Tiger Handhelds - What's up with the prices?

[Antimind]

I haven't been adding to my collection in about 10 years. I started looking over different sites where I used to purchase Tiger Handhelds from. The prices are insane! I'm just curious.. Is anyone actually paying these? When I was collecting hardcore, prices were like $0.25 - $5 per loose handheld and $10 - $40 sealed. There were occasions when a  rare title would pop up and the prices were higher. Today I'm seeing average prices of $5 - $40 listed for loose handhelds, and quite a bit more for sealed.

Seriously, 2 people watching this auction. As much as I love Tiger I'll be damned if I would pay anything close to that, even if I could afford it.

and this is just funny. I have 2 of them. One sealed, one open.

EDIT: I looked through every Tiger auction on Ebay. None of the truly rare handhelds are up. Nothing I don't own either. I badly want to know if people are actually paying these completely insane prices.

Some are:

Prices on almost everything have gone up... In most instances however if i own it it has significantly dropped in value.

I've noticed that eBay has auctions listed in the "sold" section but where not actually sold. "Seller removed because it was no longer available" apparently = sold. Which could be used in an effort to inflate prices.

Ouch Terz that's some shite luck you have!

Thanks BTW, I didn't know this existed (already submitted to database):

Awesome! You're my new fav person then...lol

My collection is quite large. You wanna know what I have? Go look at the database for Tiger handhelds. I added everything I own...lol

EDIT: There's maybe 2-5 titles that I don't own that are in DB. I also have a few Tiger catalogs.

We get a few that come into the game store. I think we do $5 for common and $10 for popular. Like ninja giaden or something

Technically, I believe that's Micro Games, not Tiger.

[russlyman]

This is true. Some guy came in with a whole bunch. We only took a few in

Hi, went to a swap meet here in Munich and discovered at one stall two LCD handhelds. I collect games but I don't have a focus on LCD handhelds. Nonetheless, one peaked my interest and I bought it from the elderly couple.

It is a Tiger Electronics LCD handheld game called Masked Rider (TV Series). After cleaning and testing it (it works), I went online to find some info.I know, that Tiger Games were quite popular, but I cannot find anything about this specific game (e.g. not in the RF Generation DB or at handheldmuseum.com).

It has a 1996 TM and Copyright from Saban.

Now I found this thread, thought it might be of interest for you guys. Does any one of you know this game?

@Antimind: If you added all your Tiger Games, than you're missing this one ;-)
