    OK, boxed Triple challenge, good. But this lot is NOT worth $600, that's just nuts.

    It did end pretty high but there's a few nice items in that lot. I probably would have guessed in the $350.

    Complete copies of

    Truckin'
    Commando
    White Water
    Chip Shot Golf
    Diner
    Ice Trek
    Triple Challenge

    Intelli doesn't GO that high on ebay though. I edited your quote to include prices I've seen those games for complete and/or sealed in the past few years. I think I've even sold them complete before for those prices (except triple challenge)

    Diner has been going for $40-$50, or so I thought.

    Depends if they really push the "sequel to burgertime!" in the title or not

    The prices that you have listed are a little low. If you want to sell me some of those games boxed for the prices that you have listed I will take my chance reselling them.

    I believe that part of the reason that this auction went so high is because ladyofvines bid on it. She isn't liked in the Intellivision community and a number of collectors will bid up an auction just so that she can't win it or so that she will have to pay more than its true value.

    Wow What did she do to make people dislike her that much?

    Probably some inane reason like "OMGZ U SNIPER I HATe UU".

    But seriously, it's probably because she bids to win instead of lowballing and praying for a deal.

    Speaking of sniping, damn these people really need to learn to snipe. This thing probably would have went for hundreds less. Every single one of those bidders (other than the first) went back and re-bid higher.

    Sniping gets REAL OLD when you bid on so many auctions. I've ACTUALLY sniped one auction in the past few months (out of well over 100 auctions won, and thousands of bids)
