That definitely looks like a reasonable price for a Coleco rarity...what did the other auctions go for?

they haven't ended yet. one of them is for qubes with the box (last checked it was at 41 and reserve unmet). Another one loose was going for under 20 bucks at last check (the auction doesn't end today).
here they are:

Wow, $100 for a boxed R8...that seems like a steal to my Neo Geo-addled brain LOL
The cart actually looks much nicer on that one too, imo. Though I can't tell if it's because the label seems to be flatter on the surface or what.

yeah that's why I was so excited to get that neo-geo and 5 games at a thrift store for 35 bucks a couple of months ago. I parlayed it into some nice stuff for my CV collection. CV stuff is very reasonably priced when compared to neo :D

Mmmm the box looks mega nice, minty minty, if you buy cart only for $40 i guess a boxed one for $100 is not all to bad, still alot of money, but it is a R8.

getting that game boxed for 100$ is a 'deal' in my opinion... i didnt check if it came with a manual or not.
i would say that is a reasonable price for that item if its in nice shape-
in my opinion the game is worth (in excellent shape, complete) between 100 and 175 $, depending on how much interest there is at the time.

yeah, no manual. Just the box. For a true collector, having all 3 is a must. for a poor sob like myself, I'm just glad to get the game loose at a good price.
