmania and jagtris, in the BJL rom I soldered in my Jaguar, so no need of cd or cartridge, it's built in =) It seems that gorf and painter was public domain back then, so you can find them easily on the internet.
