I'm curious why you decided that my post about a free Atari 2600 E.T. remix game should be removed from the Facebook group. I don't see anything outside the scope of the Facebook group in posting this. Oh well. Not a big deal. Have a good weekend!

Ah, no worries and no rush! It can wait. I was just curious. Thanks!

Hi! Is the AtariAge Facebook group actively moderated? I found it and joined. However, since I'm a new member, all of my comments/posts are waiting for moderator/admin approval. It's been a couple days so I'm just wondering if someone is still actively moderating this. Thanks!

More new stuff up including rare Intellivision games (Turbo CIB, Truckin' CIB, Sewer Sam CIB, etc.), rare 5200 games (Zone Ranger, K-Razy Shootout, Star Wars: Return of the Jedi Death Star Battle, etc.) and sealed and CIB 7800 games (Scrapyard Dog, Ballblazer, Touchdown Football, etc.). https://www.ebay.com/usr/mlewandowski00 Thanks for looking!

Bump. I updated the original post to remove sold games and dropped the prices on EVERYTHING remaining. I'll leave this up for another week or two before selling what is left on eBay. Contact me if you see anything that you want. Thanks!

Bump. Updated the original post and removed sold games. I'm now selling the 5200 games individually. Lots of rare stuff that is well below eBay or PriceCharting prices. Contact me if you're interested in anything. Thanks!

Speaking of sentimental, one of the best moments I had recently was firing up an Atari 2600 Jr. (my FIRST game system!) and playing Yars' Revenge (one of my first games and still my all-time favorite VCS game). Selling my collection has let me reconnect to a lot of these games that I honestly have had in boxes for the last half decade. Testing carts, cleaning labels, looking through manuals and catalogs, researching the current collector market - it's all been a great way to engage with a collection that I spent years building.

Here are some close up pics of the games, manuals, and Wico joystick in the 5200 lot. 5200 lot of 11 games, 2 manuals, and joystick - $525.

I posted a bunch of Intellivision games for sale including titles like Turbo, Diner, Sewer Sam, Hover Force, Pac-Man, Worm Whomper, Truckin', Commando, and more. Some small lots and some individual games. Thanks for looking: https://www.ebay.com/usr/mlewandowski00

The Nintendo, and especially Mario, market is insanely high right now. Hundreds of thousands or even millions for a sealed and graded Mario game is not unrealistic (as weird as that sounds). https://www.theverge.com/2021/8/7/22614450/unopened-copy-super-mario-bros-sells-2-million-record I bet someone will indeed pay over 200K for that SMB3. And, yeah, it's a common game to find loose (like you, I have it), but a factory sealed copy of one of the most iconic titles in videogame history is another story. It's a little like what you see in trading cards. A 1952 Mickey Mantle isn't even close to being one of the rarest baseball cards out there. But when you mix scarcity with desirability (one of the most popular players ever) with an era where baseball cards were tossed in shoeboxes and inserted in bike tires, you get a ton of value for a high graded '52 Mantle: https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/34473632/1952-topps-mickey-mantle-card-sells-126-million-shattering-record

Hi! Lots of new auctions are live. Some small 2600 lots, some rare 5200 game lots, an Atari 2600 Jr., a Sears Video Arcade II, manuals/catalogs/documentation, CIB and sealed 7800 games. More here: https://www.ebay.com/usr/mlewandowski00 I have about 11 very rare 5200 games left that are NOT on eBay that I'm thinking of selling as a lot (Meteorites, K-razy Shootout, Frogger II, etc.). Are there any 5200 collectors who might be interested in buying a lot of rare games?

Many new auctions are now live on my eBay account. A lot of 4 game 2600 bundles (many with instructions), some solo 2600 games, a big Sears Tele-Games lot, some Activision patches, an NES lot with manuals, and more. Check it out: https://www.ebay.com/usr/mlewandowski00

This is good advice. I've been mulling this over for years and had talked myself into getting rid of everything, but, similar to what you're suggesting, my partner convinced me to keep my first 5 Atari games that I got when I was a kid (E.T., Defender, Pitfall!, Star Raiders, and Yar's Revenge). Otherwise, I'm moving to digital and emulation as I'll be living more minimally the next few years. It's a little sad to see stuff go, but I'm honestly excited to pass games on to other collectors. I would rather have someone playing or displaying the games I spent years collecting rather than having them sitting in bins and crates!

Hi all! After holding onto my collection for over 25 years, I'm finally letting it all go. I cut my collection in half over a decade ago, but now I'm unloading the rest as I prepare for another life change. I have lots of 2600/VCS content up on eBay now (stuff like Gremlins, Shuttle Orbiter, H.E.R.O., Double Dragon, Pitfall II, Miner 2049er, Scuba Diver, Track & Field, River Raid II, Cannon Man, CIB games, Xonox, Fox, US Games, Mythicon game lots, etc. just to name a few) with more coming in the next few months. Feel free to look: https://www.ebay.com/usr/mlewandowski00 I also have a lot of 5200, 7800, and Intellivision that will be coming soon as well. I'm curious, do people think I might have any success selling stuff on AtariAge? Or does anyone here have interest in larger game lots? Unloading games one at a time is taking forever! And, for anyone who remembers me from years ago, no, I don't have any prototypes anymore. They've all made it safely into the hands of other collectors! best, Matt
