Never showed up on my eBay search criteria list. It has been posted as “does not ship to canada” which is probably why it didn’t show up.

I did a search on eBay the other day and found around 15 CIB copies available. If you're just looking for a copy to have you can probably go cheaper. However, if you're looking for one in decent condition, it may be worth it to pay a little more like the one you linked. I occasionally see these sealed as well, if that's your thing. Edit: This one's missing the manual, but might be worth watching. https://www.ebay.com/itm/284049790027 Edited October 18, 2020 by JasonlikesINTV Link added Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably saw this full Sears games bundle at $900 https://www.ebay.it/itm/154055731959 Quality seems to be good but not mint, 29 games CIB, $31 each, with a bit of time and patience you can get all games for less, but considering shipping costs it won’t be easy...

I value the lot at about $500-$550. There are some that I want in there, but can’t justify overpaying that much for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Definitely overpriced for the lot. Also, it's more fun to seek them out. I've always enjoyed the journey over the destination. The hunt over the kill. The hunger over the satiation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fellow AA member Lathelost the bid on it due to a "Snipe" malfunction and after a quick meeting in the Garage at PRGE I passed it on to him. (Ok that is not how it happened!) Two years later we found the other one...and now the CIB with the Cover. It only took 7 years to get this. LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Lathe26 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Interestingly, I've noticed that the Atari version of the Videoplexer has shot up in price in the past few years. You used to be able to get the Atari version for about $60. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oy! I managed to snag the Basic Cassette and Cartridge , although I have a reverse engineered version by Decle.Thought I did ok to pick up crosswords 3.I was huge on my reserve for crosswords 2 thinking that was mad territory ? and just missed out. Crosswords 3 went for more than I paid for the shrink wrapped Jack Lalanne last year , maybe someone really just needed to complete the set. Guess if you have to wait a few years to ever see another one appear you may think it’s worth it. Is it typically kc owners bidding ? , that’s a small market. Are we at new price points or was this a random blip Edited October 20, 2020 by Ron The Cat 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
