Pitfallprototype Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Hello all. I new to this site and came here to see who would be interested in my pitfall 2 prototype cart. I see one on eBay for $10,000 and I was wondering the true value of this. Anyone interested please message me. Thanks Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Oberhäuser Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 US$75 to US$125 for a finished review copy, a work-in-progress version about US$200. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitfallprototype Posted October 4, 2014 Author Share Posted October 4, 2014 So the one on eBay for $10, 000 is basically a joke? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSchoolRetroGamer Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 So the one on eBay for $10, 000 is basically a joke? lol YES it is wishful thinking, you see it all the time on Ebay. What things are listed for and what they sell for often completely different. If you are thinking you can do better well then throw it on Ebay with a minimum you would be happy with and let it ride.

Rom Hunter Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Is yours the final version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitfallprototype Posted October 4, 2014 Author Share Posted October 4, 2014 Haven't played it yet. Was just trying to gayer information. What's the difference? The one isn't the whole game and the other is the same as the release? By the way that one on eBay had over 20 offers. I emailed the guy asking ehat his top offer was. He didn't reply lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freewheel Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 By the way that one on eBay had over 20 offers. I emailed the guy asking ehat his top offer was. He didn't reply lol I always like idiot sellers on Ebay that have the "best offer" thing going, but they never actually sell it to the BEST offer. What's the point in allowing offers if you're just going to have a minimum you'd accept anyway? Start an auction at that amount, and see if anyone goes higher. Yeesh. Selling stuff isn't that hard if you have a brain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Climber Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 One of those offers was mine, it was $1 I would guess yours is a review copy, activision was known for not letting WIPs out the door/etc Seeing Pitfall II is a popular title I think you could get up to $200 on a good day, with some patience, but typical price would be in the $100^ range.

CPUWIZ Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I have never seen a Pitfall II prototype, only review copies. Can you imagine what David's prototype may have looked like? LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carey85 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I agree with Crazy Climber's ~$200 assessment. Seeing as Pitfall II is such a wildly popular title only helps add a little additional value to it. It's also safe to say that it's a finished review copy. Personally, I'd let the first $150 offer take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an accurate assessment of value. @original poster You will not buy yourself out of debt with this cart. I bet you crapped your pants when you saw that price.
