Unfortunately, everything you listed is common (maybe a few dollars to a high of $10 if they are mint sealed) with the exception of a few of the 7800 titles like Commando, Fatal Run, Ninja Golf, Alien Brigade and Impossible Mission that go for anywhere from between $25 and $100 or so sealed mint. Pictures would be helpful as condition is everything on these games. Edited January 13, 2015 by bojay1997 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zwackery Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Well, the 32-in-1 and a few others kind of makes it weird with what I'm going to say, but the mix of those boxed carts sounds very similar to a popular warehouse find that was sold on the internet back in 1994. I have the details on another system, but I know because I bought one set back then. It's actually how I started collecting for the 7800. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zwackery Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I too immediately thought of O'Sheas. Could have also gotten them or some through the Radio Shack/Telegames catalog back then. Hmmm, I don't think it was O'Sheas. (I did buy from them later.) This was a deal that you got a 7800 NIB and a big white box full of NOS 2600 & 7800 titles. IIRC it was pretty cheap for the package. When I called the guy to order a set, his response was "You just want one?!?" But I was just collecting for myself. I'm pretty sure it appeared in rec.games.video.classic in fall 1994. It was like an early Xmas that year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(think I wasn't a regular member of r.g.v.c. until '95/'96) Yes, a hell of a deal, and you can see the guy was kind of incredulous that I only wanted one set.

Tron Unit Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Well I picked up a bunch of mint-in-box unopened games for $10-$15 each. Best-Electronics bought out all of Atari's inventory when they went bankrupt in the late 80's. Where else you going to find them in that condition for those prices?
