Hello. I am looking for a complete boxed copy of either Halloween or Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I will pay 350 bucks for either one. 8-) Thanks.

Edit title^^ just purchased TCM complete, just wanting Halloween now
would like a much better box though if anyone wants to trade plus cash

350?!?!?!!
I can say personally that TCM is well worth it, I play my copy quite a bit. It's in my VCS top ten games for sure.

I usually post at AtariAge.com. About 1500 posts there and my many references can be found on page 7 of the referred traders list. On ebay I can be found under adams_ale and I have 111 feedback, no negatives. A little info for people never hurts, I suppose. Thanks for the welcome. :)

As for the price Halloween and Texas Chainsaw Massacre are very hard to find in the box. They are only worth about 100 dollars or less for the cart alone. Do you have just the cart or everything complete(mostly rhetorical)?. I'm sure if you had either you would have offered them to me already.

Mine's cart only, but I am sure I wouldn't have offered it to you:) I'm in the market for a loose Halloween myself....and TCM is going nowhere, for no offer.
And yes, thanks for the references.

Thank you. I really appreciate that. :)

As for the games I'll just be patient as I have no other choice and hopefully eventually I can find them. I've sold off a large chunk of my rare games, but those two games are the only two I'm looking for.

I sold a loose Halloween for $80 around a month ago. It seems to be the more valuable of the two. There were bunches of TCMs up for auction last year only a few Halloweens. Someone had an auction with about 10 TCMs from some store room find last year too, which I guess were broken up & resold. Seems like there have been TCMs up almost every month or so on ebay. Boxed complete is an entirely different story though. Hard to determine when a boxed copy will go up for sale. But the last few that have sold, seems Halloween was $300-400 range, and TCM was $200-350. I believe Trade-n-games won a boxed TCM for like $178 last year on ebay. I somehow managed to miss until after it was over. :angry:

But for $350 a pop, if someone owns that's a very fair price to be offering.

i lucked out on finding this one at a garage sale for a $1.the woman used to work at a horror movie magazine and the whole garage sale was full of 1980s horror stuff.being this was over ten years ago i didnt have much money or i would have gone crazy buying her stuff.all i could afford was this,the first issue of fangoria and some shirts.

Just wanted to say I am looing for a loose TCM. If you happen to have to buy two copies of the tgame or something to make a complete one, I'd buy the extra.

I just bought a boxed copy of Texas Chainsaw Massacre on Ebay. The box is in terrible shape, but it's complete and I'm happy enough with that. Perhaps one day I'll sell this copy and buy a better looking box, but for now I'm happy. :)

Buying a loose copy of Texas Chainsaw Massacre shouldn't be too hard. They pop up with some frequency and then you can always get a copy from Atariguide.com or Atari2600.com.
