2 factory sealed Quadruns on eBay!

Recommended Posts

Mmm... are we witnessing the end of the ultra-rare status of a boxed Quadrun here.... (warehouse find?)

 

Cheers,

Marco

Quadrun Item number: 140132137596

 

Quadrun Item number: 140132169827

 

It's the same seller and exactly the same pictures for both auctions. The seller seems to know how rare the game is from his description, why would he sell them at the same time and more importantly, show the same game in the pictures for both auctions. Seems a bit odd to me.

 

Maybe it's an error and they meant to just post one but if not, seems pretty dumb to post them both at the same time and ending on the same day. Seems like the better thing to do would be to space those out a bit and an even better idea to show the actual game you're selling. I don't know...just my two cents.

His loss is our gain...

Exactly. Might even lower the overall price of CIB Quadruns momentarily.

It´ll go up again I´m sure.

 

Yep, and so will Ikari, Motorodeo, Bears :lol: Bye Bye quadrun, tis a sad day :(

"The seller ended this listing early because of an error in the listing."

 

 

Now the question is...does he only have one or has he suddenly realized the error of listing two at the same time?

I was guessing he might of listed twice on accident. They were exactly the same pictures for each of the listings with the same descriptions.

If they were out of a case, I would have expected the same pic, but of course it is a tactical mistake to list two at once even if you have two!

It appears the rip was made to add "A" to the Quadrun 2686 model number. It is possible this "A" and similar "A"s on other Quadrun boxes were added at the Atari factory to indicate a production revision.

So it went for $761.51. I wonder who Highesttoyoffer is. I wonder if we have a new buyer entering the market. Is it just me or has a boxed or sealed Quadrun always been $700 to $800. It seems to be the most stable in price compared to the other games.

Sorry Homer, but I have to disagree. 2 years ago, a sealed Quadrun would have gone for $1k+. Its certainly taken a hit in recent time as there appear to have been plenty of CIB copies floating around. This copy is sealed, and sealed games always seem to command a premium. If this was just CIB, I would have expected it to go for around $600. Thats about where this title currently is (for the time being).

He is right. Quadrun is down. A loose cart would sell for 700-800 at one time and sealed copies bought and sold before for over 1k.

 

Its just not as rare as we once thought. Will it continue to decline ,stay the same or rise again? Short term I'm not sure but think it will rise again over the long haul unless the guys who brought us Motorodeo strike again.

Yeah, maybe your right that Quadruns are down somewhat. Atleast box wise. I think it is not that Quadrun is any more common than we once thought, I think it has to do with the advent of Ebay we are realizing that a game with a print run of 10,000 is a lot more accessible than we once thought.

It seems like CIB Quadruns are showing up more frequently than loose CTCWs. However, the do seem to be rarer than Atlantis II lately. :ponder:
