  1. Bought the Atari Hot Wheels cars from him and he thru in a GB Advance case and adapter. Very cool.

     

    Super fast shipping and great communication. Also, excellent packing of the merchandise.

     

    Thank you Jim.


  2. Yeah, I still remember the first time I saw games locked up and thought wtf? (sms and nes) they had a card you could look at and bring to the counter which was insanely annoying.

     

    That was annoying because it took the customer service aspect out of the picture. Back until 1983, I bought 2600 games from a shop called Video Connection. They would call me when they got a new game in and I always got to "test drive" any game before I purchased it.

  3. Forgive my ignorance but which boxes has cpuwiz done i only know him for being a well....cpuwiz id love to see his artwork designs also. there are some seriously talented people in this community

     

    He did Powerlords, I believe the Wonder007 projects (Turbo, Charlie Brown, etc.), and countless personal projects. Trust me he and his wife, ShyOne, do fantastic work all around.

     

    And besides that, they are wonderful people.

    As I mentioned above, so many people use the LISTING price for items as the starting price for selling their own items that yes, it does hurt others when this occurs. Listing prices begin to translate into listing prices for multiple others which in turn drives prices up over time. It doesn't matter if it sells or not it is damaging to the hobby as a whole.

     

    I always look at the sold prices on Ebay and go from there. You have to keep in mind that this is only a hobby, so you don't have to buy something if you feel it's overpriced. I'm not defending the resellers but we are not talking about life or death here either.


  5. Sure, I do think that prices of 2600 CIB games do fluctuate WITH the stock market. When the economy is good or the indicators of the economy are strong, then the games are more expensive and people definitely will pay more. Example is 2004-2006 period when prices on CIB games went through the roof because the economy was doing so well. During that period I overpaid for a CIB Quadrun because I could at the time and the price didn't matter. Today I can buy the same CIB game for 50-75% of what I paid back then.


  6. If the seller is happy with the price they get, then it is no one's business.

     

    Just because a reseller lists something they just bought for 3x - 5x their purchase price, that does not necessarily mean that they will sell that item.

     

    Usually they price themselves out of the market.

     

    Example: I sold three Panda games to someone for $500. Weeks later I received a few PMs that they were listed on Ebay for outrageous prices.

     

    A boxed Exocet for $799?!? This was in August and they are still on Ebay.

     

    On a happier note, I took the $500 and bought the entire collection of Panda boxes for around $540.

  7. Marc is the man and one of the two greatest box makers (CPUWIZ being the other one).

     

    A good part of my boxed collection is from Marc. I especially like when he also publishes a manual with the box.

     

    Don't forget all the repros he does for unreleased games. He is not just a box maker.

     

    Thank you Marc!


  8. If I didn't have these already, I would be all over this.

    These games are very hard to find boxed.

    Good luck with the sale Ntavio.

     

    Thanks atari181.

     

    I forgot to post the shipping costs: FREE SHIPPING anywhere in the continental U.S.


  9. I have grown frustrated at the difficulty of collecting CIB Panda games so instead I'm going to focus my efforts elsewhere.

     

    The titles are Scuba Diver, Exocet, and Dice Puzzle. All are in excellent shape except Exocet which has creases in the box but it is sealed.

     

    All have been stored in box protectors which is included in the purchase price.

     

    I need $200 per game or $500 for the lot of three games. Paypal is preferred and I will pack the games in the way I would want them shipped. US Buyers only please.

     

    So upgrade your collection or start a Panda collection. :thumbsup:

     

    PM me if you need additional pics or ask any questions.

     

    I have been an Atariage member since 2002 and have conducted business with many of the heavy hitters on the site.

     

    Thank you.
