CrazyChris Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Anyone know if this package is missing the cartridge or is it just a stand alone box release? Air Cars Atari Jaguar aircars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Dangerous Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 It says in the description: "NO GAME CARTRIDGE!!!!! NO GAME CARTRIDGE!!!! NO GAME CARTRIDGE!!!! UNFOLDED BOX AND MANUAL ONLY WITH GAME OVERLAYS" Pretty greedy asking price considering you can buy the actual game and manual for $74 brand new right now.

Rick Dangerous Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Where at? KA version?? No not the KA version, haha, i'm still looking for that one too.. ICD Aircars, $70 cart and manual, the box is an aftermarket creation and was never made by ICD http://www.myatari.com/atarijag.txt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlantis Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I would go for two of those to my Jaglink ICD Aircars carts, at normal price.What market is this pointed towards, when 95% of the Jag community hate this game??I like it (lets say 3 out of 5), but this auction is just evil.

Atlantis Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Those behind KA should make another run. With paper boxes this time, keeping the two batches unique. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willard Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 lol that's terrible for a custom made set. Maybe if it were from an actual case of original packaging that never made it to market or something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyper_Eye Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I messaged him about it a couple of weeks ago and noted that the original rare release did not include a box and that the actual complete game can be obtained for less than half his asking price. He did not respond. If you have seen his author auctions you know his prices are consistently ridiculous. He's the new SS4U. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyper_Eye Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=sweetsstuff4u Most Jaguar vets know who he is. He was one of the first, and possibly the most consequential, Atari Jaguar speculators on eBay and he wasn't shy about his motives. He would tell you, in all caps, he is into Jaguar for THE MONEY. He absolutely believed everyone else was as well. He pretty much single-handedly caused Jaguar prices to skyrocket during his time on eBay. He bid on absolutely everything common and rare. He horded the items and then listed them on eBay for extravagant prices. He would charge ridiculous rates for shipping and then package as cheaply as possible. He would screw people over in a number of ways. Then he would get offended and threaten legal action if anyone called him out for his despicable actions. He would insult people on eBay and in the community. He's hard to forget. So maybe it's a little strong to say this guy is a new SS4U but he certainly appears to be another Jaguar speculator which continues to do damage to the community and the ability of average people to collect Jaguar items. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
032-Bias Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 (edited) When people put Jag stuff up for ridiculous prices it makes me feel a lot of negative emotions... (Warning, possibly strong opinions incoming) It's always "fun" to watch stuff like the Aircars box and other stuff float for months on end on eBay since a lot of people will not pay the price they ask for. Stuff like: http://www.ebay.com/itm/252175225369?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Or when they actually sell or finally end the listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/201470197113?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT http://www.ebay.com/itm/262139346715?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT I just hope the potential buyers didn't get too gouged on the price And my favorite is when an item comes back around for a higher price or because the seller thinks it's worth more than gold. Watched this Brain Dead 13 go from 200 to 250 and it still sits with only me watching: http://www.ebay.com/itm/391322090041?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT And this Pro Controller that I tried to work with the guy and got an interesting reply: http://www.ebay.com/itm/291618264075?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT "I've seen these new in box sell for over $400 this past year. I'm in no rush to sell it and even reluctant to sell it to be honest. What's your best offer? I think $300 shipped is he lowest I'll go at this time. Thanks " I like the fact that they didn't come off as mean or anything, but seriously. $400 for a pro controller, even if you happen to have a new in box, is just crazy. Maybe I'm just venting and talking out of my ass here, but it really pisses me off when people mark up anything more than it is worth and say "someone will buy it". I almost bitched out an employee at my local retro game store when he said that when I was complaining about prices to my friend that works there. That mentality is why retro gaming is seeing prices skyrocket on some items and is the mentality resellers and scalpers thrive on.

Gaztee Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 (edited) I still sell those box sets, so if anybody wants one for £8 plus postage PM me please. My set does not include the manual, but I have been thinking of reprinting that with a proper cover. Think I should maybe stick some on eBay?? Only $190 free p&p worldwide Edited December 4, 2015 by Gaztee 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorclu Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 (edited) The box didn't sell for $200, so now it is relisted for $189. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Air-Cars-Atari-Jaguar-aircars-/161922424815? My thoughts on ebaying? To me it depends on how much I wanted to get rid of something depended on the price. There was once I had a spare of something that I kinda liked. Someone wanted it, I charged him double price (which to me translates to "I am not so much wanting to sell but if you really want it...." ) and the person actually did want it that bad. Had no problem paying it since it was a out of production item. So if someone wants a box badly enough to pay $200 for it, and here's the kicker, if there are not others available to compete with that price, then guess what, the option is a $200 box. Luckily in this case Aircars THE GAME and box can still be bought cheaper. Edited December 20, 2015 by doctorclu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minux Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 As others stated, none of this was included in the original ICD release. When I unloaded my duplicates, the seller contacted me numerous times about off site sales not through eBay. It is one thing if it is a kid that does not have a lot of money. Something could be worked out. When it is a reseller, it is laughable that I would drop all my listings and sell to them. We'd both go after the same buyers market. I wouldn't but a thing from him.

+madman Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 People who flip on EBay for a living have ruined this hobby. Although yeah there are other factors too, the glory days were back on Usenet where people ran their own auctions via email. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although yeah there are other factors too, the glory days were back on Usenet where people ran their own auctions via email. eBay prices used to be a deal. I received a pair of Beats headphones recently and threw them on eBay. I sold them right around MSRP. I was quite happy. 20 years ago, when eBay was fresh, I may have got 30% of retail. If it hit 40%, that would have been something. The final 12% chop between eBay and PayPal makes it hard to sell for a reasonable price and make any money.

raddek Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Any opinions on the recent ebay auction of the Aircars cartridge that just sold ? Only $59 for a seemingly original copy (non B&C release) seems like a good catch if someone is wanting to collect an original release rather than a reproduction. Worth it ?

Xgames Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I scanned ebay frequently here as of late trying to catch up on my collection i never seen that aircars listing must of hit and missed that one.Would like to see the link myself i had to break down and got mine from lukie games at that time though i was unaware B&C sold them for that price.

Trooper Galactus Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I'd like to get a copy of Air Cars just to fill out my collection, but more concerned with games I might actually want to play. Just got a copy of Power Drive Rally CIB on eBay, and that pushes me to 40 cartridge games total, all CIB, plus about ten CD games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xgames Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) Ya thats my next thing im at around 35 carts and missing 13 boxes and manuals out of that so i am hunting for them one by one sometimes i may find a good deal on ebay and speaking of which i am trying to get power drive rally now.I just ordered the protector SE and expansion and i ordered a copy of hyper force.But my ebay finds for yesterday when scanning ebay out was I-war, Bubsy, and ruiner for $10 each which i already owned them all, but i couldn't pass up those prices for doubles maybe i can work a deal with them ^^.But the kicker is the same guy i got those three carts off of sold me 2 controllers for $20 so in any event it was a win win for me.As for cart games i am currently trying to find Another world for the Jag but will probably never find that again at a decent enough price i seen it on ebay for astronomical amounts .
