rare/valuable games to watch out for

Not really. It says ULTRA RARE right on the page!

That's ultra rare?  I just gave my CIB copy to Duke......biggest mistake of my collecting career.

A good rule of thumb on Atari 2600 games is grabbing those that look different/odd if you can get them for under a few bucks each.  I know that sounds like a pathetic answer, but there are so few games made by Atari and Sears that are rare, while other companies such as Tigervision, Spectravision, etc. have strange looking carts and tend to be the more valuable.

I don't really know where else to put this but I wish I was paying attention to the Suikoden II auctions lately.

Only 2 bids on that, its a bit more than FMV for the game itself but the strategy guide! Oh man the strat guide! The lowest recent sale for the guide is $25, and most are in the $50 range.

Would have been nice to get that, sell the game, and mostly break even.

All kidding aside, I seem to remember the rare 5 screw Silent Service cart selling for around $80 on NA about a year ago.

It was sold for $60 shipped in late 2011.
