Atari_Bill Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 So I found a CIB copy of Sector Alpha this morning on eBay and did the buy it now. Not cheap (at least for me), but it was the last Spectravision title I still needed and I hardly ever see it CIB it seems. I know an empty box sold for $188 alone not that long ago. Is $130 a fair price for a CIB or did I overpay? Either way, it's one more closer to completion which is now around 6 to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIAD Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 I'd say you did very well for yourself at $130 especially if the CIB is in good condition (too lazy to search for it on eBay right now to view the pics) seeing as this title comes up for auction less and less now-a-days... in fact, it rarely shows up in CIB form anywhere! I just checked what I paid for my CIB about 3 or 4 years ago and let me say, "YOU DID VERY GOOD FOR YOURSELF". The only down side is that the cartridge PCB was improperly modded by Spectravision during manufacturing and the game doesn't play properly as documented by Ikrananka in his cartridge rom dump thread.

Atari_Bill Posted September 22, 2015 Author Share Posted September 22, 2015 Everything looked very nice in the pics. You probably couldn't say mint, but Near mint quite possibly. The box only had a small flaw on the back from what I recall. I struggled with whether to buy or not. I never spend more than 100 on anything but I thought it might be a decent deal. I couldn't find any other CIB sales in recent history and I knew the empty mint box had gone for 188 so I pulled the trigger. I can't recall at the moment what I'm still missing, but I do know Super sketch Wiz math 2 of the Fisher Price Titles 2 Xonox titles Disclaimer: my CV stuff isn't all CIB. I try to get CIB where I can, but a good portion is not. Thanks for the feedback! Looking forward to getting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIAD Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 2 out of 6 = FAIL! HEHE In baseball that would mean you are batting .333, which would mean a big fat contract of about $25million a year! That's definetely not a FAIL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaymiester Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) In ColecoVision Baseball I'm batting 1000! Got my name on a never released, Special Edition box with your name next to mine in the credits......my MOST prized CV possession!! Now I know how Steve Martin felt in "The Jerk" when he discovered he was somebody.... because his name was in the Phone Book! Please disregard any typo's or lack of sentence structure....It's a side effect of Makers Mark.

Got my name on a never released, Special Edition box with your name next to mine in the credits......my MOST prized CV possession!Obviously you're not going up against a pitcher of my quality! :grin You'd be batting .000 seeing as I know a pitch that can not be hit. Anyway, that box project was a fun one to work on and it's nice to have both versions (CollectorVision's is the other) as all bases are covered with the styles that Coleco might have used... although i'm pretty confident they would have gone with the style we used. You are "one wild and crazy guy". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw this and almost got it myself but it was too much for me (right now)...I'd say its a good deal though even though I couldn't afford it LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My initial goal is to finish the loose carts. I'm only around the 50% mark on CIB. Taking a look at my list, it looks like I'm actually at 8 away: Super Sketch Wiz Math Dance Fantasy Memory Manor Threshold Motocross / Tomarc Motocross Robin Hood / Lancelot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
