Rev Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 The very rare game Blix is for sale over on ePay. (not mine) This should be a fun auction to watch! eBay Auction -- Item Number: 223248098012 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DZ-Jay Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 I wonder if someone is reviving that thing in preparation of making a re-release. It's been out of circulation for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+stupus Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 The listing is by Michael Thomasson, who released the game. I guess he kept 2 and this is 1 of the 2 he kept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or ... like I mentioned above, he is preparing to re-release it and is trying to maximize the take before he floods the market and dilutes the price. -dZ.

+intellivotion Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 I'd be quite surprised if GDG will want to mess with the Inty community again with a new release after the Blix Intellidrama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I'm not arguing that. It would make sense to sell your spare copy before you rerelease. Either way he will do well selling it now....probably make more than he did on the other 28 lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+intvsteve Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Intellivotion and I talked with Michael Tommasson two or three years ago at PRGE about "The Blix Incident". At the time he was still adamantly stating he was going to stay out of releasing anything for Intellivision again. The vitriol and accusations that the release unleashed seemed to have genuinely shocked him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, sure, but if a new release of Blix pops up in the next few months, what should we take away from this? I'm open to being wrong ...

mr_me Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 How long should someone wait after selling their own copy before making new copies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DZ-Jay Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 How long should someone wait after selling their own copy before making new copies? Ah, so if a new Blix comes out next week, it's purely coincidental, and not an attempt to maximize their take and profiting from an information imbalance. I guess that could be the case. Sure.

mr_me Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 What if they wait twelve months; or six months. Is that okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DZ-Jay Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 What if they wait twelve months; or six months. Is that okay. Nice try. I don't think you can reduce all human interactions and motivations to mere formulae. I suppose that if a person already knows that a re-release is imminent, whether in a day, a week, or a year; taking advantage of the collector and speculator market by exploiting insight knowledge is still distasteful, no matter how well it is planned to make it look coincidental. Again, it was only speculation on my part. I do not know if a re-release is forthcoming. It just occurred to me that it could be something that someone could do. dZ.

+JasonlikesINTV Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 The idea of him releasing another version of Blix is pure speculation (unless anyone has some insider info) and he started the bidding low enough that 7 people felt comfortable outbidding each other on it so far. It might be a bit early for the pitchforks and torches. He might just be a guy selling a game. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
