Was curious about this user so i looked him up....from the uk. You can tell by the fake case and cd label geez. definitley a jerk. here is the link to a recent transaction of his and the game. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=180138571799

Yes, he is. He was an official Atari employee, was the creative force behind BIWN, was involved in all aspects of development, and now is the sole owner of the rights to the game. Order the game from him only. I will

& AMEN! There's a fine line between collecting and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obsessive-com...nality_disorder And who are you saying has this disorder?? Never heard of it and never knew anyone that had it, although i do know someone that was an old friend of mine that should have had it because they had the dirtiest place i ever seen. crap on the floor, spider webs everywhere and stuff piled up so damn high you could barely make your way through. Anyway, collecting is NOT an obsession...it's a hobby that is fun and gives you something to do. There are some that are obsessed and can't help theirselves (which is not their fault if they can't help it) and there are those that know when to stop. Most people spend way way more than i do on this stuff. I'm not buying anything else right now again till middle of october. Then theres the freebie stuff that happens every year in this one town i live by where they throw alot of stuff like this at the curb. Last year, i found a complete Turbografx 16 with several games that way. Anyway, if you want to know what an example of someone who has a disorder such as the one you mentioned, check this link out. http://videogamecollectors.com/gallery/videogames I think "collecting" goes too far (becomes an obsession) when you lose sight of why you started in the first place. It's gone too far when you can't enjoy what you have, all that matters is acquiring more. And instead of actually using it, you just have tons of sealed boxes in a room, a closet, etc. I have just over 200 DVDs, but I have 'em because I watch 'em. I've seen some in DVD forums with five to 10 times that much. All they do is buy, and have stacks of unwatched DVDs. I have over 100 Transformers, but I bought 'em for a reason, and my buying of them has thankfully slowed. And like the DVDs, it's minuscule compared to "collectors" with thousands, who have invested equally much in dollars, and also do the "MISB" stuff and buy everything they can. I have every Atari game system, and hundreds of games in total, but I use the systems and play the games. I bought Battlesphere back in 2000. Should I have never opened it? Then what would have been the point in buying it? And why buy two copies of it, or any other game? Just to keep one sealed? It's a game, not an investment. Invest in a 401K, not a plastic cartridge. But, hey, it's just a long-winded way of saying - open those sealed games! - is my opinion. But do whatever makes you happy. i know. I usually dont approve of buying things i don't use but i just did it this time since i already have one i use. Its just for show that i'll put up on display. I would have to say that 9 1/2 out of 10, i use what i buy. I can't see how some people pay 2000 for a sealed 2600 just because it was the first. you know they ain't opening that one. But anyway, i kinda agree with you at some point cause i use 99% of what i get. The first Jag I got was a used one from a second hand store. IIRC, I bought a new Jag at the JagFest in Corfu, NY back in... geez, was it 98? Almost 10 years ago. The new system is the one I've used ever since. I still have the used one boxed up. With older systems, I like having two, so there's a backup in case something goes wrong. I have three good 2600s, two I bought new (a four toggle woodgrain and a junior). I now have two 5200s, an old four port and a two port with a new mobo. I only have one 7800 - nervous! Two Jags. One Jag CD. For the computers, I have an XEGS and an 800XL. But we all know how reliable these things are. I actually had to buy a second Dreamcast because my first one died! But... that boxes heavy sixer that sold on eBay for about $5,000... wow, I can't imagine paying that much for such a thing... but if I had it, I'd probably open it. I want to be able to see it, feel it and, yes, use it. Not just look at a box and have to imagine what's inside. Well i agree there. If " god forbid" Mine was to go, i'd definitely open the new one and say hell with it. I usually try to keep at least two of everything incase the unmentionable happens.....i have 5 working 2600's 2 jags, 2 dreamcasts, 2 colecovisions, 2 C64's, and soon to be 3 5200's I'm tempted to buy a new motherboard for my four port 5200 just because I can... lol. i had to buy one way back in 89'

Games were made to be played but what if they're not worth playing? What is collecting all about then? Some buy to collect. Some buy to collect AND play, and some buy just to play....everybody is different. Very Very true. I know there are plenty of people who play the games they collect but wont get rid of that certain "stinker" game, because its part of the collection even though they never play it. But whatever everyone does their own thing. I like to have 2 copies if possible. One to play, one to keep pristine. I have been known to tear the seal on a few games myself though. But if its like a sealed pac-man or something, leave it sealed. There are a billion copies loose that you can play. Its good to see a fellow collector and gamer who understands and sees things that way. I bought a brand new flashback 2 and figured hell, i'll leave this alone. Now i have to buy another one that i can take out and use. i do the same with some jaguar items, a collector never stops collecting I guess were obsessed.

Anytime!

Congratulations. Hope they work out for you.

Here are pics of the set........

Here are the pics of my new Jag lot. Also a close up of the jag pin that says "Get Bit at Booth #6030" Does anyone know how these came about? was for E3 or something?

Thanks for the warning! By the way, you sell the actual copy?

Oh brother, everyone's different. Some people kept their sunnyvale atari 2600 sealed in 1977. Why the hell they do that? Now look......$2000 for a game system?? Collecting isn't defined by an encyclopedia or dictionary as one thing. Its a hobby that most of us are into and has several different meanings and styles, For example, collecting to one person may be trying to get every 2600 cart ever made, for another, it might be trying to get 2 of everything so he can have complete copies sitting up on display and the others for actually using. To some people, everything is "meh" or whatever. The point is that we do this as a hobby and to just have fun.

Looking to trade or sell this for whatever i can get. I don't need it. Maybe someone else does? Also comes with marquee and owners manual.

I saw this video a few months ago. Pretty cool. I liked the tron game. That one would be nice to have. He had a few other good ones too.

???? Why so much? Because.. that's how much it was in my part of the world. I actually had the Super Famicom Street Fighter 2 which I bought for normal price. Then once the u.s. version came out I had to have it since it was in english of course. And since it was all the hype at the time, the stores that sold u.s. games were gouging. I didn't care. I wanted it . So, yeah... 99 bucks I remember when that game came out, i spent $70 at wal-mart for it. Bought it soon as it came out.....i was really into the Street Fighter games at the time. I miss the old days.

Update: Another sealed Jaguar just like mine just sold for $280 on ebay. I don't feel so bad now. Guess he was hungrier than i was.

Actually $125

If you're not going to use the system, keep it sealed. If you're not going to play the games, keep them sealed. I'm not a collector of sealed stuff at all myself either, but I always like to keep some around because it's good to have in your collection and it makes good trade bait as well. You can't beat new, factory sealed - even if all you have is a sealed 2600 E.T., someone will always buy it. Although in 20 years, there'll still probably be a surplus of those. I agree. Theres no since in opening them really if your not going to use them or don't need to. Just seems nice to have around. I don't really collect for new sealed items but once in awhile i might pick something like that up. I usually just go for the complete MIB items.
