SOLD:2600 Avalon Hill games shrinkwrapped/unopened

Recommended Posts

I haven't posted in a while here,been dealing with a family illness along with some other things.Anyways - this is something that I really don't want to do - but if I get some good feedback I just might do it.

 

If you look here - Yes,here. You'll see that I'm talking about my shrinkwrapped Avalon Hill games. I'm looking also at unloading some of my other collectibles & stuff to pay the bills,but I could let these go simply because they aren't opened.

 

I'd rather be able to play the games,you know? Anyways,if you have any interest at all,PM me.Thanks!

 

Calvin

 

 

Edit: The topic title has been changed & these games are now for sale.

I am not interested but here is my opinion on a price check...

 

Wall Ball - $70

Death Trap - $100

Shuttle orbitor - $140

London Blitz - $40

 

At least thats what I would offer them for if they were mine :)

I appreciate all the PM's that I've gotten - needless to say I was somewhat surprised! I still haven't decided whether or not to sell them - but I am leaning towards doing so.

 

One of my PM's asked for some more pics. This is what I have right now & if I do sell I can take other pictures if requested.

Here they are:

After a great deal of thought - I have decided to sell my Avalon Hill games. The four that are for sale are:

 

London Blitz

Death Trap

Shuttle Orbiter

Wall Ball

(no I do not have Out Of Control,wish I did)

 

As it says in the topic thread,all four games are unopened & shrinkwrapped.As you can see in some pics that are in earlier posts,the Zayre price tag is still on the shrinkwrap. I found all of these one day at a local thrift store just like this.The marker that you can see on the front is from that store and it is on the wrap itself,and NOT on the actual box.

 

I have had some offers for the games,but at that time I still wasn't sure that I was going to sell them.So to be fair - I'm going to wait for four to five days before I make a final decision.

 

Two things -

I am considering holding onto one of the games (most likely Death Trap) simply because I'd like to keep a reminder of how lucky I was to find these.Though I've been fortunate to have scored some great stuff over the years - this is probably the best one I've had. It will all depend on what offers I get.

 

The second is that I really need the cash,so I'm really not looking to trade.But - if I got an offer for some money & a game for my collection that I'm trying to complete,then I might consider that. (right now that would either be Keio for the Sega CD or one of the rarer Intellivision games.

 

 

Now,as for references - I have been collecting for a number of years,though I haven't done much lately.I am listed in the 5th edition of the DP guide under my name.I also used to post in r.g.v.c back in the day. I also have done some buying over at the DP forums under my name there (Nightwing). I also have done some buying at Chase The Chuckwagon & I have excellent eBay feedback (nightwing007). I also drive a school bus for a living & co-host a public access show where I live in RI,so I can be found. :D

 

I have no problems shipping overseas,and I'll either sell all three/four games together or i will break them up depending on the offers.If for some reason I don't sell them all at this time these will go to one of the aforementioned auction sites.

 

That's it.Please PM me if you have any questions & thanks again for your interest!

Just as a bit of friendly advice -

Some people don't like seeing threads relating to "possible sales". Many times, most especially with new members, this could possibly dissuade them from ever purchasing.

I appreciate how difficult it is to consider selling something that you value and am in the same boat myself, however I won't say any specifics until I decide.

Whatever you do choose to do, I wish you luck and speed in decision.

Awww man!!!

 

I normally don't like cart boxes with price tags on them but your boxes were purchased from the store where I bought just about all my 2600 titles back in the day... Zayre! I don't know if they were a national or local chain but there were a few of them in the Boston area. Man I wish I could afford to purchase one of these! Can I buy the price tag? :)

I'm not familiar with these games, nor did I know Avalon Hill made anything for the Atari 2600. Are any of these like their table-top war games or their computer versions of some of these? I doubt it, but thought I'd ask if any of them are similar. The database has some information, but it seems like they're not like that at all.

They are interesting but no, they are not like AHs board and microcomputer game lines.

It was a regional chain,that I am pretty sure.They were a good place to get games,especially when the Great Crash occurred.

 

BTW: I've sold 3 of the 4 games.Thanks everyone!!
