Byte Knight Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 This must be a joke - somebody actually bid $800 on a boxed Oregon Trail on eBay?! https://www.ebay.com/itm/233583698592 And that person still has to pay for shipping! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inflated market value on Apple stuff these days; plus I believe that packaging is pretty hard to find. I have several versions of the game. I'm not even sure if one is official, or not. I'd warrant that my Mabel's Mansion diskette is rarer than that boxed copy of OT, but it isn't as memorable a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got this version of OT in my collection and got it for less than a tenth of that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunty Entity Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Could always be a vendor bid...? I don't really believe it either... seems... OOTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byte Knight Posted May 17, 2020 Author Share Posted May 17, 2020 $600 now - what a deal! I guess bidding on his own item didn't work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enuffsaid Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Just had a look myself. I'm seeing the auction has ended. "Starting bid is US $800" and there are zero bids. Nevertheless, the box and contents seem to be in very good condition. But, no, I'd never pay that much money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
