Morpheus Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Okay, let’s try at least to estimate how this Backgammon II box + manual in good conditions auction would have gone (assuming that Cmart was on holiday in a cave without any possibile connection with the web of course). My maximum bid would have been around 130 bucks. I truly don’t know if it would have been too much or way too low. It’s the first I’ve ever seen so far... @Humblejack, how much would you have bidded? Any one else? How much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari_Bill Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 No bids from me, but my guess was 250ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow! Considering that it was not even complete, since the cartridge was missing, I would assume that a nice CIB could be easily worthed 250+ bucks... So, @Rev did you make a better deal?

Kamikazi26 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Why do you guys say “box and manual” only? It was complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complete for this should be a white label cart. The box here is the biggest prize however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamikazi26 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 That’s how some come out of the box for Backgammon (II). I would consider this a CIB for this title. Yes, there is a white label cart, those are rarest of the rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1980gamer Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Didn't they produce new boxes and manuals for existing inventory (carts)? So, wouldn't it be possible to get a non white label cart? Hmm, Or did they ALWAYS put the white label over the red/blue/green/purple labels? Never saw a white label speech cart. Do those exist?

Most Intellivision Inc Backgammon come with the green cart which I assume they had stock left in when they bought up the remaining supply so they worked through those first and then printed the white label ones late in the life cycle. That's my best guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it was complete. Intv Inc Backgammon released with both color and white labels. Just because one had less made does not negate the one that had more made. Also, I didnt get any money for cancelling it, i gave it free to someone as a present. Not everything is about money. Any future auctions of mine wont be cancelled early. This was a one time deal. thanks Edited May 26, 2021 by Rev 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
