Colecovision Zone Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 After collecting video games for over twelve years and concentrating my collection on Colecovision for the last 8 years, I have decided to sell it all off. My passion is not there anymore and finding new items is becoming almost impossible. So, I’m giving you the opportunity to find rare items coming from my collection.I have decided to sell my Coleco collection that included over 200 boxed games, brand new console and accessories, labels variation, prototypes, internal documents, press kits, and even my website. As an avid collector, my items are in near mint to mint condition. I took cares of them and put them in plastic case when it is possible. You have a chance to buy unique piece of history by contacting me directly. How to proceed? You can find an Excel file with my inventory attached to this message. The photos of my games are available on Facebook (at Colecovision Zone) and on Flickr (search for photos by Colecovisionzone). Take your time. It’s not first come first serve. Send me your offer at junior@colecovisionzone.com with the list of the games you are interested by and the amount your want to pay. I’ll answer all the emails on November 2nd starting with the highest offer. The more your offer, the better your chance is to be on top of my list. What price I do want for my games? I want a fair price compared to what I can get on ebay minus 5-10%. You have the opportunity to get games from a collector who takes meticulous care of all the items as you do with your collection. If you really want something send me an offer than I can’t refuse. I’ll accept payment with Paypal but I’ll ask you to pay the fees. It will cost me too much to accept all the fees. I’ll ship games anywhere as long as you accept to pay the services with tracking number. I suppose if you can pay for items that worth hundreds of dollars, you can pay an extra $10 or $20 to track it. Last thing, I live in Canada and Canada post is more expensive than USPS. Don’t think I pay the price written of the stamp. There are provincial taxes, federal taxes and fuel overcharges that are not included on it. I will not make profit on shipping and I’ll refund the amount if I charge too much. I may need to buy big boxes of more protective stuff to be sure that you will get the games in perfect condition. I’ll let you know if it’s the case. If you prefer to pick up the games, I’ll be happy to meet you. In that case, I’ll accept cash instead of Paypal payment. I hope that I am clear. If you want more photos or more details, I’ll do my best to satisfy you. Thank you. Junior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIAD Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Very sorry to see you selling off your collection and website seeing as you have done so much for the CV Community over the years and the website has been a tremendous informational tool. With that being said, I understand completely having sold off my CV&ADAM collection once before only to get drawn back in and start over five years ago. I hope you do VERY WELL for yourself with the sale and Thank You, or should I say.... CHEERS! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bartsfam Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Did anyone get any rare goodies from this sale that they would like to share? My bids must have been too low, I never heard anything back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 One person came out of this very "silk"ie and I'm sure we will be hearing from him about everything soon enough. My offers for a number of the items weren't even good enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikrananka Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I got nothing from the original private bidding. I put in a lot of bids and at very reasonable prices. Junior then emailed me to say I was one of the high bidders and he would contact me again soon. Never heard back from him and had to email him to ask, only to be told that he was negotiating with someone else and that my bids were too low. Junior was not interested in negotiating with me. To be honest I was rather angry at the poor way Junior handled this without even an apology. I picked up one item that he listed on eBay (one I had privately bid for and yet it was still put up on eBay). I ended up paying close to my private bid.

AtariBuff Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I asked a question to Junior if second bids will be possible when one is not the highest bidder and never ever received a response. I agree with the very poor handling of this situation by this individual. Needless to say, that I didn't shove money in his way on eBay then.
