Brad2600 #5 Posted August 13, 2003 That's a good haul, Wolfman! Another reason why I need to check the conventions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MegaManFan #9 Posted August 13, 2003 It's all good liquid. Nice pictures of the haul there wolfman! Reminds me of being there last year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Atarinuts #10 Posted August 13, 2003 I had a wonderful time at the convention! It was great meeting lots of AA members and some of us went to dinner after the auction on Saturday night and had a great time! My only complaint was that there weren't enough vendors, and I expected more rare carts there but it was mostly commons except for Cody at Atari2600.com. He had some great stuff and it was cool seeing 3 River Patrol carts in one place. I have to say I got a great deal from him on the things I bought. The swap meet and the auction afterwards were a lot of fun. Everyone had a good time and there were lots of laughs. That was definately where the better stuff was, and on the plus side, things went cheaper there than on Ebay. I still wish I would have bought the A-team proto. I'll go again next year if it's in Vegas, but I don't know if I'll make it to SF. I may skip it for Austin next year. Anyway, thanks to HHwolfman, Tempest, Cassidy, CPUWIZ, Rick and everyone else who made the show fun!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buyatari #11 Posted August 14, 2003 How much did the sealed waterworld sell for? Adam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mayhem #12 Posted August 14, 2003 $330 I believe... more than I was willing to pay for it... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hhwolfman #13 Posted August 15, 2003 Yes Cassidy had a bidding war up too $300 with some one else. I never did figure it who it was. Cassidy said that is more than I want to spend. So Atarinuts to over. LOL he made two bids and it was over. He won it for $330. For a true original sealed Watarworld I think that is great. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mayhem #14 Posted August 15, 2003 That would be me But I figured seeing as I could probably get a normal complete one for half that price, didn't seem point wasting money on the shrink... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MegaManFan #15 Posted August 15, 2003 Damn! Now I remember what I forgot to ask CPUWIZ to look for - a Commodore cartridge port expander. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Atarinuts #16 Posted August 15, 2003 It was $320 actually. I already have one loose to play so I figured I'd go for the sealed one. The shrink on it is definately original, (Confirmed by CPUWIZ) it's still got the plastic hanging tag attached. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ahh, that was you, we were trying to figure out who you were. Cassidy was not happy with you that evening. lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buyatari #19 Posted August 16, 2003 Depending on box condition that sounds like a great price for a sealed waterworld to me. I'd have paid at least $500.00. When is the last time a complete copy sold for under $330.00 on eBay ? Adam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hhwolfman #21 Posted August 16, 2003 That would be me But I figured seeing as I could probably get a normal complete one for half that price, didn't seem point wasting money on the shrink... A complete Water World CIB for $160 LMAO Good Luck. I would buy everyone I found. You might get lucky and find one for around $250. It would have been cool to meet you though. EVen though Cassidy wanted to cut out your tounge. LOL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sku_u #22 Posted August 16, 2003 Wow, Starplex in original box. :Drool: Nice haul. I wish I could have been there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CPUWIZ #23 Posted August 16, 2003 Wow, Starplex in original box. :Drool: Nice haul. I wish I could have been there. You don't even want to know what he paid for it either. I thought it was loose. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mayhem #25 Posted August 16, 2003 Ah... contacts... sales... complete Waterworlds Needless to may be able to acquire one for under $200, but we'll see... As for the auction, well I could have gone as high as I liked, but decided to stop when I realised I would have needed to get money from the (charge happy) ATM to fund it. In the end I needed to get more cash out anyhows, so it was a moot point. Still, just call me Buyatari Jnr Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
