Sealed Atari Jaguars on Ebay

[TrekMD]

Well, if anyone is looking for a brand new and sealed Atari Jaguar, here you go:  NTSC Brand New Sealed J8001 Atari Jaguar Video Game System Console.  Just be ready to pay a pretty penny.

Wow!  I'd love one.  Someone must be wanting everyone's stimulus checks lol.

Spendy!

Unreal!

What?!

[TrekMD]

Yep, I had a similar reaction, hence why I wanted to share the auction.  😉

[RickR]

On second thought...it's not too bad a price -- it's only $1 per "Where did YOU learn to fly?" on a game of Cybermorph. 

[Atari 5200 Guy]

"Where did YOU learn to fly?"  Her mama taught me 😄 Hey...the person selling it is called "HappiestSellEver".  Well, if I sold all of them at $1,600 each I'd be happy, too.

[Justin]

These all appear to have sold. Unreal.

I don't doubt that they all sold at all, Justin. People are desperate for a collector's item, even an Atari Jaguar or two. I hope that these folks had the money to pay it. Paying $1,600.00 a Jag is expensive for sure.

I was keeping an eye on them out of curiosity. The timing of the $1,600 Jags coincidentally corresponds with the stimulus check payouts. Prior to the stimulus checks being deposited only one had sold despite the auction having been up for a few weeks. Within a week or two of the first stimulus checks being deposited all the $1,600 Jags were snatched up. Interesting.

I stopped following them, figuring they'd never sell.  I can't believe they sold for that absurd price!

[DegasElite]

I can see why they were priced like that. Wasn't it only 250,000 Jaguars that were made? Plus, only 10,000 CD units were made for it, from my recollection. Very rare stuff. Absurd yes, but I can see it nonetheless.

[DegasElite]

I am just going by hearsay about the availability. I could be wrong.

I paid about $150 for a boxed Atari Jaguar about 5 years ago...

When the Jag was still on the retail market, I got one for $99.95. But, that was twenty-five years ago or so.
