I can't believe it, I found a Star Castle at a garage sale today for $20. The guy that I talked to was pretty old and said it was his son's game but he has had it in his garage for over 25 years and the son hasn't picked it up yet, so he was selling it. I offered him $10 and he took it. Enjoy the pics.

You paid a bit much, but it looks to be in good shape. ;o9

He was asking $20 and you offered him $10??? I believe you may go to Hell over that one! HAHAHA good find, Star Castle is one of my fav's, still trying to find one.

I'm surprised nobody has posted "Dude that was my game, I'm gonna kill my old man!" yet...
Nice pickup, isn't it a bit late in the year for Garage Sales up there or do you all just have them all year long... I don't think anyone has em between October and April here :D
 
I passed on one that was nearly mint several months ago at a tag sale. Monitor was all original and the picture on it was amazingly sharp. Only thing that it needed was the color gel monitor overlay. When I went to see it the lady had print outs from EBAY showing the game was selling for nearly $1500.00. (Or so she thought)I knew right then I wasn't coming home with it. Got her down to $1200.00. Gave her my name and number and told her to call me when she realized she wasn't going to get near that. (In a nice sort of way of course) Never heard from her. Kinda sucks cuz I know I'll never see one in that nice of condition again but, there was no way I was gonna shell out that much money. Wonder what she ended up getting for it? Guess I'll never know. That was one of the games I grew up on along with Boxing Bugs.
 
I know, thats why I played a couple of games and walked away. Would have been stoked to have a near mint Star Castle but not at that price! Very few games I would shell out that kind of cash for.

A old guy is selling a Star Castle for 20 bucks and you offer 10.00 you should be ashamed
 
i wouldn't be able to sleep. i have a pending deal for two very rare games that are huo left behind by a family member and i offered them more than they wanted, thats because i know what theyre worth and karmas a bitch! i couldnt take advantage of any one. that's how i roll!
 
I'd at least raise a stink about the game, I've had situations happen where someone was asking that and I judge pulled out the cash and they pulled a "let me make sure it's alright" came back out after checking ebay only to ask much much more...
 
I have to agree... it was a shitty thing to offer $10.00 to someone selling a Star Castle for $20.00. I'd have handed the guy the twenty and loaded it up no questions asked.

A lady was selling a Whirlwind pin for $700.00... I paid her what she was asking and went on my way... I sure as hell didn't say "Will you take $500?"...

That kind of shit comes back to bite you in the ass...
