Ooops, sorry about that . I thought is seemed a little familiar, but I didn't notice the number when I checked through the posts. I will be more vigilant in the future .

Considering I got 2 of these loose in the same condition as the one in this auction for around $10 US each last year I agree ridiculous!

When it comes to research, there's no substitute for supposition.
And cop that postage amount! |

Damn, I think I'd sell mine for $200+
As for deleting posts, if you don't see a blue 'X' next to the edit button, then you can't delete them (I can't remember how I set up thte forum, I'll have to look...)
If you want something deleted, you can always edit it (like you did), or just put a note in for me to delete it (like I did with that post. ) |

What post did you delete Rik? I missed that one .
I'm not sure how much these are worth, but the starting price seems rather high to me .

Something Dan posted, I never saw the original, he had edited it so it just said 'How do I delete a post, I said something stupid in this one' and that was it... So I just removed it.
Damn, as for those games, I can see that being a fair price. I've never seen Flagman boxed (and I don't remember seeing Fireman boxed, but I have a pic of it on my website, so I saw it somewhere), and the last boxed Toss-Up I saw on Ebay I think went over $1000 (the one pictured on my site I belive).
$5000 might be kind of high, but I could see $3000-3500. Keep in mind, these are also sought after by strict Nintendo only collectors, so that adds a lot more buyers to the pool than just an Entex or Coleco game... |

WOW! Thanks Rik. I didn't realise what some people are prepared to pay for these games...they must be rare. As they are so rare, if anybody is after a Mint Toss Up, have a look at

Yeah, the Mego version (esp. boxed) are usually on all the Game & Watch collector's want lists...
That'll be a good one to watch, let's see if the value for that game has held... |

Wow, there's another good example of a game that's dropped in value... Only got about a $400 bid for that Mego Toss-Up... But I have at least seen 2 or 3 of those on Ebay before, so that probably makes a difference.
(Being a reserve auction might have hurt as well, a lot of people don't bother with reserve auctions... ) |

Yeah, perfect and very near mint, except for the dirt everywhere, the peeling label, the yellowing case, and the tape residue and scratches on the back.
At least it started at $5, though it's already over $20! I hope that's because it's from their TV show, Junkin', on Turner South which I'd check out if I could get it on cable here in the North...
If I couldn't get in trouble for it, I'd email the bidders and ask them how closely they had examined the pics. |

And the sad thing is, I kind of want it just becuase of it's celebrity status... I wish I could get the show somewhere, but I suppose if I win it I can ask the seller for a copy of the show (one would assume he has access to it... ). |
