Latest Bid (10/17): $275

 

-------------------------------------------------------

 

The time has come to sell the rest of my collection, starting with my copy of Boulder Dash for the 2600.  

 

I was lucky enough to be active on this board in 2011 and am the original owner of this game.  Each part of this lot is in mint condition and it includes everything that came with the game (pictures below):

 

Game

Box

Tray

Booklet

Poster

AA Pins

Gems

 

And, if provenance is important to you, I'll also include the original receipt that came with the game.

 

Here are my feedback threads:

Given the relative rarity of this game, I have decided to take bids via the AA PM:

 

- Bids will be accepted now through 10:00 PM EST on 10/28/18

- Serious bids only, please (no new accounts)

- I'll pay for shipping / insurance if winner is in the US ::  shipping & insurance will be added for a non-US winner

- Payment through PayPal

- To ensure the integrity of the bidding, at the close of the auction, I'll publish the username of the 2nd-highest bidder (but not their bid).  That way, you will be able to verify that the bidding was legit.

Wouldn't it be the most transparent to bid in the thread publicly?
It might make people more apt to bid too.

I'll update the OP with the latest bids as they come in and send every bidder updates as we get closer to the 28th.

I have Boulder Dash so I won’t be in on this bidding, but I am interested in your Magnavox.

That's a fair point - I want to make sure that everyone is comfortable with this process.  To that end, I'll publish the username of the 2nd-highest bidder (but not their bid) and the amount of the winning bid (but not their username) at the conclusion of the auction.  That way, the validity of the bidding could be verified if desired.

(plus the gems are super sparkly...  :-)
