Colecovision going high?

Recommended Posts

I'm new at collecting colecovision games. Some games sell for crazy prices. :| Example a double ender game like this can sell between $30 or $100 ++ depending of the condition. Boxed games can bump the price a lot. It's all about the labels and boxes. :roll:

Oddly enough CV Xonox carts sometimes go for absurd prices (and almost always for about double what the Atari counterparts go for). I think this is the highest I've ever seen one go though. Throwdini strikes again...

This is one of the rarer Colecovision games.  I still need this for my collection.

I looked threw my DP guide and Video Game Collector and my list and I think this is not a Colecovision game. I know there is a single ender of both games for colecovision but I thought there was only 1 double ender cart for colecovision? I took a picture of my 2 Atari versions. The cart on left is my PAL version and the right one is my NTSC.

It was released for Colecovision; I had it at one time over a year ago. Oddly enough, the label does say Colecovision (it's too long and contiguous to say "Atari 2600") but the cart shape looks like a 2600. Probably the angle...

There are 2 double enders for the Coleco. I have the one but I still need the other one.

There are 3 CV double-enders: Chuck Norris/Artillery Duel, Sir Lancelot/Robin Hood, and Motocross Racer/Tomarc the Barbarian . I had the first two but never managed to get my hands on the last -- that one's the rarest of the lot (rated R9 by DP; even SL/RH is only an R6 by DP standards)

Ok I think this is an Atari 2600 game but seller says its Colecovision? Now whats weird about this is the price! whats going on? Take a look at some of the other games this seller had most went way to high IMO.

There were *three* (not two, or one, as has been indicated above) XonoX double-enders released for the ColecoVision. Two of the three (Lancelot/R.Hood and Tomarc/Motocross) are absurdly hard to find, and are in all likelihood the two rarest "regular release" titles for the CV. In a "good" year, you're likely to run across two or so copies of either, at most. DigitPress puts values on them in the $150 ballpark, but by my estimation, that is actually a bit low for either in decent shape.

 

$150 for Lancelot/R.Hood in sound state? As far as I'm concerned, that would be a no-brainer buy. I can say with certainty that this isn't the most a copy of this game has fetched on eBay by any stretch. Given bidder interest in this particular auction, it's clearly hanging out in the neighborhood of $125, at the least.

 

I would also add that it's nowhere near the high-water mark for a single-game ColecoVision sale in the past few years on eBay. Heck, a pair of CGE Atarisoft rereleases just went for ~$175 each last weekend... :)

You are right. I still need two of the double enders.

That one [Tomarc/Motocross is] the rarest of the lot (rated R9 by DP; even SL/RH is only an R6 by DP standards)

If the DP has SL/RH at R6, they're just plain wrong. I've actually seen slightly more copies of Tomarc/Motocross than Lancelot/Hood in the past few years.

 

Checking the DP online rarity guide, I see that Lancelot/Hood is rated R9 along with Tomarc/Motocross ... which pretty much matches up with my personal experience. Don't mean to be a booster, but an R6 it's not. :)

152$ is actually a good price for RH/SL in that great condition. Also the seller has an exceptionnal feedback rating.

 

MR/TB is the rarest double ender selling for about 210-260$ depending on condition. It is the rarest to find colecovision item. The box and manuals for this item are rarer than the atari version, in fact, I have never heard of anyone anywhere who claimed to have them in their collection.

 

CN/AD is the common double-ender of the three and rarely sells for more that 40$ even in the best of circumstances.

I'll then make that claim for my own collection. I believe that Will Berdan could probably also make that claim.

I'd actually peg it at $60 in the best of circumstances these days, with $40 as the minimum -- though from how I've seen it perform on eBay the last couple years, if I were selling one, I wouldn't count on the $60 end of that scale.

I guess I should put this seller`s name in my favorite seller`s list. He seems to have very cool stuff in his auctions :cool:
