I'm sure it has to do with the neglect of some collectors bidding. Alot of BIG TIME collectors probably already have most of the items that you speak of. I know I like to see some prices come down. As for the collecting part of things. I am now in it to keep what I got. (When it comes to the hard to find games.) I do feel for those guys who did shell out big bucks at some point only in turn to see some items decrease. It could be the holidays. Who really knows. I am glad to see that small time collectors like myself get something I never thought I could ever afford. I hope this does eventually turn to good after awhile and not turn sellers into haters by putting some outrageous price tags on everything they own. NO OFFENSE HOMER. Just speaking in general. I am afraid that this is what is going to happen though in order to bring things back to a level satisfying those BIG TIME sellers.

can't go any lower than 25.

That's a good idea.

Nah, I'd like an original. Just a cart. I really don't care to much about the box, Manuals, or any special flyers that came with it. Takes up too much space. I like to keep things condensed. Well if you really want one, here is a loose cart that someone has up for auction right now. http://cgi.ebay.com/Extremely-Rare-Atari-2...1QQcmdZViewItem I stretched it another 25 bucks. I GOT ONE!!!!!!!! Thanks, I've been watching it. Just waiting to see how high it gets. Hopefully not to high. I'm looking at around the $150 or so range. After that I've got some explaining to do. If you know what I mean.SSHHHHH. Congrats on the purchase. $173.35 That is the lowest price I have seen this game go for in good condition. You know 6 years ago this game loose in the same condition would of gone for $500 easy. Thanx. I was a little surprised myself. WOO HOO!!!!!!

$$$$$$$$$$$$.............I think he's a little overzealous. Is this for real or is he just braggin.

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like I said, their prices are from 1998. Prices on things were very different back then and nobody really knew what was crazy rare back then...some stuff was overpriced and some was highly underpriced. Video Life was not considered the holy grail it is now. Go back and read old posts from years back on RGVC and see what prices people were offering for stuff back then. Agreed!

PM sent.

Well said. I think it would be better to have some documentation if you are willing to spend that much on one game. On the other hand there are quite a few impulse buyers that just can't wait. I'm kinda in between. I can wait if I wanted to but usually I don't. I waited on this one until next time. I wonder if he might have some documentation on this cart. If not then a shielded PCB it is. I do believe it is authentic though. The year of the copyright on the board was C 78. That's the 4k board they used. Hard to fake that one.

Whew, I was wondering about that.

I was so tempted. I just don't have it right now. I gotta get rid of some stuff first. I hope he puts it on again soon. I should be able to possibly bid. Don't know though. Bills eat me up. X-mas is comin. Maybe if he puts it on I'll ask this to be my X-mas Gift...................There's an idea. I too was very surprised it didn't sell. Maybe some just didn't think it was a REAL Cart. Looked real to me. Only one Prom, not your usual two 4k eprom board for your typical repro's.

http://www.best-electronics-ca.com/ Peace You guys.....Anyhow I got to the fourth building. I just don't have much more in me to get any farther. Tougher than I thought. Well...I guess life ain't easy either. PEACE

First and foremost. I would read as much about the games and keep an eye on the forums to see what might be worth your while when purchasing. Boxed games, if you are willing to spend more, manual with game, might spend a litlte more, Cart only is the way to go for me. For others that might not be thier cup of tea but I find it easier to just look for the cart. This can be a very expensive hobby or be a very informational hobby. Some don't even collect hard to get games. They sure know what it's worth and how it plays though. Find yourself a STELLA atari emulator and get to know the various games. Lot's of titles to learn. Just don't dig too deep at first, unless your pockets are DEEP!

Sounds like a challenge. I think you could pull it off.

Just looking for a good decent copy. PM me with some stuff. On a buying spree!!!!!!

FOUND ANOTHER RUBIK'S CUBE YESTERDAY AT THE FLEA MARKET!!!!!!!!!!!! AWESOME!! 5 BUCKS! MAN, IT DOESN"T GET ANY BETTER! Well I guess it could!

I finally broke it out and got to the third building. Get's a little tiresome after that. Think I need to fix my controller now. Anybody got a joystick PCB? Wore mine out!!!!!!!!!

All this hype is gotting me wanting a cart now. DROOL.........

I GOT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT A MESS. I to understand what has transpired. When exactly did you find out after you paid her that it had been sold to someone else. There is such a thing as a stop payment if you do it within 24 hrs. of payment. I had a similar problem once. They decided that they didn't get enough for what they sold. Tried to ask for more money. I stopped payment and they got nothing. They are gone of eBay now thankfully. I feel you man. Good luck!

Awesome find. I guess I need to look a little harder.

I think there were also Air Raid loose, Mai 13 2006, $1520 and Air Raid loose, October 10 2004, $2500 Drool.........I tried but to no evail!!!!!!!!!!!!!
