After I get all copies of Boulder Dash 2600 shipped, I'm going to put together a large run of Halo 2600 carts, with manuals and boxes for those who want them.

My prayers have been answered!

Allan: Sorry, yes, this one is no longer for sale. There was a deal pending that went through last minute unexpectedly. This is the only item that had a potential buyer.

I realize this is a pull-the-rug-from-under you. Again, my apologies. If you bid/win any other item, I will refund your shipping on first item, second item half price, fourth+ free shipping.

I got all excited about the gate-fold lot. I have been waiting patiently for Basic Math gate-fold to complete my collection. But alas, the wait continues.

I've sold an extra cart only for $30 shipped before so that's only an extra 10 bucks or so. Mean 18 isn't worth that much and I've had quite a few of them. I don't really think it's the rarest 7800 game no matter what kind of price it brings. But, everyone has their own opinion on rarity.

As you say, it is a matter of opinion, and I would add relative perspective. $30-ish is what I was expecting to sell it for. You mention "$10 bucks or so" more for yours, and that relatively isn't a lot of money, but percentage-wise, a $30 sale price is a 76% higher price than what I got for mine.

Don't get me wrong, I am not crying over this sale, but I do feel it is one of, if not the rarest game carts for the 7800. Atariage lists this as a 7 rarity, which ties it with Tank Command as the rariest. When I was trying to complete my collection, Mean 18 CIB was the hardest to find.
