Lemmings with a starting bid of 50 Euro

Also think Lemmings should have a rarity of 3 or 4 instead of 6, I frequently see the game in auctions especially here in NL and don't say oh, the pal version is much more common since it's for the lynx

Whatever it's rarity, I never managed to score one while I was collecting for Lynx (and will eventually again). They always went over like $20-30. Mind you, 50 euros is pretty absurd.

That's actually a reasonable price for Lemmings. It was one of the last games released by Atari for the Lynx and is certainly one of the best, so it has the double allure of low production numbers and high playability. Lemmings always seems to sell around the $50USD mark on eBay, but it's actually well worth the price.

 

BTW, all Lynx games are region-free (e.g. no "NTSC" or "PAL" versions). It does seem that it's a bit easier to obtain this title in the Netherlands and Germany than in other countries, though.

Yes, I know its region free just said it because its seems to be such a standard answer to say well the PAL version is more common and since the Lynx is region free nobody can say that this time..oh nevermind

 

Also sounds to me that it seems to be easier to find them in Europe.

I found 3 auctions with this cart on the Dutch Marktplaats:

50 is just to much but the seller has dropped the price to 30 and thats reasonable.

I did offer a lot of lynx lemmings, and they did sell for a lot.

Usually I began with a start bid of 1 euro, that's the best. If you have more than one, put the most complete, like CIB or with manual first, then the loose.

You know why? The guys who didn't get the first one go out and bid on the others. hehehe. If you put the cib last, they all wait for that one, and have usually a price in their head they want to give, so it won't go to like 75 euro, but the loose will go high.

I think the last 2 loose did sel for 35 euro, just like the cib i did put on.
