New User and instant collection (by accident)

Recommended Posts

Dear All,

 

first of all let me introduce myself since this is my first post here.

 

I am Danny, 36 years old husband/father from Holland and "Collector"/Enthousiast for old PC Games (floppy era).

 

The thing is that last week i purchased an unseen leftover stock from an old computergame store hoping to find some of the pc games i love.

 

(By accident) i then found out it contained a lot (over 1000 items) for mainly Atari (also vic-20, Colecovision, commodore and some more platforms). Obviously a LOT of doubles in stock. Mainly all CIB and/or unopened and/or sealed

 

I instantly had a great feeling with this since i can appreciate a good old game collection, so my intention was to keep 1 copy each and sell the rest.

 

The offers were flying at me on the Dutch internet Marketplace within the hour so i basically knew i had to do some research first.

 

I found out that certain items were pretty hard to find (looking at some ebay prices) but lso there were titles i couldn't find (also not on ebay, at least not as CIB or even sealed).

 

I came across this forum looking for a game i couldn't find called Astrowar and saw this topic: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/215089-astrowar-from-dimax-finally-scanned/ (it is this version).

 

So therefore i registered at the forum since i do appreciate collecting videogames overall, if there is something i can help with here (scans/pictures) with any of the games i have please let me know.

 

Also if you guys can help me out what items are the rarest/most valuable i would really appreciate it.

 

1 Thing i know for sure is that i will be spending a lot of time on this forum gathering information since besides old pc-games i think i have found a new "disease" regarding collecting :D

 

Hereby some pictures of the main stuff (everything that stands in front has a copy of the same title behind it, so f.e. Springer is there 2x4 times).

First you have to separate the Atari 2600 VCS stuff from the Atari 8-bit computer stuff (For example Springer, VCS or 8-bit version)

Then take stock on how many of each.

If you need any help don't hesitate to contact me.

 

Hello,

 

thank you very much, i think i will start selling in 2-3 weeks, once i have sorted everything i will send you a list.

 

I opened my ebay shop from back in the days again and put some stuff up at (hat i thought) were ridicilous prices but there were already offers coming close to those numbers.

 

So i will wait until i have sorted all things out. I will definitely ask around by you or on the forum, thanks since i prefer it 1000 times better that stuff i dont need in my collection to go to the real collectors then to dealers.

There is stuff I haven't even heard existed. But even the common items: so many in such good condition is an Insane haul these days. I would also be interested in having a look at the 2600 list once you have it sorted. High Voltage may have first picks, though.

Howdy,so hereby a first attempt for a list.

 

I'll put the selling on hold a bit since i was contacted by siërra online museum and 2 other sites that it had some items they didn't have scans,pictures and/or info about yet.

 

As a collector myself it only feels right to first help out o complete some archives etc. before í start selling them.

 

So hereby i first attempt for the list that has the main things i think ( i don't know if it contains all info needed, since i know there are multiple versions of each game out there abviously (like that Astrowar game that guided me to this forum), but don't know what to look for exactly yet)
