how much would you pay for a H.E.R.O.???

[inextremis staple]

Hmmm??

 

I really like this game and one of my dealers here in town has it for $15 bucks I think. It's the only time I've seen this game so I have nothing to compare it to. I usually tend to spend no more than $5 on a cart and that's done me pretty well so far. Just lookin for some input. Thanks.

$15 is a bit steep, but in my opinion it IS the best game for the 2600. I'd say you'd want to see how much Actiplaque the label has on it.

 

I wouldn't think twice about paying $10 for H.E.R.O. though, even if there's Actiplaque, as long as the label isn't torn.

$15 is perhaps a little steep but it's a pretty sought after game so it's not completely off of the mark. Like Room 34 said, you'll want to check on the condition first. Plus, if it comes with a manual I'd say go for it.

[dykesr]

Like every body else that has posted here says $15 is to much but in my opinion if you want it and it is in good condition, get it!!

Heathen! Then you have not played the eternally great Montezuma's Revenge! (Which I am working on a disassembly of right now. RAM cart/CC2 owners can simply change the byte at $05EC in the ROM image from 02 to 00 to enable immortality. That was the first time I was able to get to the "bonus level" room.)

 

$15 for H.E.R.O is maybe a bit steep. I'd have to agree about $10 being a better price. But he's the one doing the selling, so he's the one that gets to set the price.

[taxman]

Maybe the price is negotiable. Try offering $10 and see if he takes it.

[StanJr]

$12 is what I see it at most often.

 

$15 is not out of control, I'd just go on and pay it, its HERO for the love of Mike.

[Stingray]

I'd pay $15 for it, but that's about the high end of how much I'd be willing to spend.

I paid $20 US combined for both HERO and Private Eye so I guess I spent $10 on HeRo.

Oh, a related question on this topic: What do Tapper and Spyhunter go for on average. I'm not registered on ebay and APPARENTLY they changed it so you have to be registered to check completed auctions. Stupid ebay!

Am I just the cheap bastard that won't go over 3 Euro's + shipping for H.E.R.O.? Must be because I'm Dutch. I'm still after the PAL version in the special artwork, I already have one, but it's a PAL Activision text white label re-issue. Oh well, I'm sure I will come across it some time for not too much.

[candiru]

I've been looking for this one too. I try to be pretty cheap on my Atari purchases, but I'd be tempted to give $15 for a copy I could get locally. You'd be lucky to pay less than $10 on ebay, then $2-3 on shipping if you're lucky, then wait around for a week or more hoping it gets to you without any problems. Yeah, I'd probably go for it unless the label is really trashed.

I got a H.E.R.O the other day with NO actiplauqe and minty Instructions for $1. Just thought I would rub it in!

Good thing I sent you on that DC wild goose chase or you wouldn't have spotted it!

Who's Mike?

I agree that it is one of the better games for the system. If it's CIB then I think it's a great deal. However $15 for it loose is a little steep. It's fun to play though

[shining slade]

I've got a B/W manual for this game. Anyone have any idea which cart label version this came with? I've seen the color one before but I got the B/W one in a manual lot. Just curious if anyone knows

[video game addict]

I've got $40 for a complete copy if someone wants to sell me theirs

 

Must be NTSC, must be minty

Blue label, most likely.

[povlok1]

Ive sold this game SEVERAL times for the $20 mark.. $15 and no shipping charge (and being to see that game as you buy it) is not bad deal at all.. most of us in here are hard'r core collectors and tight'asses as well:) if the label is clean.. 15 is fine.. 20 is top buck, 10 is a 'value' deal.. anything less is robbery;)

[Big Player]

I paid $19 for H.E.R.O. five or six years ago. I'd pay that again if something happend to my copy. It is the best game for the 2600.

 

Montezuma's Revenge is in the top 10 of all time greats for the system though.

[D.Yancey]

I can't believe I read this whole thread! I'd pay it for a good cart like HERO!

[sku_u]

$15.00 is fine for a HERO cart. If you tried Ebay, you'd probably end up paying about that much or even a little more after factoring shipping into the equation.

Tapper: avg. of 10 dollars plus shipping

Spy Hunter: avg. of 16 dollars plus shipping

 

Both very fun games and worth the price.

[AtariLeaf]

There are no Spy hunters on ebay currently, but there are two tappers and as of this posting they are both in the $14.50 and $15.50 US range. Not bad but they're probably going up with a couple days left.

[StanJr]

Tapper in good condition is EASILY a $15+ game. Its a 6 rarity and that is underrated. Its also an incredible game. You are most likely to find it $20+

 

Spy Hunter is harder to find and I've seen it low at $30.

 

adams_ale, I'd LOVE to know where you are buying these games that they are this cheap! ebay?
