Military Madness prototype on ebay !

[SuperPlay]

$5,000 bid you say well looks like I will have to bid $6000......

Hold on I have just checked with my bank and allthougth my blalance has a 6 in it is is not 6000,  it is more like $6 ;-)

[TheClash603]

My sarcasm went unnoticed?  $200 is honestly what I would value this at!

Other system review copies sell all the time in the $100-$150 range.

[turbogrfxfan]

Yeah I assume its the same but it would be a plus if it is. What do u guys think is the max bid I should make. Or how much u think it will sell For??

[Necromancer]

$500 was already well over the max I would bid on such a thing.

[turbogrfxfan]

Lol oh nOooooooo. Looks like ill be winnin.

[turbogrfxfan]

Well I think its awesome and would rather have it than magical chase

[RR1980]

haha you never know with an auction there's always some bids at the last 5 seconds

[SignOfZeta]

Well I think its awesome and would rather have it than magical chase

Me too, but there there are a lot of NEC related things I'd rather have than Magical Chase, many of them cost less than $10.

Lolgood pOint

The auction ended at $1,580 !!!
I wonder if the seller has a couple more (different titles) he might auction off. Personally I think that's crazy high price! OK, so who bought?

[nat]

That is a crazy high price. More than the item is worth, IMHO.

I'm surprised that not one else noticed that this was being sold by former Turbo Play Magazine publisher Lee Pappas.  It's even mentioned briefly and a picture shown in this interview with TBD:

So that kind of gives it an extra little bit of coolness.  Too bad it went to someone seemingly outside of the community.

that article is so interseting! The Woz wanted and got a Game Express back in the day! and WTF Axel Rose!? hehe

anyways it's kewl that the seller was a guy that had great contribution to the TG16 community back in the day and I am glad a buyer was willing to pay good money for it.

I wonder if the original artwork for Military Madness and the mint boxed TG16 and PC Engines mentioned in the article will be going on ebay next!?

[turbogrfxfan]

Yeah well looks like I didn't win lol. I felt it was going to stay around five six hundred or it was going to jump like it did. I just hope it goes to the right place. The sold price was way high imo. Its just the times like when my grandfather used to say "I bought that for a nickel".....  Its just what things sell for now and I guess I don't wAnt to accept it or just don't realize how much time has gone by
