    I knew Best made a DDSB but I've never actually seen one so I think it's rarer than Dukes of Hazzard. It's tough to say value since that depends on if you count best electronics stuff as collectable or not. If you do I think CVGA's $75 number sounds fair, if you don't then it's worth about $20 at best since many people can make you a reproduction with an actual label for that price, lol.

    Hello, I have a "new 3ds" I say new because that is what it is called (I swear nintendo did that purposely to mess with people trying to sell them, lol) but it is actually used...anyways, it's CIB in great shape, maybe 20 hours total use and has the following downloaded games...

    - 3D Outrun

    - 3D Space Harrier

    - NES Mike Tyson punchout

    - NES River city Ransom

    - a few RPG games that I can't think of the name off hand

    Also comes with the Zelda game Triforce Heroes (physical copy) and a CHARGER! Yes, the new 3DS not not come bundled with a charger but I have one that comes with :)

     

    Asking $175 shipped! Let me know if you are interested, Thanks!

    One of the first Amiga games I owned, I remember thinking "why on Earth am I playing a shipping simulator" ending up being a lot of fun though :)

     

    I wrote it. I re-did all the graphics and me and my friend re-coded it in 100% ASM, it was a PASCAL Atari ST game. :)

     

    The disc duplication company informed me that they could not copy my copy protection, so I had to pull it back a bit. Even though I gave them a tool to prove that it can be copied with the right code. :lol:

    That is hilarious man! I never did play Star Trash, looks cool though :)

    Good time to buy before Gauntlet is released :D

    Oh snap, Gauntlet and Super Sprint homebrew with 4 player team tap, awwww yeah!!

     

    I'll probably miss it because I'm not in the loop though, then it will be some extreme limited edition of course, $$$$$ on Ebay, par the course, etc etc...

    The thing about Atari collecting is the rare stuff is RARE and the common stuff is COMMON.

     

    Anybody just starting out in Atari collecting will wipe out the first hundred or so commons in one Ebay swoop. This makes those same hundred commons sitting at stores and vendor tables just sit there, forever.....

     

    If vendors and stores were stocked with mid range to rare stuff, it would move just as fast as anything else, it's just they don't have that. They have those same hundred or so games that every single collector has. Most new collectors start collecting because they scored a big lot, be it from a relative, friend, thrift store or whatever....guess what games were in that lot they scored? You guessed it, those same hundred commons...

     

    I think the Crash had a lot to do with this. You can look at what I call "family collections" These would be family systems that eventually get pulled out of the attic to be pawned on Ebay/etc.. The typical Family Atari collection is 50+ games while the typical family NES collection is around a dozen or less games. NES and beyond never experienced the absolute close out prices we did, getting new shrink wrapped games for $1/etc.. this just didn't happen in the following generations. Due to this, the typical "base collection" a new Atari 2600 collector receives already has all these common games that everyone on the planet already owns. The typical "base collection" for NES and beyond just has a mere handful of games making those not so rare games a lot more desirable since yes, they are out there, they are obtainable...but that new collector actually needs them!
