I know one thing ... contrary to what this guy thinks, it's not worth $425.00:

Maybe 175 to 250 range?

I think $250 - $300. Or at least that's what I'd be willing to pay.

What method of sealing was used by the factory?Probably the usual glue, never had the joy of buying a new sealed INTV 2.This is a cool package.

I agree. I'd go $200, maybe $225 max. Whether it's really worth more than that, I really don't know; to ME, it's worth $200-225.

 

Is it my imagination, or has there been an upsurge of Intellivision II popularity lately?

Well,i'm pretty sure that the Intv II i more rare than the original,maybe that is part of it.

 

And also with a resurgance of popularity due to intv being on xbox live,30 year intellivision anniversary,intellivision facebook page,

AA intv board ,a new DS release coming,talk of new homebrews,intv on iphone/ipad...etc...etc

I would say $150 to $200. I also beg to differ,The Intelly one sealed is 3 times harder to find than a Intelly 2 Sealed. I believe, There was a warehouse find on Intelly 2s a few years ago. HHW

It always used to be, people would dog on the II for the controllers (often criticized as being more horrible than the already horrible Intellivision I controllers...[i'm paraphrasing there]), the non-standard, odd-duck voltage, SOL-if-you-lost-it-or-it-died power supply, the combination power/reset button, and being incompatible with a couple of Coleco titles that were garbage anyway.

 

Now, suddenly, I'm seeing a lot of "if you get an Intellivision, get an Intellivision II because they're more reliable and they take up less space."

 

I'm not complaining, I just think it's interesting. The II is my favorite Intellivision; I'll trade the ability to play Donkey Kong for use of the Computer Adapter and System Changer any day of the week...why wouldn't you want that, you know? Incidentally, when I first got into collecting, the Intellivision II was the first Intellivision I ever saw or learned of...to this day, when I hear the word "Intellivision," the II is the first thing that comes to mind.

 

Now I'll shut up before I derail this thread any further.

Whether or not its worth $ 400.00 +, this is Ebay after all, of course the price is inflated.

[the-topdog]

I'd say the ceiling would be about $200... but there are always people who "need" a system that will go all mental and pay more.

[Rik]

I wouldn't pay anything over $40.00 for any classic console.Used is good enough.Most used consoles are pretty much like new anyway.I understand the excitement of having something that was never used, but I've had to compromise because money is pretty tight for me.Some dude with lotsa cash will buy it, more power to em!

Good info guys. I purchased my Intelleviion II in 1985 from a store going out of business, I think I paid $19.00 for the unit (new sealed) $9 for the intellivoice and between $3-$5 for a huge library of new games (maybe 20 or so) , I was out the door for under $100 and played the heck out of it that summer. B-17, Dungeons and Dragons , Truckin , Football, Astrosmash, Star Strike man that was a great memory. I gave away the unit to someone and can't even remeber why or when :-(
