the.golden.ax Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I vote for a group shot of this collection If they are looking to sell, a standard auction a few at a time, over time on eBay/Game Gavel would be the best way. If you are not used to shipping do a couple at a time making the shipping melee less of a hassle. A few of us collectors will also be able to bid higher and pick more up if given some space between listings to recoup spending money. AX Already asked...see post #125 Yep, was echoing your decree.

Frostbite Bailey Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I am stupid I know. I don't know how to get the pix I have to this site. I'm too old for this crap. Your never too old Click To Attach Files; then pic out the file for the pic on your computer, and add it. Give it a try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom Hunter Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Well, the titles I listed in post #99 are certainly worth selling seperately. Unfortunately, your version of Karate is not the one most collectors are looking for, but there's more than enough left. One question: Crime Busters is not an Atari 2600 game. Are you sure it's spelled Crime Busters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schizophretard Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 (edited) I change my mind about wanting this collection. If you love your father and he loved his collection then you should keep it. Edited March 8, 2011 by Schizophretard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Man, I'm gone for a day and what an explosion! Really cool this ended up being a real thing. It would be nice to own that Video Life and have fun with it, but I doubt I could muster the money right now. Not until I get a better job will I be able to get that one. Sigh! If you do put it on eBay, please post a link for us and such so we can all take a crack at it! Maybe I'll get lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trinity Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 The last super rare game went for like 30K. Don't let anyone low ball you or screw you around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frostbite Bailey Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 The last super rare game went for like 30K. Don't let anyone low ball you or screw you around. $31,600, but that was the only Air Raid known to exist. The highlights would have to Video Life, River Patrol, and Out of Control. Hope these all go up for auction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwinChargers Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 (edited) May I ask, Mother In Law, what your father did for a living? Was he connected to the gaming scene at all? Did he work for Atari or own a game store? Looks like you have plenty of rare titles on your hands. Any idea on how he acquired them?

Benzman66 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Anyone notice the T handled game on the top of the game holder in pic 7 ? Isn't this the same mold as Air Raid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayWI Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Don't sell them. Just log in and post pics of the rarer games every few months and say "you want this don't you?" 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
