  1. eBay Auction -- Item Number: 130194852298

     

    $718.88 for a loose River Patrol...purchased by some guy who just bought about $2k worth of stuff from McGrail. Looks like someone's already spent their tax refund. :!:

    WOW someone hook this guy up with me I am ready to sell now! I have some stash for him that he cant pass on. I would think if this guy is spending this much on games he does not have to wait for a refund!


  2. You don't have to collect both kinds.

    Who says? I collect both but I admit I have a problem! :cool:

     

    Yes the later release M-network boxes by INTV have white lines on the boxes thats the easy way you can tell.

     

    Easy? They are EXTREMELY tough to spot on ebay, since camera flash can distort the M-Network boxes to look like they have white lines instead of gray lines. Personally, I think the INTV series is more challenging to complete than Xonox boxes. I have heard a couple collectors have all Xonox boxes, but I don't think I have ever seen nor heard rumor of a Frogs N Flies INTV box. I have Space Attack and Astroblast INTV boxes...anyone else ever seen these?

    Lets see Space Attack and Astroblast along with the carts. I have never seen them?


  3. Personally, I think a lot of people around here are "Out Of Control".

    Wow if that not the undestatement of the last few years. When poeple talk profit on selling boxed games it makes me want to sell so bad since most of the time I paid nearly nothing for most many moons ago. Even some that I paid for over the last 5 years on Ebay have gone way up. Yes loose has had an downturn cause loose is easy.


  4. My point is there should be enough to go around. If you can place a reasonable bid on a Coleco game and not win no big deal there will be lots more. Over the last year or 2 there has been way more on the market than ever. And at the same time there have been more than a few big spenders. I between their spending sprees on Coleco games I have been able to purchace coleco games off Ebay at normal to lower prices since they had them already or they missed the auctions. I have also had many of the same games they were paying alot for in my store at very fair market prices and the auction format was interesting to them. Atari 2600.com also had some great deals over the last year on coleco items at fair market prices way under Ebay crazyness.

    Dont take the forums blaaa as a personal attack or as you see many people will whip right back at you. This is a fun hobby to collect for. Looks neat, fun hunting them down and then you can even play them.


  5. I hope that was not you that just got that sealed copy from me? It's Very weird that Atari did not put the overlays inside with that release. You need them to play. What were they thinking. In my book Classic 80's Home Video Games we list special contents like that and when they are missing like this case. I will have to remember to mention this next time I have an active late release of this game boxed.


  6. I have a few in stock at my store with the startup disk for $25 and if you want one I will do it for that price shipped. If interested paypal to me and I will drop it in mail right away

    paypal [email protected] If you want to use my store checkout and maybe pick up something other than that I can make it an active item tonight. Thanks Jason

    check link below to store


  7. The book is soft back and is a standard size of 11" high and little over 8" wide. As for thickness the Final book is not done, I would think around 1 inch thick or maybe a little more. Our final color edit copy was almost 2 inches thick.

    We are listing Every NTSC 2600, 5200, 7800, Coleco Vision, Intellivision, Vectrex and Odyssey 2 cart. 99.9% are pictured with box and cart and many overlays and all the different systems and many accessories for each of those systems are displayed and listed. Each chapter is very thorough, label and box variations for each title are clearly listed in an easy to read format and we pictured at least one picture of box and cart for each title and may variations are shown also.

    We worked very hard on prices for each cart, instruction, and boxed complete for each variation listed by tracking data from Ebay sales, private sales and stores that sell to the community on a regular basis over the last few years. I have been actively been collecting and selling vintage games for over 15 years and my collection is for the most part complete now.

    We wanted to release a book that everyone could use. Atari 2600 is a huge part of the book since the size of that library with so many publishers and variations never seems to end. It would be a great Coffee table book. Many people who really have forgot about the older games should really get a kick out of the old pictures and have a blast just looking around the book and at the same time all the information is there to help out collectors track their collection and hunt for missing items they did not have.


  8. I have tried all of my bomb carts on different Tv sets and diff Atari systems over the years. I was at a show with them on display and someone said they were pal so I took them around to 3 or 4 diff setups at the show and everytime I turned them on all worked perfect and did not roll and looked the same and then they guy was offering crazy money to buy them. Plus I have had them tested on a few of my setups and all worked. I guess the good thing is that they still work. Only one has the sticker "n" sticker on the back of the cart and my others have the glue spot where it fell off. I am happy with them for my collection and they should be here for a long time so I am satisfied they are NTSC. At some point they will die and just look nice sitting there then who will care then! As for a dump of the rom I dont have any where to do that.
