My Air Raid Auction Update

[jaybird3rd]

Now over $14K. Mind-blowing!

[Osbo]

Tanman, do you have the bottle of champagne ready to celebrate?

[Pitfall Harry]

17 minutes, the suspense is killing me!

 

It's like watching a bag of popcorn in a microwave near the end of its cycle. Will it pop a few times more, or is it over?

I'm not over thinking it,

 

You were overthinking the 13 vs 20 thing. As to your questions about the value, I think you've gotten a couple/few pretty good answers now.

 

Welcome to the site by the way. Good to have someone else interested in this stuff! Sit back and watch the excitement! You came at a great time.

I think that someone could recoup a large portion of the current price by selling reproductions. I think about 200-300 copies could be sold at a $60-$75 price point.

I just like to know as much as I can before I make a purchase, thats all.

Does anyone know whats the correct number of copies of Air Raid ever made, cause in the auction, ontop he said Original Owner-Good Condition-Only 13 known to exist and when you scroll down I believe but when you scroll down the same page he says, Some articles have called it the holy grail of 2600 games. There are less than 20 known to exist. So is it 13 or 20 and does it really matter how many was made if this is to be the only one thats known to be known?? Meaning, if another person came out showing they had one, would that mean the game is not as worth as its going for or no matter if 13 or 20 people came out and said they had it, they all would be worth around this much, yes I know this one is worth more cause it has the box, but just curious how that would work. Collectors and collecting stuff has always interested me. So thats why I'm trying to see what others thoughts are.

Lots of Air Raid questions. You can use the search if you can't get everything you need here.

I still think it's an April Fool's joke.

 

Seriously though... congratulations on an amazing find and insanely successful auction. I never would have guessed it would go that high.

 

No go celebrate. Buy a car or something.

[holygrailvideogames.com]

Congrats Jose! Tanman you ended up with a great buyer so congrats to you as well!
