Title: CIB Air Raid for Atari 2600 found!
Post by: Wempster on October 24, 2012, 12:02:31 PM
I was just emailed this from Game Gavel.  Someone has found a cib copy of Air Raid for the 2600 and has put it up on Game Gavel.  Here is the link to the story.

Ouch. I think the last one sold for around $30k and it wasn't complete.

Got that same email too.  That's pretty insane. And now it's up to $16k.

I really wish I had the wallet to drop five figures on a VCS cart. And a wife that support that decision instead of murdering me.  ;D

I agree with this. If I had the income I would love to go for a CIB Atari 2600 library.

I'd even be happy with just a complete Imagic and Activision CIB library (pre-1985 only).

Same here, I bought the Commodore VIC-20 and later the 64 instead. Not that I'd consider that a step down or anything.

I can probably come up with a few 2600's if someone really wants one. I didn't think it was hard to come by in most places.

And it sold for over $33k.

Wow.  The price managed to double in less than one minute.  Impressive.

it's not that hard to come by, i just haven't really put the effort into finding one yet. i want one but i'm in no real rush to get one :P and plus i don't think i would want to imagine the shipping on a console from the US to Canada D:. thanks for the offer though
