+sixersfan105 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Can anyone point me in the direction of a rarity guide for Sears Super Video Arcade-branded Intellivision games, if one even exists? I know there are 29 titles in all but I haven't seen any guides which show the Sears-branded games in particular. I also tried searching the forum here on AtariAge to see if there had been any threads made about this topic in the past but came up empty. I'm going to try to collect all 29 and any insight would be greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+stupus Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Backgammon and checkers are the only really hard to find and pricey ones. None if the rest really stand out as hard to find or cost alot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like some sellers are at least TRYING to get $50+ for some of them CIB on eBay and similar sites and others aren't on there at all right now, but I get that it can be a waiting game.

+stupus Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Yeah i think since they are not constantly around some people are trying to gouge on them. Although i think prices have come up a bit. Most used to sell as cheap commond...now i think more people have started on sears. Therr at least was a guy on facebook selling the complete set i think.

+sixersfan105 Posted September 18, 2020 Author Share Posted September 18, 2020 Makes sense. Yeah he's trying to get $900. I'll pass on that haha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+stupus Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Yeah thats high, maybe $500 complete and good shape just to save on shipping a bunch of seperate orders...but $900 is way too much... You could always make an offer to him. Just the 2 rares can run you $200-300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sixersfan105 Posted September 18, 2020 Author Share Posted September 18, 2020 Yeah but then I miss out on the fun of hunting all of the titles down on my own! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+stupus Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Yes, the hunt can be half the fun i totally agree 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 (edited) Just my opinion, but a crude starting point. Backgammon (>$50) Checkers (>$50) Roulette ($15-40) Snafu ($15-40) Frog Bog ($15-35) Sealed commons ($10-30+) Hong Kong Night Stalker ($10+, VHTF) The rest ($5-10+) The higher values of these are fairly proportional to their rarity. If I get some time, I'll try to make a list of rarer/htf commons. Edited September 19, 2020 by JasonlikesINTV Additional info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+BBWW Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Some of these are "aspirational" prices. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humblejack Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 The HK Night Stalker is now $40+ if you can find one, depending on condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I didn't want to over inflate prices. Obviously, many of these can and will go higher. That's why I used > and +, meaning "be ready to pay more". The price of the Hong Kong Night Stalker is likely controlled by less than ~5 people, not that it makes a difference. I personally wouldn't let a decent condition copy slip through for less than $20 ? Most people just don't know about it and few care. Pretty rare, though. I've seen less than 6-10 since I've known about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+JasonlikesINTV Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) Case in point: https://www.ebay.com/itm/324252557687 Sears Snafu listed for $65 OBO. Sold, but no one knows for how much. I'm guessing it probably went for $50-60. Here's a Roulette that went for $35 OBO, so probably $30ish. https://www.ebay.com/itm/133484279622 Edited September 20, 2020 by JasonlikesINTV Added Roulette info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a variant of a variant? Love it haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the US games have the cardboard cart retention in the box. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we should note that Night Stalker is the only one that appears to have been published both ways (and yes, I have one) Mattel versions often have four to six different versions (not counting French Candian, International, Intellivision Inc and Sears versions).
