Atari 2600 Trades

Hey folks, 

 

Well... the Atari market has got very strange since I was actively collecting and trading 7-10  years ago,  wish  I kept my 10 copies of ET and it seems the common classics are out running the rare games. 

 

I have paid good money for some less common titles and I am hoping to trade for  nice CIB copies of Space Invaders, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr? Demon Attack  H.E.R.O (you never know ;  )  and the usual classics.

I am in the U.K but most games are region free ; although I think play 16% faster and obviously the colours are not right on games like River Raid and Pitfall etc  that have hugs blocks of colour. 

 

Willing to consider any decent sealed games and E.T CIB would be great  (in any condition) and I am  also happy to  buy CIB games if  the trade isn't for you. 

 

I have  loseo "Star Strike", "Wing War" (original not Hozer), and I think a rare U.S.A made multi cart but oddly has some official PAL games and a few hacks.

 

I know people are asking silly money for common V-shapes and Taiwan Mini Cooper etc but we al know which are more common than others 

 

I have not seen a huge amount of these SuperVision  games and they  are on a high quality cartridge  with "Made in the U.S.A"  embossed, I like the pink and blue carts and I have great 4-in-1 which has River Raid (appears PAL  with  Galaga written at the bottom, seems to be  a normal PAL Pitfall as all the colours are correct , Spider Kong, (Spider Maze, Spider Monster etc) and a Homevision game which is  I forget the name of? 

 

Anyway, happy to pay postage for the boxed games on offer in a trade as that will hit you more than me posting this little guy.    

 

I value my cart at around $50 , I would trade for a boxed E.T. as those are fetching £50 and I sold my collection years ago and lost some of it in a building collapse  so it pains me to be looking for a copy of ET now all the hipsters and prob Netflix have driven the price up, oh,,,and of course the   desert landfill doc. 

 

 

I will upload Wing War soon...off to bed. I know the world is on fire! it's the apocalypse but maybe some of us are still doing nerdy things to keep occupied and sane!

 

Let me know what classic games you can offer for these 2 for now?  I   think  $80   of trades on these 2 in my  humble  (& not expert anymore) opinion;  depending on the game  and condition as Star Strike (PAL) has a $30 value without greed.  

 

Also  interested in loose cart bundles of less common NTSC  titles like: Star Trek, Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon, Turmoil, Worm War I, &  Beanie Bopper etc are held in high regard over the this side of the pond so what might be a $8-$10 game to you i more like $15-$20  over here because of the postage and the dreaded eBay Global Shipping Programme! 

 

Night, keep playing Atari

Thanks Dave, It's been a weird 5 or so years, I don't recall. I got diagnosed with Autistic Spectrum Disorder, I suppose something like Asperger's, probably why I have specialist interests;  something to do with Hyper-focus and is a skill really,  Just not so much in social groups ha. I hope you are well, i'm trying to start collecting and trading again to help with bills. 

Hope you and your family are safe and well, I am still alive (obviously)

 

Nice to hear from you : )
