Interesting eBay auctions, November/December 2011

Interesting carts and other items from the land of eBay:

1) Music Machine (loose) with manual - $800 - eBay Auction -- Item Number: 270844904062

. Another loose MM sold for $199.99 - eBay Auction -- Item Number: 180765827099

- and yet another was listed starting at $500, didn't sell, and was relisted at $395.99 - eBay Auction -- Item Number: 150716848764

- and twice more at $350 - eBay Auction -- Item Number: 150717402286

- with no sales. And yet another that did not sell for $350 - eBay Auction -- Item Number: 150716188087

. It's raining Music Machines! No, the market is just a bit saturated and the value is properly adjusting. Looks like one finally sold before the year's end for $329.99 - eBay Auction -- Item Number: 200694513479

2) Texas Chainsaw Massacre (loose) with manual - $99.95 eBay Auction -- Item Number: 330636519762

- yet item was relisted later - eBay Auction -- Item Number: 330644888512

- with $149.95 opening and $249.95 BIN, and not surprisingly it did not sell

3) Espial NIB - $158.26 - eBay Auction -- Item Number: 140633029754

4) Another Espial NIB - $89.00 - eBay Auction -- Item Number: 180752586159

5) Demolition Herby CIB - $63.88 - eBay Auction -- Item Number: 220885532156

6) Quadrun (loose) - $117.50 - eBay Auction -- Item Number: 110771903576

- a definite decline in value on these loose carts (although this one was in the US, the influx from Mexico has dragged the value down). Another Quadrun (loose) - $104.48 - [ebay360408931014[/ebay]. And one more for $82.76 - eBay Auction -- Item Number: 250944726439

. And one for $61.76 - eBay Auction -- Item Number: 270863118800

- but the reserve was not met (seller had the same one with a $149 open and $249 BIN).

7) Loose silver label (Atari Club) Gravitar - $16.83 - eBay Auction -- Item Number: 150695706504

- I mention this only because this title occasionally spikes, but really the loose cart is ~ $15 (the correct manual is of course harder to find and the silver box is where the money lies with this one). Later another one with some label damage went for only $7.03 - eBay Auction -- Item Number: 150705148863

from the same seller.

Track & Field CIB - $61.01 - eBay Auction -- Item Number: 170727362245

- what a steal!

9) Sears Math CIB - $25.00 - eBay Auction -- Item Number: 320795361064

- nice!

10) Atari red box release BMX Airmaster, PAL cart with box (box was kind of dinged up), but for only AU $41.00 - eBay Auction -- Item Number: 190601210633

- it was a pretty fine deal.

11) Rather nice Atari 5200 lot with the amazingly rare carrying case went for $249.99 - eBay Auction -- Item Number: 250930216814

12) Swordquest: Waterworld CIB listed initially at $299.99 - eBay Auction -- Item Number: 180766962064

- with no takers and relisted again with no takers. I asked the seller to lower the price, but got the typical "it's RARE d00d!" type response.

13) Jungle Fever / Knight on the Town NIB - $104.05 - eBay Auction -- Item Number: 320809984257

14) One faded label Malagai (loose) - $152.50 - eBay Auction -- Item Number: 260913987251

15) A sadly damaged label Out of Control (loose) only managed to get $50 - eBay Auction -- Item Number: 270871879701

16) Lochjaw (loose) mixed in with other carts and a 2600 - $228.09 - eBay Auction -- Item Number: 290645534276

- so a nice deal with the potential flipping of extraneous goods.

17) A rather intriguing lot: Chase the Chuckwagon CIB + eight other loose copies (!) and loose Quadrun, loose SQ:WW, and Crazy Climber with manual - it hit $910 - eBay Auction -- Item Number: 330658362109

- but did not meet the reserve.

18) empy box lot, but included a Ghost Manor/Spike's Peak and a Coleco DK Jr. - $21.51 - eBay Auction -- Item Number: 160678512299

19) boxed lot of 47 CIB titles, including quite a few Sears, went for only $96 - eBay Auction -- Item Number: 130599384017

- making it a rather fine deal.

20) Primal Rage set of 7 action figures - $142.86 - eBay Auction -- Item Number: 300619847657

- more great stuff from Atari's licensing division. (I was actually kind of interested in these.)

21) Pole Position poster - $26.59 - eBay Auction -- Item Number: 130596475449

- despite this low selling price, Atari posters remain a fairly good item for most sellers. The same seller got $23.09 for a Rescue on Fractalus poster - eBay Auction -- Item Number: 130596483735

- but really did well with a Jungle Hunt at $202.50 - eBay Auction -- Item Number: 130596960205

22) Atari Stargate poster - $37.55 - eBay Auction -- Item Number: 160691415370

- flashy silver highlights, I have to get one of these.

23) A Centipede MPC model NIB - $39.00 - eBay Auction -- Item Number: 260887456737

- a bit high, but a nice item. Later, the seller moved another one for only $16.50 - eBay Auction -- Item Number: 260906493122

. I love these things! (And am still looking for the Missile Command van...)

24) Battery-powered Ms. Pac-Man countertop sign - initially listed at $300 - eBay Auction -- Item Number: 250927634290

- and no sale, it was relisted and sold for $46.59 - eBay Auction -- Item Number: 250943330557

- in open bidding (hmmm, maybe I should've made a move on this one...)

25) Imagic Storage Center in the box - $18.16 - eBay Auction -- Item Number: 110784602611
