Price Check: 512K Tetris

[Videogamecollector123]

Hey, found this at a yard sale. I don't have a 512K so I figured I'd just sell it. Can anyone tell me what it's worth? The box is a little worn but I think it comes with everything inside the box.

I would say probably about a few bucks. I saw a few ended auctions on ebay for $35 and $99 that didn't sell. Most of those early 90s PC games aren't worth much. I wouldn't pay more than $2 at a yard sale or thrift store for it and I would buy it to keep it, not to resell it because I wouldn't think I could get much for it. Well, that's my two cents/opinion. Someone else tell me if I'm wrong please.

Well I payed 50 cents so it's no problem if I can't sell it.

I like those PC boxed games, I would have bought it to keep. I have a small boxed PC game collection and Tetris would fit nicely. Good find, and 50 cents is a great deal!

It's not a PC game.

This thing is so cool. I found a nice sealed one on the bay while checking prices for $35 and said hell why not!!

I was using PC to mean Personal Computer - not specifically IBM or Mac.

Hmm... a $2-$3 game CIB tops. Congrats!

 

...and then $35 for one? Guess the 500+ collection of CIB Amiga games I have truly *is* going to be my retirement fund.

$35 sealed not cib

I'd love to find some IBM Atarisoft CIB games in the wild. I found Jungle Hunt a while back but that was it. I like the blue box.

Finding sealed IBM/Mac games in the wild is near impossible, even at yard sales. I've found a few here and there but the number is under 10 in the last 10 years.

Still, a good find for 50 cents!

Well it's still a 400% profit I guess I though 512K games were more expensive than they were, so I'm just gonna keep it.

I will double the $2 and offer $5!
