    Maybe I misuderstood but is this an auction? When you say "bid" you mean purchase right? :?

     

    It's not that I don't believe him, it's just to much to risk that someone else won't "discover" more. We all knew this would happen sooner or later with these particular titles right?

     

    Plus, there isn't any appeal for me to having a shrinkwrapped game that is a fairly common PAL title. NO ONE will ever believe you that it's NTSC if you keep it sealed! Just look at all the speculation when one hits ebay. Even you yourself doubted this to be true and had to open them up...

     

    Another thing is the fact that Ikari Warriors is only a rarity 9 on atariage and an 8 on digital press. I would say you are over estimating the value of Ikari by forcing people to purchase both when one isn't worth as much as the other.

     

    If anyone buys me the package, I'd throw a $500-$700 trade your way (what arcade title(s) you want?) but who the hell would be dumb enought to do that?

     

    Where do you draw the line with the find? If I offered up 7 sealed copies of Mangia and Bumper Bash each, how many would offer me $1,000 for the set?

    Here are some pictures, I just grabbed two randomly from the box.

    I would consider lowering the price. The PAL boxes for these releases are identical to the NTSC ones. Essentially, you are offering the NTSC cart only. I'd be interested if your supplier lowered his price some. I mean, c'mon this guy is looking to make $6,000 on something he may have a hundred copies of.

    I would like Custer's Revenge and Chase the Chuckwagon. I know where they are but I dont's know where I would get the $500+ that the shop owner wants  :(  :sad:

    Man, I'll sell you a CTCW with a nice label for $80 Paypal if you're interested. Custer's Revenge sells for $20-$25 loose on e-bay... DON'T pay what he's asking even if they are complete!

    Personally, I don't like owning carts without manuals, especially when you are talking about the early narrow Warner Communicatins ones.

     

    Manuals are a big part of the charm for me.

     

    I'm probably in the minority, though.

    I'm with you, I'd like to have manuals and boxes if at all possible.

    849038[/snapback]

     

    I collect manual variations so if it's a manual I don't have, I'll probably be bidding on it just for the paper. I've bought countless rarities w/manual just for the manual and then sold the cart off at a later time. Most often I take a $5-$10 loss in the long run but it's worth it to me. I have nearly every 2600 manual and they rule! Boxes take up way too much space!

    So, like, $100 total for that lot? Not worth it in my book...

    If it's not your lot, why would you post it here and then bitch about the price going so high? I could care less but it just seems pointless to post a couple rarity 5 games grouped together on this board just so some re-seller can snatch it up and make a profit. The real collectors know when something good hits e-bay. It's not possible for something to go unoticed anymore.

    Did Activision acquire Imagic at some point? I'd assume so, based on that info, and that the Jakks 10-in-1 Activision stick had a couple Imagic games in it too IIRC.

    Activision purchased Imagic in 1984.

     

    Oh yeah, here's another page you might want to look at:

    I don't consider Activision complete without the 3 blue label titles in question. I'm still trying to find black and white instructions for two of those carts.

     

    Please keep in mind that some collectors go with the 44 number since the games were origionally released by Imagic.

    I just wanted to use my 1,000th post to say thanks to Atariage for being the best community for atari nerds like me. I'd certainly be "in the dark" if it wasn't for this community. Alex and Albert are good people. Keep up the good work!

     

    Psst!---Get that 8-bit part of the web site up. I can add a bunch of box/instruction/cart scans when it comes time to. I would assist with the rarity guide too if I could be of any help. :)

    Okay time to talk about programming the math game dream!

    Basiclly i was in a cubicle i remeber i was drawing out the math questions. While i was doing this a guy in another cubicle beside mine kept on looking at what i was doing i told him to screw off he then told me we had to go to the "citidel" which was sorta like a church except it was really really big and blue yes blue. I had this still picture of the "citidel" for about two seconds. Then it switched to a view outside of a space station I then saw one of those gundam things fly away from the station then it blew up.

    Yes this is another one of my screwed up dreams.

    ps. If you want to hear any more of my dreams just ask

    pss. If you want me to i might be able to "draw out" what the math program sort of looked like.

    psss. you won't want to hear the one about the one with crabs and a gameshow with me either getting killed or not killed.

    That ain't nothing. I dream quite often that I am God and the fate of the world depends on my decisions to eat certain foods or not.

    I have. Couple years ago, I BIN'ed a loose springer for the 2600 listed at $75. I don't really feel that bad b/c I got to cross it off my want list and I hadn't seen one for months on e-bay. I figure I overpaid by double on that one. Doesn't really matter though. Compared with the massive amount of other deals I've gotten on e-bay, it's the only time I remember paying too much. I'm still looking for the instructions though.

    I've had so many weird collecting-related dreams it's not funny.  Never any where I've shoved just about anything into an Atari and had it work.   My dreams are of the more common variety where I'm in some kind of store and find tons of rare and (usually) unheard of games at (usually) unbelievable prices.  Oftentimes I even get to play the games and they're never like anything that was actually released.  It's always traumatizing to wake up and realize it was all just a dream.  I should keep pen and paper by the bed so I can write down some of the bizarre titles I've dreamt about.

    I had this same thing happen to myself about 6 months ago. I remember I wrote down "beastie feastie", "grover music", and "space invaders deluxe" as 2600 games I found in a thrift. They were in blue and brown "xante" style carts if I remember correctly. They had masking tape on the ends with the titles written in pencil for some reason??? The dream was in a goodwill I have dreamed about many times before.
