RANT: Overpriced games

[Nateo]

There was an ad in the Democrat and Chronical and read, Video games and systems, from 1976-1983. So I call the number, and I asked how much he was selling his 2600 games for. The following is not for those with weak stomachs: $30 dollars for one game (and his collection was just abunch of 3's or under.) He was selling his Pong console for $450 dollars. His Atari 2600 with 30 games for $350. His NES with two conrollers and Duck Hunt for $60. He says that these are serious collectors items. I told him that they really weren't worth that much, and he started yelling at me. Needless to say, I won't be buying from him.

Good for you. I would have pointed out some sites to him to make him aware that collectors of Atari items have a pretty good knowledge base of the value of items and were not likely to buy things at the price that he was expecting.

Ah well. That would have been a good idea, but oh well. I don't see his ad in the paper anymore... I think his one week ad has ended.
