wolfy62 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 The last auction sold for ~$850, but prior auctions went for much higher. Some people are thinking that the price is dropping for Spiker while others think the last auction was just a lucky deal. Personally, I'm thinking I got lucky / good timing with that one. wasn't that Spiker that went for $850. in a pretty crushed up box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Lathe26 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Actually, the box was in really great shape. Just a couple minor scuffs. Probably in better shape than much of my collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+nurmix Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 (edited) There was a time in the mid to late '90s that you could walk into any Radio Shack, and ask for their Radio Shack Unlimited purple binder, and order a Spiker (and just about any other Intellivision game) for $20 direct from their GIANT warehouses in Texas. I ordered a bunch of games, but didn't get a Spiker, because I already had my original copy, and their value hadn't yet 'spiked' (eBay hadn't really happened at that point). If only I had known...

One wonders what cheap games available for $20 today will spike (pun intended) to $1000 in a decade or two. Obviously, the homebrews are candidates, but even for other consoles....should I stock up on any PS2/PS3/Wii games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

y-bot Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I ordered games from Radio Shack in 1997 I think and Spiker was already gone. I got Body Slam and Dig Dug that way. I need to chill out on buying stuff for a bit so I won't be bidding up any Spikers for a little while. In the process of buying a bigger house to store all my junk!
