Sealed Donkey Kong

Looks like Tim is listing one of his extra grails:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260268969039

I've bought and sold from him before, he's a great guy to deal with.  The asking price seems ridiculous, but considering some other sealed black box sales, who knows.

    Is this like a classic series or something or is it the first pressing? I remember this seller. Hes been at it a while. I couldnt ever get him to respond to my E-mails.

    ^ No - the word "classic" shouldn't even be in there... it's just going to confuse the heck out of some people.
  • the_wizard_666the_wizard_666
    Just a thought...that box is non-hangtab...there is likely a 3-screw cart in there...
  • XedXed

    What is it, the pic won't load in for me image

    It's just Donkey Kong black box - i.e. "Arcade Classics Series". Pic shows it sealed with hangtab. Seems like a proper factory seal.

    ooooo nice!

    My guess is that atwood thinks Bronty still needs this one and priced it high in hopes to tempt Bronty....just guessing cause I have no idea really, lol. Can't be an easy item to find, first one I have seen.

    I have a feeling the Best Offer button is the main star of this auction.

    25 cent auction month. why the hell not put up some!



    i talked to this dude on AIM. he told me he has factory sealed cases (6-packs) of tons of games. he also told me he had a factory sealed 6-pack of stadium events but told me he didnt have any pics of it. haha. he did show me pics of tons of factory sealed shit. like 6 donkey kongs or something like that. ridiculous!
  • TheFrisbeeTheFrisbee
    six of THESE!?
  • NationalGameDepotNationalGameDepot
    atwood is a crazy hardcore sealed collector and I know for a fact he does have cases sealed of lots of games. A case of SE is pretty hard to swallow IMO but...

  • srh201srh201
    no fuckin way with the SEs, but the DKs... YESSSSSSS!



    i dont think he is a collector though, is he? he seemed like a dude who found a warehouse. simple as that.
  • srh201srh201
    jason, check your PMs for a nice pic! image
  • NationalGameDepotNationalGameDepot
    I am pretty sure he is a collector. I think he is a very close second to Bronty on having a full set of sealed games, not sure how many he is missing though.

    ~~NGD
  • blarkyblarky
    Tim is a collector for sure. I sold him a sealed Dragon Warrior III back in 2003.

  • srh201srh201

    You're right, it does.... nice catch.
  • Little SamsonLittle Samson
    Is it just me, or does that listing page have a lot of the standard eBay text in red instead of black? Must be some unclosed <span> tags in the HTML for his listing or something...
  • blarkyblarky
    Yeah all of his auctions in the past have had that red text. I'm not sure how he does it, but I would suspect something along those lines.
  • pedro!pedro!
    this is where the red text comes from in his source code.

    I bet some people would put up a second mortgage on their house for a chance at a case of sealed SE's.
  • projectingstarsprojectingstars
    No way does he have a sealed case of SE...



    And he really has more sealed games than you, Bronty? I'm not referring to dups, btw.
  • NOFRIENDO-bannedNOFRIENDO-banned
    I think he meant a sealed 6 pack of SE.....But I still call B.S.I think he has a sealed F2 also.
  • mb7241mb7241
    I dunno entirely if I'd call BS on the SE 6-pack. Atwood has been in the game longer than probably 1/4 of us put together, lol image . 'Tis a shame this Donkey Kong isn't in auction format...it would've been nice to see the action (that is, as long as one of the graders didn't get a hold of it).

    that's what he claims, I have no reason to doubt - he was already many years in when I started
