BILLYonaire Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) This will go for a lot more than $200 too. That's for sure. I'd like it but I'd be reminded that I'm out of pocket $200 at the very least every time I see it. I'd rather get a system or accessories I need. You don't become a BILLYonaire by buying $200 games That's what I'm talking about! Edited March 1, 2015 by BILLYonaire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scalpel Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) Regardless of rarity and what I can afford, I refuse to pay $200 for a game cartridge. Why not ? Is not only a game cart, it's CIB ^^ Anyway, it's 4-Tris Edited March 1, 2015 by scalpel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's important to point out that it's complete and everything is in mint condition. I actually checked the listing before I commented but I misspoke.

+JasonlikesINTV Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 It's still a lot of money to spend on a video game. Cheaper than Spiker, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather get a system or accessories I need. I hear people say this a lot but what happens when you get all the cheaper games, systems and accessories you needed, but you still have $200+ to spend? Do you quit collecting or go for the expensive stuff? Just saying, a lot of people paying big bucks for this might not need much else. Still cant believe I sold mine for $50 here in the marketplace, lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_Bill Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Regardless of rarity and what I can afford, I refuse to pay $200 for a game cartridge. Agreed! Especially something that's not an original release. Don't care if it's the last thing I need to complete me, I just refuse to pay that kind of money for single items.

freewheel Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) I'd rather see our collective money pooled for a re-release of this. I don't know why, but something irks me about watching speculators skim a profit when the creator could be making it instead. At least when it comes to stuff that's, you know, actually recent and could conceivably still be in production. I'm pretty sure Spiker isn't about to be re-released CIB anytime soon. And yeah, I realize it's a mostly irrational distinction. I guess we'll have to wait till Blix commands $1000 before more people will agree with me Edited March 2, 2015 by freeweed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTLGUY Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 It makes no sense whatsoever to start bidding on an item before the last few minutes, even seconds. Why are people making things go up and up.

Why are people making things go up and up. If people were more patient and all bid at last minute price would be so much lower... Actually if people would just bid the highest they're willing to pay, and stop trying to out-guess the system and its players, prices would end up exactly where they should be. People forgot how auctions work once Ebay came around. Auctions got turned into video games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are people making things go up and up. If people were more patient and all bid at last minute price would be so much lower...I mostly agree with this and that's how I bid...especially on rare items. I suppose there are possibly some psychological mind games you can play by bidding early, but in my experience you just end up bidding it up. As people see the price climb, their predator instinct kicks in and they up their max to ensure a win. It takes discipline to stick to your original max and plenty of bidders lack it. This was never going to sell for $200, though According to a poll I did a year ago, there were 22 people on AA willing to pay $100+ for a CIB 4-Tris with 10 of those people willing to pay $200 or more.

Why are people making things go up and up. If people were more patient and all bid at last minute price would be so much lower... Yeah, I go without computer access for days at a time so when I see something I want a bid is placed immediately Another reason it doesn't hurt to bid is if the seller sees no bids yet and days have passed they are likely to add a BIN or accept a side deal/etc.. Thats more for sellers that don't understand all the action happens in the last few minutes but it happens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) Two advantages if placing a small bid early: 1. Sometimes it invalidates the higher 'Buy It Now' option. 2. Reduces the likelihood of a seller ending a bidless auction early for a side deal. Edit: Oops, just realized I basically repeated what Crazy Climber said.

+JasonlikesINTV Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 isn't the ROM freely available? Couple of flashcarts on the horizon... That's my hope. I'm in around $150-175 max on 4-Tris, so this one is already out of my range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
