How much are these worth specially the Bounty BOB Strikes back! I'm getting different prices for The Complete in Box prices from $800 to $200 and the others well people are all over the place.

I currently have all these on Ebay and would like to make sure I am getting what there worth or at least a fair deal.

 

Thank you all so very much,

I wouldn't call Basic rare.

 

Maybe a mint original box and untainted reference book included would fetch a better price.

 

You might find your items competing with each other in a way... plenty of people might like 2 or more things but won't justify buying them all in one somewhat expensive hit.

I dont understand this msg nor the other spam you have left on these auctions.

 

You've already listed them so when someone buys them the price you think you should get doesnt matter. This should be in the marketplace like you were already told and had numerous mgs moved/removed. I presume this one will be removed also.

Excuse me but that was when I first posted and they were all deleted and I made peace with the Moderator and took my spanking. I think you understand my question but just have a gripe. If you don't have anything of value to say why waste others, your or even my time.

Good Day and good luck in all your future endeavors.

If this was a genuine interest check on the value of your Atari items you wouldn't have put them on eBay first and then spammed the forum with links to them second. There is no point getting opinions on prices when the auctions are underway.

 

If you look at the time and date stamp on the first post in this thread it was created by you earlier today. Thats the reason why people are annoyed with you.

Is there a rule as to when I should ask for a genuine opinion or help in regards to pricing? I mean seriously, think about what you are saying.

 

Also, if you notice I did not become a member of these forums until a few days after posting my listing on ebay, so as for your remark it is unfounded and I'm not trying what you think I'm trying.I found this site by trying to search out Prices for these items! (by the way I am new to the Vintage Atari buying, selling and collecting game.)

 

All that I'm asking is what these are worth in todays market. If someone says the market on Atari has crashed and the Rare Bounty Bob is only fetching around $100 then I know I'm doing ok with that auction but if someone were to say it's worth $1000 and my current bid is only $80 then well there is a problem and I will take that off ebay. Do you understand what I'm asking now? If so great, if not, I don't know what to tell you.

 

Good Day!

Thank you for your reply. Even a little help goes a long way. :-)

There is no rule. Its called etiquette. To me (and many others I expect) it looks like you are trying to direct AtariAge traffic at your auctions so you raise their profile to get more money. Whilst doing it under the pretext of an "interest check" on their value.

If a game has legitimate bids on it and you pull it because its not reaching what you want thats also considered pretty poor etiquette around here too. Its your mistake that you let it go for a low bid and not the bidders. So you take it on the chin, learn from your mistakes and move on.
