+atari2600land #12581 Posted July 27 I found a reseller trying to sell Upmonsters for $75. A link to an over priced Upmonsters copy on eBay. EDIT: It seems to be sold out, so I guess he can sell his copy for whatever he wants. But he really should play it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe you’d like to check with the seller before you start with the trash talk. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeM_Intellivision #12583 Posted July 27 I thought that comment was a joke at least I hope it was???? Awesome seller & NO that is NOT overpriced at all! joe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+atari2600land #12584 Posted July 27 Geez, sorry! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeM_Intellivision #12585 Posted July 27 It’s just that to acquire that game CIB you had to purchase from 2 people & the total cost was close $55-$60 shipped. And also eBay takes 10% of EVERYTHING - final sale price & the shipping to. Then you add in PayPal fees, and the remaining cost to actually ship the item, there is no money being made here. And maybe you didn’t know but the seller is a very respected & honest member of our small community. It’s all good ok but I just wanted to point this out to you because he’s a stand up guy. Hope everyone is safe & healthy!! joe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+atari2600land #12586 Posted July 27 The reason I acted like I did was because I worked really hard on that game (like I do with every single one I make). And it just pains me to see my work not being enjoyed and instead resold, especially for high prices. I mean, if we could have got $75 for it, we would have charged $75 for it. 2600 Connection originally sold it for $25, so seeing it listed for $75 was a huge shock and I thought it was just an idiot reseller like schoolgirl in a short skirt or someone. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rev #12587 Posted July 27 Well after a person pieces together a 25 dollar game and adds shipping, and buys the box seperate and international shipping, that 25 dollar game quickly becomes nearly 60.00. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I understand where you're coming from on this but you have to know that once you put something out in the collection community you lose control of its value. It's a free market just like everywhere else. I made boxes for a few carts that never had them by hand so I couldn't mass produce them. I thought I'd get $20 or so, or that I could trade them for some things I needed for my collection. The last two I sold on eBay went for over $150 each for auctions that I started at 99 cents. If something is no longer available, the price will spike. You need to accept that. If you really just want people to enjoy the games you program then put the rom out for free. Then the play will be enjoyed the way you'd like. But if there are hard copy editions released then understand that rarity will drive the price up and you just have to just let collectors, and yes EVEN RESELLERS, make whatever they can. It's not the end of the world and it does not reflect negatively on your game. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stupus #12589 Posted July 27 I dont think you have to accept people reselling stuff at outrageous prices. I think its a collector or programmers right to be upset at purposeful gouging, just as its the resellers right to do it. I also dont think $75 was outrageous at all with all things considered. Plus this was a beloved idiot probably helping to fund more good intellivision things! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rev #12590 Posted July 27 So. Here is two games that sold for 50 or 55 each? I really should remember prices of games I released. Both of these sold a pretty decent amount of copies. I still have spare copies that never sold in fact. Im not bothered that someone sold both for over 100.00 each, nor am I bothered that someone paid that much. It is what it is. I can’t control the secondary market. Ive overpayed on Intellivision items and collecting games myself. One of my largest purchases was a few years back. I paid 800.00 each for Robot Rubble and League of Light. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree that you don't have to like it but you have no choice but to accept it because it's going to happen. Again, it takes nothing away from the game and does not reflect poorly on the programmer/publisher. There's nothing they can do about it either.

stupus #12595 Posted July 27 I disagree, you dont have to accept it. I wont buy from gougers and I block them when i do sell extra stuff publicly. And i make friends aware of people who practice this as do friends to me. Of course people will always resell stuff but when they do it specifically to take advantage of others i wont accept that. Just my stance on it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
