He is definitely the guy (or at least one of the guys) that has the cases of sealed Motorodeo's and Ikari Warrior's. I have bought a couple of things from him, and he seems to be an honest guy. I think he puts 20-30 working days because it can take that long, but the 2 times I bought from him it took less than 2 weeks.

Good deal! Alot less than I paid for mine. Ciao I got pretty lucky. Poor item description on the Water Ski lot. It didn't say 7800 anywhere in the title or description, and it was disguised with a bunch of 2600 Froggo titles.

Where are you located. If local pickup were an option it might be more feasible for some.

Don't quote me on that. I really don't know much about what came out of Brazil. I just know a lot of it is NTSC.

Tron is a Brazillian company, so those games should probably be NTSC.

It looks like JerryG, aka Atari2600.com once owned it. It is most likely the real thing. Well after doing a little research on Jerry G, it appears that many collectors believe that he "authenticated" bad protos. Apparently he sold "protos" similar to the ones that Best Electronics sold, which weren't even really protos. They were just left over chips shoved into new cartridges.

No shipping to US?

I was wondering the same thing. I also wonder how much of that stuff is PAL. It looks like the most of it is PAL. Which makes it all the more attractive to us Europeans, so i cant understand why the seller would go down the Western Union route for payment - surely Paypal is easier and would therefor get more bids for the auctions... Some people don't understand how the pros outweigh the cons when it comes to accepting paypal. The thought process is that with PayPal the seller pays the fees, but with Western Union the buyer pays the fees. They can't grasp the concept that they will have about 1000% more people willing to bid on an auction with paypal, therefore (most likely) driving the price up far enough to cover any fees. That or they have had an unpleasant experience with paypal, which could very well be the case.

What era are we talking about here? Chu Chu Rocket for DC is pretty unique, and extremely fun if you have 3 friends around.

Sniping can never make an item go for higher. That is if the alternative to sniping was just putting in a bid for the same amount as the snipe. Sniping gives non-snipers no time to react if the get outbid, and if they didn't put in their true max bid originally then the item will go for less. I got a NIB Water Ski in a lot of about 15 boxed games for like $30. I have gotten 2 NIB Double Dragons this month for about $20 each.

I remember that as well. I also remember that it didn't work for them and they dropped the price to $0.05. I actually considered buying enough of them to build a coffee table with.

That is definitely Electrocop. Why would they have Robocop in wierd futuristic alien-looking levels? That doesn't make much sense to me. Those levels are way to similar to that of Electrocop. It is pretty obvious that the Electrocop took ideas from many Sci-fi movies, and I always thought that some of the characters were heavily based on the looks of Robocop characters. Oh, and I don't remember any huge evil criminal brain in Robocop.

I am interested to see the answers to this. I have always wondered how many people actually store CIB games with the game and instructions in the box. I am with you, I the cart and instructions separate from the box. I also think easy access to game without messing with 30 year old boxes is important. As for what to do with all of those boxes, a crap load of shelves. A bookcase could definitely do it, but it isn't your only option.

PM sent.

Cool. Thanks. Did you take a spill and land on top of that Sentinel?

Do any of these come with a box of any kind?
