Zwackery Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 ...back in the day anyhow. This is a nice little acquisition. (Also got a grey box Outlaw CIB in the same lot.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari181 Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I was bidding against you in that lot, I thought about going higher, but without seeing the whole box I couldn't. Nice one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marillion Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I certainly blew it by not bidding on that person's auctions. Dammit. Peace, Chip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassGuitari Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Now that's one I haven't seen before. Cool! That label looks like no other Atari ever used. The fonts and layout are totally different from every other Atari label. Kinda looks like something Hozer might do, actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HelloAtariJason Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 That's pretty cray. Is that an NTSC release? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omegamatrix Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Super hard box to come by, that's for sure. Congrats Zwackery. Now go for Grey boxed Pac-Man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zwackery Posted October 4, 2012 Author Share Posted October 4, 2012 Grey boxed Pac-Man is on my list, but it is indeed an elusive creature. (I'm still also looking for Backgammon, Blackjack, Bowling, Maze Craze, and Surround in the grey boxes.) I added the grey Hangman to my searches quite awhile ago, probably back in 2005. This is such a funky, and unique variant that it really piqued my interest. I know it is rather rare, but I'm not sure what value to ascribe to it, but anyhow I had a pretty decent snipe come in at the end just in case. I also noticed the one scanned at atarimania also has a $12.99 Kay Bee sticker, so they appear to be at least one source for grey Hangman here in the US. Man, I miss that store! I should have bought everything back in the day when they were liquidating stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WispFollower Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I have seen many rare games and variants with multiple decreasing price stickers from kaybee toys.. It's like they couldn't give this stuff away at a certain point in time. It makes me wonder what bargain bin items of today will be tomorrow's bidding wars.

Philflound Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 That's a good point. I see KMart discounting many PS2 and 3 games along with Xbox. I can't remember which music store (my mind is mush right now), but I was getting PS1 games for a buck or less brand new sealed. I always like buying stuff at real discounts because down the road, you'll be able to make a profit. Everything is cyclical. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
