Intellivision Ebay Roundup


Recommended Posts

:o I must have missed that one, but excellent find! I'll send you my list of PC manual part numbers for comparison. That looks like a pretty complete set, so curious to see the mix of manuals in the lot. I'm missing that catalog/flyer too :lust:

 

The majority of the manuals are PC designated, but not all. There were also a mixture of a few non-PC doubles in there as well so I'm not positive that others had been added at some point. I'll get a list of them in the coming week and make sure to consult with Steve as far as what I see included.

Not at all overprice, no siree! :roll:

 

-dZ.

and because of this , I thank you once again for supplying the ROM for free and giving us that did not have a chance to purchase this game when it was first released .. A chance to play one of the top ten (in my opinion)intellivision games .... Cheers !!!

Im a little surprised nobody mentioned this from the recent eBay auction. Maybe because it made no mention of Intellivision in the title but here is my recent pickup. Showed up in better condition than I had anticipated. Not sure its totally complete, but Im still very happy to add something Ive looked for for so long. Now if I could just manage to find the companion piece

That is a sweet collection!

 

A list of manuals and part numbers would be awesome. And getting the flyer in there is a sweet, sweet bonus! Major score!

I know everyone hates happiestsellerever but that actually is the going rate on Sears Checkers. I'd want to see condition pics on everything first though.

Still why support him or anything that he list's/ sell's... Fair for him is a mistake or a keystroke error when listing.. lol

Every so often he for whatever reason does actually post something at going rates. There have been a few things Ive had an interest in buying, but on principal would not. I choose to never give him any of my money under any circumstances.

I don't really see pricing as an issue of principle. If a seller lists something at a fair price then I'm willing to do business on it. I'm not concerned with previous ridiculous prices they may have asked for on other items. Might even help them realize asking $1000 for everything maybe isn't best for business when their more reasonable offerings seem to be selling better.

 

It would be one thing if the guy was a noted con artist but at over 24,000 transactions with a near 100% approval rating it's clear he is not ripping people off or providing bad customer service. So let him price himself out of some additional sales if he wants. Being laughably out of touch with reality on pricing doesn't hurt anyone but himself.

To each their own. I just choose to make sure he doesnt profit from me in any way. Hes not a con man by any means, just an opportunist that I feel has damaged a hobby that I enjoy. Hes also blocked from bidding on any of my future auctions. Id rather anything I have go to someone that appreciates it instead of simply appreciating nothing but green.

If I could let him bid on auctions but not fixed price listings, I would do that. I figure the rest of the people will bid him up to a reasonable price. But since I can't find a way to limit purchases to one per seller, when I am putting up a bunch of items at a slightly low price (to sell), I don't want him buying three at $25 and selling them for $129 again.

It's not something I do when selling on eBay but I can understand blocking someone like that from bidding. I don't sell a ton but I would much rather have anything I offer up go to another collector that will appreciate it for what it is and not just a means to profit.

To clarify, the titles I'm missing are ones I don't have any legit copy of, physical or ROM, so I *DO* have Spiker, Stadium Mud Buggies, LF I, and LF II, as ROMs, from Intellivision Lives/Rocks. I'm short quite a few in cart form, but I'm working toward "own a legit copy of in any format" first.

Already have Congo Bongo (lucked out there - got it from a local Craigslist post that was "old game system with games" - no text description. Photo clearly showed it was an Intellivision II, and was *JUST* high enough quality that I could make out a Congo Bongo cartridge in the stack.

The games I'm missing are almost exclusively "licensed properties", thus weren't available on ROM:

  • Jetsons Ways with Words
  • Defender
  • Super Cobra
  • Tutankham
  • Commando
  • Diner
  • Pole Position

Most aren't particularly hard to find, I'm just cheap. :-D

When you add "own a legit ROM, but not on cartridge" the list adds:

  • Melody Blaster
  • WS MLB
  • Beamrider
  • River Raid
  • The Dreadnaught Factor
  • Worm Whomper
  • Atari Pac-Man (Have Inty)
  • Fathom
  • White Water!
  • Thin Ice
  • Thunder Castle
  • LF I
  • LF II
  • Slam Dunk
  • Triple Challenge
  • Body Slam
  • Mountain Madness
  • Super Pro Decathlon
  • Spiker!
  • Stadium Mud Buggies

P.S. hatman, there's an LF1 on eBay right now for ~$120...

I doubt this is probably anything significant, but I had never seen this version before and took a shot that it might be a bit of a rarity. I still haven't been able to find a picture of this exact one online after doing some searching. Part # 2609-0920 (D). Anyone have any info on it? Interesting that there are no Intellivision markings on the unit itself and no label on the cartridge. Very generic looking overlays in the controllers as well (if they are overlays). Looking forward to getting this to investigate further.
