Cobra Commander Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 It was a Stargunner($30-$50) from the wild in a trade, but I added a lot of stuff recently. Maybe Atari Video Cube($50-$80). These are guesses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cankerwurm Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Boulder Dash CIB. Glad I bought it when it was available at the AA store. I saw it at the PRGE 2014 for 250 bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhomaios Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 How much does a CIB Motorodeo go for these days? If not much, probably homebrew is my most valuable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I've got some conversation pieces, but I suppose the most interesting one is Lochjaw (with manual). That one is so well protected it would survive a natural disaster (not that I ever want to put it to the test). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Also my 16 in 1 from Atari Corp., especially with the 32 in1 label underneath I like to call things like this "anomalies." Like the Joust "p" label and Pole Positin'. Cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbeliever Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Unfortunately, nothing "special" is in my collection as far as rarities go. Just common carts, both boxed and loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassGuitari Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) How much does a CIB Motorodeo go for these days? If not much, probably homebrew is my most valuable. I bought new sealed copy just yesterday for $18. So...$18. I don't have anything mindblowingly rare (afaik), but I've got quite a few rare-ish items. Most valuable is probably my copy of Princess Rescue, but it's only loose w/ manual so maybe not. Go figure one of the few times I buy a homebrew, Nintendo issues a C&D. Otherwise, I don't know. What's a complete Magicard repro from Sunmark go for these days? My rarest 2600-compatible console is probably my Coleco Gemini. My rarest original cartridges are probably Boing!, Smurfs Save The Day (sans KidVid tapes unfortunately), Stargunner, Ram It, Demolition Herby, and Wall Ball. My rarest controller/accessory, is probably my Triga Command joystick. Geminis usually go for around $30-50 last time I checked, a bit more if there are controllers, y-cables (for the paddle functionality on the dual-purpose controllers), and carts. My R7s and R8s are probably only worth $30 a piece, tops. No clue on the Triga; I've never seen one for sale (apart from the one I bought ), but I've never looked either. I know they're rare but I doubt there's any demand for them (they're kinda shitty joysticks, actually). I don't know how many people collect controllers, either, but I feel like that would be the only kind of person who would pay more than a few bucks for a Triga.

BassGuitari Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I like to call things like this "anomalies." Like the Joust "p" label and Pole Positin'. Cool. Good old Atari Corp. Typos, misprints, and general weirdness galore! Even beyond the classics like "Pole Positn" and "Raiders Lost Ark," there's stuff like the Breakout reissue with the yellow background, copyright info reading "Atar Corp." [sic], and the '86 edition of Hangman, which breaks ALL the rules of Atari Inc./Corp. label conventions (weird fonts, weird alignments, weird everything...if you didn't know better, you'd think it was a bootleg or something). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassGuitari Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) I'll keep my eye out for Hangman. I've been on the lookout for a while, myself. I might have to settle for a repro though (it almost looks like a Hozer cart anyway!). Seems like these hardly ever turn up, and when one finally does surface, there will probably be a bidding war over it.

Andre81 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 What is your most valued piece and about how much is it worth? Also if you have multiple items worth $500+ please don't forget to post your address. Thanks 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigO Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) The thing I spent the most money on was my Harmony cartridge, so that's probably it. Out of 350-ish loose cartridges, I probably have a few games that are worth more than a pittance, but I don't know which ones they are. Panda Dice Puzzle? Atari Video Cube? [Edit]: Oh, wait "valued", not "valuable". My heavy 6'er. Worth? Not much. Edited December 9, 2014 by BigO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Edit]: Oh, wait "valued", not "valuable". My heavy 6'er. Worth? Not much. Totally read that wrong, too. In that case, if we're going with hardware, definitely the 7800 with s-video mod. How nice 2600 games look on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfAmongWolves Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Mine is without a doubt my sealed prototype of Parker Brothers The Incredible Hulk for the 2600. I had the good fortune of buying it in a small shop in Italy just before it went out of business. The shop owner told me it was real. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Zellers, boxed and complete. Only together are they whole... Zellers1.jpg You spent a long time getting those all together and I'm glad to see you still have them looking all bad ass like that and all If you ever come across another Inca Gold please LMK as I've not been able to find one still. Box, CIB, whatever. I'll piece it together. Again, sweet ass Zellers set my fellow Canuck. EDIT: You still got that boat load of Zellers label variants too?
