Just want to be clear, cause in the last thread she posted that she was flying to England to meet her family, so is this around the same time of this event??

Just curious, so your flight to England to meet your family is at the same time of this event??

I would think so....yeah. I am just a workin' guy and I would be offended if someone other than my accountant asked to know my annual income. Wp To be honest not me, I wouldn't be offended if anyone asked me what I did for a living or what my income was. Whether your working your dream job or not or at the moment your unemployed and collecting unemployment checks or you haven't worked at all your whole life and living off your parents, so what. Some people have to work overtime to make ends meet and some just lounge around and are living real nice or you might be that average person that doesn't care how you live but either way, I don't see anything wrong with that question. Some people lie and make themselves sound like their rich and some are proud to say the truth, but regardless, if you have a family and your providing a roof over their head and food on the table be proud of that and if your single and don't have any kids, living alone and your providing a roof over your head and food on the table, be proud of that and last if your collecting unemplyment checks til you find a job or your living at home and living off of them, so what, atleast you got a roof over your head. Things can be worse a lot worse, you can be one of those millions of people homeless doing whatever it takes to survive and yet most of them are doing that with a smile on their face cause there still alive and for them theres still a chance they can turn things around. Just be proud of who you are no matter what it is...

The NES Nintendo game Stadium Events (NIB) sold for $40k just a couple weeks ago. Just imagine if someone found an NIB sealed Air Raid! $31k for an opened box.....sealed would probably fetch $40k at least! I'll be honest, like I said earlier, I honestly thought it was going to be between $20k to $22k, but I was 10K off, and that un-open, if it was sealed, I actually think it would surpass $40k easily...

Nintendo vs Atari, let the debate begin.... Oh wait, that debate has been going on for decades.......

asking him is one thing, but him answering you is another thing, lol....

Got this from the article of Tanmans auction: I asked Sandlin what he intended to do with the money and he wasn’t quite sure yet. He did know that he wanted to buy something tangible; something he could point at it and say, “I bought that with a video game!” LMAO, so you want to buy something tangible and just point at it and say you bought that with a video game.... Now thats priceless!!!!

Why Don't you think you fit in here anymore?? I didn't know anything about AtariAge til a few days ago and I'm glad I joined cause so many people have so many different types of views that makes all these discussions great. Yes, I'll be the first to admit, I don't have any atari items, but now I might start to be interested cause of what others have had to say. I should be the one that should say I don't fit in here but I'm not going to say that cause this is fun. I look forward to what others have to say and who knows once said and done, I might leave here making new friends.

all that was watching, how many thought it was going to reach 30k or more?? or maybe thought it was going to pass the 40k that Stadium Events got?? I'll be honest, within the final mins, I thought around 20k, at the most, close to 22k. But what a big jump, from 17k to 30k. I thought looking at the hidden bids, we would of seen all the auto bids from 17k, through all the 20ks then the final price. WOW, I'm still shocked. Can't wait to see another one or maybe have another thread like this one. Really had fun reading all the posts and look forward to more to come.

So if I read it right, he said now this will be his second and he's willing to sell one of them, so really all he wanted was the box. WOW, thats one expensive box. He also said that he is entertaining offers to sell one of his Air Raid games, so there you got Tanman, take off about 5k and if he accepts then you get to keep a rare game. Thats not a bad deal at all. By the way, Congrats....

Lots of Air Raid questions. You can use the search if you can't get everything you need here. I have, and each site says something different

I just like to know as much as I can before I make a purchase, thats all.

What? There are 13 known to exist. The "under 20" thing is fuzzy, meaning someone is leaving it open to possibility that there could be more than the 13 known. It is not known that there are 5 people keeping quiet, or any other number. Any number could be out there, or not. In truth, it could be any number above 13 that exist, as no one can prove or disprove how many there are out there that are unknown. Since 13 are known at this time. The word "known" is really the key here. Not too hard to understand. You're really overthinking this. EDIT: I just re-read that. I sounded sort of like a Monty Python sketch. Right. Now you are wandering into the murky waters of epistemology, which questions whether knowledge itself is even knowable. If it is not, how can we know this? I'm not over thinking it, I'm just trying to figure out if those who have it come out and try to sell theirs will they each still be worth around this much, not as much as Tanmans cause he has the box but minus whatever value the box adds. I'm retired, so if the value of this will stay almost the same no matter how many come out and sell theirs then its something I can buy right now, but is it cause no one else wants to sell theirs or is it cause its really worth this much. Thats what I'm curious. Even if there was 100 of them out there, is the price still over 5k or whatever the others are worth

Thanks for the link, so those are all the ones confirmed, nice.... ok, if I think 19 then, since 13 plus a questionable person has the game, 14, so that leaves five people who are keeping quite, but to my question, does that mean they all are worth close to the same price, minus what the box adds then??

Yes it is, lol, but why put down 20, why not say 15 or 13, to me when I see 20, I automatically think, ok, there was 20 made Also, thanks for allowing me to discuss stuff with you guys/gals
