View Full Version : Selling Old Jazz Stuff

I've really lost interest in this game, as many of us have in the past. I have quite a collection, and I'm willing to sell it to people who actually might care to buy it (not ebay). I have Jazz Jackrabbit 2 (1.21), HH 98, The Secret Files, the handbooks for both Jazz2 and TSF, the box for TSF (will be shipped in it), all of Jazz1 Episodes 1-9(I'm not sure if these 3.5 floppy disks work anymore, but I can include them anyways). The only thing really missing is Jazz2 HH CC. I might even have diskettes of the old HH versions of Jazz1.
I'm really open to any amount that someone wants to pay for it. But all shipping would be paid by you. I know that sales pitches are probably not allowed, and if this thread is closed, I understand. I just couldn't be bothered to contact the admins to ask for permission for this thread. Anyhow, nobody else online would really care for this stuff other than you guys and nobody is going to find a price as low as mine. Just thought I could do some service to this community for loads of fun and all. It's better than just throwing it all out.
This doesn't mean I won't be around to talk. I just won't own the games anymore.
In order for this thread to not turn doesn't turn into a huge bidding list, PM me if you're interested. I'm looking anywhere between 15 - 20 dollars, but I'll take the highest bidder regardless of how much you want to pay.
[EDIT]
I'm also willing to sell individual items. I also have the original JJ1 manual. I would prefer paypal.
[EDIT 2]
The whole lot has been claimed. Thank goodness.

That is rather sad news. Please do stick around in the community and stuff (come visit us in #jj2?) You are quite a knowledgable person and we would like to leech your smarts.
$15-20? First of all, what currency, secondly, is that for everything together? Maybe you should offer individual prices for stuff. A lot of people probably have JJ2 or TSF and don't want everything together. That said, I'm not an interested party unless no one buys jj1 within the next.. month?
Anyway, yes, stick around.

You're a little too late, Feline. As the games were just simple platformers released in the 90's, the projects were abandoned after the first few years. As a note, I got JJ2 and JJ1 for 4.95 CDN at a grocery store. That is not a joke.
Now that it's been a few years, I got TSF from an "Old Dos Games" site that pays for each download with ad support. In other words, it's practically freeware, or otherwise known as "abandonware". Unless somebody wants to buy the original packaging for collector's purposes, they probably shouldn't.
On that note, even if you're not going to play them, I suggest you keep them. Somebody may give a pretty penny for such collector's items.

As someone said, is this separate items or a group sale? I'm interested in getting a TSF manual but I already have all the other stuff.

It's a crying shame you're leaving, but I guess I really can't say I don't understand. I already have all those items, but I wish you luck and happiness wherever you go next.

Like any responsible forum member, I read the rules years ago when I first joined. I'm terribly sorry if, God forbid, I used the word "abandonware" when I clearly meant it was not free, just not sold in stores.
It's a (-)ed shame that there are still people who jump to conclusions.

I could sell things seperately. I just thought somebody would want the whole package.
Name any price, really. Just be a little bit reasonable.

Rephrase your post then, because it sure as hell looks like you just say "Don't buy it, just download it."
And that Jazz2 handbook, is that with a jazz comic in it? Or was that from JJ1?

How is the TSF manual different?

It has almost nothing that's in the JJ2 manual. It basically tells the TSF story and describes Lori's special moves in several different languages, and it has TSF pictures (like Lori! :p) in it.

It does? I'll bid THREE dollars for the manual!

It does? I'm not near it right now to check it out, but I don't remember much from it except that it had different languages in it.
HH 98 sells pretty cheap, I would think you could find it easily for cheaper than that, but if you want, I'll sell it to you for that much. $5? Just contact me via PM so we can talk.
