WTB: Atari 2600 / Halloween

Recommended Posts

Yeah, I saw the auction. I'm still upset for passing up a chance to buy it a few years ago at $120.

 

It's a horrible game, and I'm a casual Atari collector - I'm mostly interested since I'm a fan of the movie.

 

That being said, just because nobody makes me a realistic offer doesn't mean I don't want to hear what they're offering.

A nice looking cart was sold on ebay.de (worldwide auction) for 41€! :cool:

That auction was for TCM, not Halloween. :?

 

 

Helloween or TCM what´s the difference???? Same company, same label style and they fetch both top prices!

Damn, these titles confuse me all the time..... :ponder:

the crappy part of this... I don't own a real Halloween yet.

About a month ago I was planning on going to Gibalter (spelling?) near my house.

Then the wife wanted to sleep in a bit... and I joked around with her that all of the 'good [email protected]$t would be gone'. Some comedian said that once. I can't remember who.

 

Anyway... when I got there I talked to a seller there and found out that he cleaned out a guy that had a few good carts in the 'garage sale section'

 

One of them was a mint labeled version of Halloween. :(

I asked when he got it... and he literally bought it 15 minutes before I showed up.

 

Damn! That close! I still have not found anything in Michigan compared to my old Tulsa, OK flea market days.

Actually, "Halloween" is a quite fun little game... Pixelated blood spurts, really SPOT ON Halloween theme music, it's so fun... lights flickering, buzzing out, hallways, kids running about as bait. lol. you can't go wrong!

The prices on this REALLY fluctuate if you wait patiently. The last two auctions I saw went for around $500 and $700, but I just got mine for $180, which I was happy with considering how it's been looking. If you're patient, decide on a price you'd pay and play it safe (and sneaky).

Yeah, I agree. I got mine on Ebay for $200.00 - from one of the AA members here. Yet a few weeks earlier, the previous one had sold for over $400.00.

 

I feel very lucky.

I really don't understand the thinking of bidders sometimes. My favorite example is the board game Fireball Island. Granted, it's awesome, but for some reason it gets around $150-$200 complete almost all the time in spite of the fact there will be like 10 simultaneous complete auctions. Seriously, people, if you all just waited your turn and bid on one a week you could get it for like nothing.

A few years from now Halloweens will be selling for $75-$125 on a regular basis. The game is not that rare, they are out there :)

Does this one count? :D

 

 

Sounds like an adult game :D

I have the dactar version myself. I did also end up getting a repro from the marketplace forum here (and a nice one at that).
