Fushek Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Apologies ... I don't often enter the Colecovision forums and now I'm asking for help pricing something. Hate being THAT guy but if anyone has advice on price, I'd appreciate. I have a Colecovision Expansion Module 3 complete with the printer, computer unit, keyboard, plastic tray that holds the unit and a Colecovision together and the plastic tray for the controller (I think). Hooked it up to my Colecovision and was able to power it up and test the keyboard using the Adam Typewriter function. Unable to test the cartridge bay as I don't have a Colecovision cassette tape. Cartidge bay looks good (to my untrained eye). Definitely has yellowing but otherwise seems ok. Any ideas what I should ask for this thing? Any way to test the cassette tape deck without a Colecovision tape? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Cade Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I don't have a great answer for you. I had trouble even giving mine away - most don't find it even worth shipping costs. Maybe you will have more luck... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiddlepaddle Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 It was hard enough getting people to buy them when they were sold with warranty. Give it a couple more decades... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 The EM3 isn't as desired as the Stand Alone Adam with built-in ColecoVision unfortunately. If the system was completely tested and working, then you could reasonably ask for around $100, but since you can't test the Data Drive (that's a big one with these), you're looking at about $50. With the shipping costs of these, it's a hard sell even if the system is working 100%. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fushek Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 Thanks for the info guys. Since it seems that interest may be low, I'll just throw it onto eBay with a $30 starting bid + shipping and see what happens. Not looking to get rich, just want it out of my house! Thanks again!

The Evener Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) It's really worth testing with a cartridge and a data pack, if only to say "tested and working" in your listing. I think you may get less interest if you go untested. Where do you live? I could send you a Donkey Kong to try plus a data pack Edit: sigh, it pays to remember what was said two posts earlier - it's Expansion Module 3 - sorry about that, carry on Edited January 23, 2016 by Colecomeister Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evener Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Double edit -- you DO have a ColecoVision to use! Note to self: avoid using my iPhone when reading certain threads. If you haven't listed the module on eBay yet, PM me your address and I can mail you a datapack copy of ADAMLink or something to test on your computer.

There was always something (and still is) magical about that expansion slot ... But I guess wishing for new hardware for the colecovision 30 plus years later has about as much a chance as getting new X-Files episodes ...

Greg2600 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Forced to keep the printer around in order for this to operate makes it very undesirable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fushek Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 Thanks again for all the info! Just an FYI, I was able to sell it all for $100 + shipping on eBay with the cassette bay untested. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats on finding a buyer and getting a very good price for it considering it wasn't completely tested. Just goes to show, you never know unless you try!
