Ridenmy65 Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...1351385680#BID1 check out the lot I won. Look at the bottom right photo of games and tell me if you don't see something interesting. Angelo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 I'll bite... I see a WaterWorld among 71 other commons. $ 117.50 is kinda steep IMO, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooterb23 Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 Looks like you have a nice and shiny Waterworld game there, nice...pretty decent price for that lot as well. Congrats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATARIPITBULL Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 I paid $115.00 a year ago just for a copy of Waterworld, I think you got a great deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atarian7 Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 I look in game lots for those rare carts that might be hidden but the best i've found so far is miner 2049er. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 heheh...he also got the more rare Cooling looking label for Raiders of the Lost Ark that I think just got bumped up in rarity recently. Yeah...for $115 your getting quite a lot. I think you did well for the money as well. Decent Haul.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philflound Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 I think he did great for the price. Though I didn't need any of those games. I wouldn't have paid it. Congrats! Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridenmy65 Posted May 14, 2002 Author Share Posted May 14, 2002 Up until about a half hour before the end of the auction, it was only at 50 bucks. Now that would have been something. I only need like two games out of this lot. But even if I sell just about everything else back for 50 bucks then I really got a good deal for the waterworld. Thanks for the comments guys, I just had to share my success with my fellow gaming nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trey Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 Sure, anyone can lay out $100 on ebay and get a water world, tooth protectors, or whatever holy grail cart. But if you'd paid $0.50 at a yard sale for waterworld, that would be impressive. OK, I'm jealous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridenmy65 Posted May 15, 2002 Author Share Posted May 15, 2002 Believe me, I would much rather pay the 50 cent at the yard sale. But sometimes you have to break down and go the ebay way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 Nice hull I guess. But I think WaterWorld's rarity has been blown way out of proportion in the last couple of years. In my book it's no rarer than say Rubik's Cube or Chase the Chuckwagon. It's a good find, but when you see 3 or 4 a month on Ebay you've got to start to wonder baout it's Holy Grail status.

bcprs1 Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 I was also watching this auction from the beginning. I stopped when I saw it go over $100 though. At $50, I was hoping to chime in, but it was not to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze_ro Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 ... It's only later that we'll eventually find out that that unlabelled cartridge is a finished Thwocker prototype --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'm too old school. Back in the day before ebay, you actually had to go out to yard sales, flea malls, thrift stores with VCG list in hand ... and then that nice spring day you spot a box with joysticks hanging out, and river raid II, and smurfs save the day in the box, and what's this ... a glib? Oh praise ye o holy atari gods. A holy grail ... and the price tag says $4. Must not jump. Calmly get wallet ... What was I talking about? ... oh yeah, ebay collecting sucks.

I can understand that, but then, where is the challenge? Hunting them in the wild must be way more satisfying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
