raiderxx Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 So I bought a Sears Video Arcade II with a bunch of loose and boxed games. I thought it would be fun to check the going rates for some of my finds. One of them is Subterrarea. I happened to find this sold listing on Ebay nearly had a heart attack! Is this price normal or a fluke?? I've got a few pictures too. I LOVE these boxes! Came with the receipt too. One more question. Is it preferrable to keep the shrink wrap on or off? It's obviously open, but the shrink wrap gives it a bit of character.. And it shows the original price tag too. Box is in fantastic shape.

fiddlepaddle Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 It must be rare as I have 522 different games I've found in the wild, and that's not one of them. Loose, they go for $15-25 or more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetset Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Is it a fluke? Not likely, the bidders that jacked up that high have a decent amount of feedback so it's not likely a shill (although whenever there's a "private" bidder it often is). Is it retarded? Most likely. it's rare...but I can't imagine it being *that* rare, but the price (as always) is what people will pay. If you find someone crazy enough, $300+ bucks isn't out of the ballpark.

kennybrooks Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I have seen a buy it now of $250 bought in the first 5 minutes, I do believe $300-$350 is the going rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I ever had that one in my possession, even when I had my vintage shop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raiderxx Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 Thanks all! Sounds like I've made a good dent in my new Atari collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeusExMachina Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 It is a difficult game to find complete in box. You don't see to many of them for sale these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raiderxx Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 Would you all recommend leaving the shrink wrap on or off for all of my games? The ones with shrink wrap on them have the boxes in awesome condition, and most of the shrink wrap still has the price from Kay-Bee Toys on it. Any opinions?

+cvga Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Nice find. If the shrinkwrap and clean and cut precisely just to open the box, I'd leave it on. You might want to consider getting some plastic bos protectors for your more valuable games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just one little piece that is ripped but everything is staying together very well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 One of the few rare games that is actually kickass, too. I can remember buying two $10 dollar mythicon games vs. spending $20 on this one back in the day and later wishing I had chosen otherwise... I do have it now, though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I actually plugged it in this afternoon and had a blast! It is a great game, and the SVA2 is a really sleek console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
