Anyone want to sell an Intelligentvision 4-Tris?

It never, ever indicates a question mark. If it does, you don't want to do business with someone with such a poor grasp of language. :P

 

Canada's version of Craigslist, Kijiji, suffers from this mightily. These days it seems like 10% of the ads are things like "Wanted: Intellivision system and games" - so I get all excited and think hey, I can sell off some spare stuff. Then I click through the ad and it's some idiot selling. It's even worse when you see "Wanted: Astrosmash $20".

Note to self: when publishing homebrew, always keep half a dozen copies around, to sell at ridiculously inflated prices a few years later when they're "super rare".

 

Yeah, I think one copy of Philly Classic 4-Tris sold for almost as much as the total original selling price of all the copies of Philly Classic 4-Tris I sold. (That's before counting my costs.) I think I've heard of copies going for $600, $700 and $800+ dollars. Of course, I didn't see any of that.

 

And yet... I still remember the look of disappointment on the face of the guy who won Serial Number #001 at the auction and had to pay a whopping $75 for it. Yeah, the production quality wasn't the highest, but it really was the first new homebrew game for Intellivision. And I did autograph it with a silver-ink pen! I think he got a reasonable return on investment for that even if it never got sold after that. ;)

Yeah, I need 3 to complete…a 4-Tris, League of Light and Robot Ruble. I might not have the variations…but I'd have one each of the released home-brews of everything, except a Blix Cart. LOL

I found 4-Tris recently (2 actually with one very special that's why I can't propose a trade.. there are same but different). I'm still looking Robot Rubble, and League of Light..... if I find them, I think my collection will be complete (except variations...). How many people are the really complet collection (125 + variations + homebrews + homebrews variations) ? I think Cmart is the only one. What do you think ? Maybe Alex Pace too ? Revolutionika ?
