    Common, rare...doesn't matter. Just looking for nice condition boxed/complete NTSC games for the Atari 2600. Any publishers, also. I enjoy playing them, so they don't have to be sealed...just trying to avoid paying eBay prices for stuff you guys might have extras of. I don't have many so far (about 25) so any and all will be welcomed.

     

    Thanks in advance for any offers.

     

    Peace,

    Here's a link to the stuff :

    I still have the boxed game lots up with the reserves, but if I don't get offers that satisfy me, I'll be listing all those games individually immediately afterward, also with $1.00 opening bids and no reserves.

     

    I'll also be listing about 4-5 different 2600 systems, some with large lots of loose games, and some with starter lots of around 20 games. Game rarities will be from 1 to 5 on the loose carts. $1.00 opening bids and no reserves from here on out, as my move date is now set at August 4th and I need this stuff gone. :D

     

    Peace,

    If these auctions don't sell for near what I'd like, then I'll be listing all of these individually with no reserves. However, I would like to know what y'all think these are actually worth. I'm not talking about finding them 'in the wild' but rather selling them to collectors that need them.

     

    Here is a link to my auctions. Of course I'm only asking opinions on the Atari stuff. ;)

    I think Chip is smoking something. I doubt anyone will buy the huge lots of games for a few hundred dollars. And some of the other single games are way overpriced. I remember picking up each Froggo game shrinkwrapped for like $6.00 each. $30.00. Bahah. Oh, well. It's your waste of money listing these things and who knows? You may get a loon to pay what you're asking.

    That's fine if you doubt it, Phil, but I have to try it anyway. Getting a house is expensive, and getting new furniture for that house is expensive. Any iota of extra money I can get is what I need.

     

    Plus, I don't price these auctions in the hopes that someone like yourself, or Albert, or Atari Pitbull, or *any* of the regulars around these boards will say, "Hey, look at all that stuff! I've gotta get me them games 'cause they're less than $15 each, BOXED!" No, I try and get the person that hasn't started a collection, doesn't know about the online community, and wants some nostalgia when they have money to burn.

     

    On the Froggo game, I based it on the rarity guide here at Atari Age and nothing else. A rarity 4 game boxed and complete I can try and get $30 for. And hey, it's just the reserve price, anyway...if I got $20 for it and the auction ended, I can sell it for that much. You don't *have* to sell an item if it doesn't meet the reserve, but you *can* sell it if you want to.

     

    I've already made $600 on my "reserve price loon-catching" auctions this week, all from Buy It Nows, so I must be smoking something of excellent quality...

     

    :D

    I've got probably another 100 boxed games I'm going to be auctioning, consisting of Atari, Imagic, and Activision, as well as about 7 systems with around 175 loose carts. I'll also have clothes, videos, some reef-keeping supplies & equipment, posters, and anything else I don't want to move at the end of the month when I get my house (hooray!).

     

    Any patronage and advice is certainly welcomed.

     

    Thanks,

    Hi people...

     

    I'm going to be listing the following on eBay, but I'm not sure if I should list it all as one auction or list it separate. I'm also not sure what to set the reserve at (so I can keep the Buy It Now active until the close of the auction).

     

    Here's what I've got :

     

    Colecovision boxed - http://home.twcny.rr.com/rael/auctions/col...olecovision.jpg

     

    Expansion #1 boxed - http://home.twcny.rr.com/rael/auctions/col...oexpansion1.jpg

     

    Expansion #2 boxed - http://home.twcny.rr.com/rael/auctions/col...oexpansion2.jpg

     

    Roller Controller boxed - http://home.twcny.rr.com/rael/auctions/col...olecoroller.jpg

     

    14 games w/ instructions - http://home.twcny.rr.com/rael/auctions/colecogames.jpg

     

    Everything works, all with original packaging and manuals (except for the games, which just have manuals).

     

    Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

     

    Peace,

    I was kinda feeling the same way about Waterworld. Here I am, back collecting for only the past three weeks, and there have been two loose and two boxed examples on eBay. Some of the rarer games are now just 'popular rares' and 'price-wise rares' but don't seem to really be that rare. Maybe in the wild, but certainly not on eBay.

     

    Peace,

    Congrats, Pitbull! I had the high bid at $201, and decided not to pursue it further. I still have a great many common boxed games to go, and figured I'd be better off putting that $200 into my Best Electronics order for boxed games...

     

    Again, great job and congrats!

     

    Peace,

    Hey, how about those of us who posted about wanting boxed games three weeks ago???

     

     

     

    I'll have my boxed cart trade list up in about a week, once I get everything I've recently acquired sorted through. Should be about 25 boxed/complete titles, in varying conditions, and all from Atari, Activision, or Imagic.

     

    Peace,

    I'm looking for a boxed Road Runner, Polo, and Okie Dokie. I'm not even sure if they're all currently offered, because I did read about the 'special' circumstances in which they were released and there was no info on how to obtain the carts after the events they were released at.

     

    Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

     

    Peace,

    Par for the course so far with me...was bidding on some wonderfully minty boxed games and was outbid with 13 seconds left, entered in a higher bid, and then was outbid with 2 seconds left...three consecutive times.

     

     

     

    However, I'm not really mad...I've gotten some fantastic stuff in the last two weeks. I shant complain much...

     

     

     

    Peace,

    Well, I hit my max this month, my first month back collecting. I'm at around $900 if everything stays the same in the current eBay crop of carts I'm bidding on.

     

    However, like others, I also sell a lot of non-Atari stuff on eBay, and that will probably total up around $1,700 this month when I'm done.

     

    Peace,
