Depends on if they're sealed or opened, and if opened... tested/working or not tested. Zaxxon $75-$200, Donkey Kong & Donkey Kong Junior $150-$300...assuming all complete, and depending on condition. Again, ebay will get you the highest selling price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeDiPietro Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Awesome thanks so much! People have been telling me similar numbers. They are open and tested working! Complete. Amazing condition. So upwards of $800. I have set an asking price of around $1000 so I wasn’t far off. Even if they are floating around for $200/$300/$300 for an extra $200, a serious buyer/collector may want to pay the extra $200 to get the whole set all at once. Thanks so much for your incredibly valuable insight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubledown Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Well if they're not sealed, the numbers would be significantly lower than 200/300/300. I just sold a Zaxxon that was: opened arcade box in good/very good shape, manual was near mint w/ standard factory crease, and the DDP was still factory shrink-wrapped, and it sold on ebay for $76.00.

It is hard to believe I just ripped these boxes apart when I bought them back in the 80's But if I may, I have never in my history have seen an original "Shrink Wrapped" Coleco anything so I would be suspect. I have 3 boxes, 2 sealed and 1 not of Coleco cartridges, no shrink wrap. Even when I bought games at Sears, Specs Music or Zayres, Jeffersons they were never shrink wrapped same as all other systems. These 3 boxes sat on a shelf behind the counter and these particular games I picked up from Lionel Playworld where I also bought an Atari 5200 4 port, which was awesome and I don't care who hated it. My memory is so good I can tell you where I bought my first Coleco game right down to the Super Action Controllers at K-Bee toys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubledown Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Most ColecoVision cartridge game boxes weren't shrink-wrapped, at least not Coleco published games, but others like AtariSoft and Activision were. ADAM DDP cassette cases came shrink-wrapped/sealed, and I'm about 95% sure that the "arcade box" ADAM releases (Zaxxxon, DK, and DK Jr.), also had the outer packaging shrink-wrapped.

The Arcade Cabinet style boxes were not shrink-wrapped... 100% positive. If you saw one shrink-wrapped, it was done by someone other than Coleco.

But the DDP cassette cases were shrinkwrapped, like all cassette tapes and CDs that were once sold in stores...in a time long forgotten.

Yes, Coleco shrinkwrapped all data pack cases for individual software titles and blank DDPs. I do not recall if the 3 data packs included in the ADAM Computer package were shrinkwrapped... but something tells me they were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itchy Scratchy Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 (edited) When I said shrink wrapped I meant an entire piece of software such as a game cartridge or these boxes. I will correct myself and admit I was wrong because I have several unopened clam shell packages with the official Coleco seal on the outside of the SW as well as the original professional series such as LOGO, ADAMCALC and CPM 2.2 were sealed entirely. Of course the cassettes themselves were shrink wrapped, I have two never used ADAM's where the DDP'S never even left the styrofoam and are SW. None of the Atari published games I have are shrink wrapped which come from unoppened and opened boxes of 6 each. I should have been more specific and I apologize for the inaccuracies.

Itchy Scratchy Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 (edited) Rarity Question. As far as the Donkey Kong Cartridge with the ADAM label. Did that ever come in a box or was that some online promotional deal. I picked mine up through auction but do not know the history.

NIAD Posted December 7, 2020 Author Share Posted December 7, 2020 After the ADAM was announced and/or available for purchase and stock ran out of the original "For ColecoVision" cartridge label, I can only assume that the "For CV & ADAM" was used for all CV pack-ins and for the boxed CIB.

No doubt some of you already bid on it. Well known fact that Coleco released DK in it's own retail box. CBS Electronics also released it in it's own retail box in multiple box variations and not only because they released a ColecoVision package with Mouse Trap as the pack-in-game. Sealed can fetch a crazy amount and Like New could approach $200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itchy Scratchy Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 NIAD should know. Was there a FACTORY released DISK version of this. I know there are fan based labels and disk sleeves. How about CPM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, only a Data Pack version of 2010: The Text Adventure Game. CP/M 2.2 & Assembler WAS released as a CIB on Data Pack (#7832) and on Disk (#9663). Not to many disk versions are out there in the wild. This is the last update of my Coleco ADAM Collectors List (in WordPad RTF format) and it's pretty complete besides 3rd Party/Homebrew stuff. It's from 2014 and I plan to go through it to starting adding more 3rd Party/Homebrew items.
