Congo Bongo for Intellivision

[Atari 5200]

Anyone know what Congo Bongo is going for these days?

[vintagegamecrazy]

Probably roughly $100 or so, maybe a few bucks more with the manual. Actually if you are trying to unload it I may be interested. PM me for details, I'm more interested in the box since I have the game and manual. I have some good stuff to trade too.

I wish the Atari cart was worth that much, have one sitting 3 feet from me haha

Loose cart? About $100. Boxed? Maybe $450 or so, less without the manual. The box is one of the rarest for the system.

boxed Congo's aren't worth anything near $450. Put it on Ebay and you'll see, still valuable but not that valuable.

Unless something has seriously changed in the last two years that's what they used to fetch. There was one on not too long ago that went into the upper $300's IIRC and one a few years back that went for around $800 (although that was crazy). Then again most rare game prices are down these days so $250-$300 may be a more reasonable estimate. It's worth more than $100 though.

I saw one a year or so go for only $150 complete on the bay and I'd imagine that they did come down since then. Maybe you're right though.

[Tempest]

$150 for a complete Congo Bongo? Damn, had I know I would have jumped all over that. Simply amazing...

I agree that there's no way a CB copy would fetch $450 these days, Intellivision prices are at an all time low. Still might go for $100-150, you never know. List it on an auction site and see what kind of interest develops.

Intellivision prices are at an all time low.

Except for the 5-6 titles I need to complete my collection that is...

$100???

Tempest had the right idea, I didn't think it would be this high but $100 isn't even remotely close.

That's exaggerated. The guy was selling a monstrous INTV collection and selling stuff like that always creates higher end values. The dl-collectibles and intimidator-77 NES sales come to mind.

Completely agree 100%, Castlevania4ever's proto sales and Justabum's NES collection sell outs came to mind for me. Regardless, I have a tough time thinking this one is a $100 title rather than a $450 title if the last (inflated) sale was $700+.

Just my 2 cents.

Here's a CIB copy that is currently listed on eBay:

It's already over $100 with a full four days left on the auction. This should give a true indication of the games value, but as you can see it is obviously worth at least $100+.

yez, but it started at $99 so in 3 days it hasn't went up that much, and now with this advertisement it will probable go for more than I can pay

And it sells for $465.

Looks like there are a few people here that have some crow to eat.

That statement was made before the big INTV auctions. This auction was likely fueled by that last one (and it may have been posted solely because of it). I'd say Tempest's estimate of $250-$300 will be the going range next time we see one.
