I just couldn't help but notice that I was getting a TON of views, and like 9 watchers just since Monday, which I don't normally see. It's probably the shipping like you guys said. I'm just always paranoid about shipping. USPS has actually been VERY reliable to me. And once you start adding options I'm paranoid I've done something wrong. On more than one occasion I've screwed something up and ended up costing myself more than if I just tossed in the trash!

I just added the option to use FedEx Ground, let's see if that makes a difference! I hate using them though. I have to go to FedEx Kinkos to do it, and it's ALWAYS a pain. And I used to work there, so I should know! Thanks

It's a pretty big box at 19x16x11, what calculator are you using to get the $31 price? Even the USPS calculator on their page comes in at exactly $41.55 for Priority 3-day.

I'm just using the Ebay shipping calculator for Priority Mail and it's a 13 pound box. I could add Fed Ex Ground, but I hate using them unless I have to. Plus, that would only be cheaper for West coast buyers.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/142277895237 Posted this a few days ago, and I'm getting a ton of views and a bunch of people watching it, but no sale. I can't remember when I had this much apparent interest where it didn't sell right away. I know it's probably a bit on the high end for a lot of US who probably have all of it, but I think it's a good starter set and it's in really nice condition.

Well, let me tell you. LOL I tried the RIT Dye method, and it came out, not so good. After that I gave up and left it that way. It's not much of an improvement, I'll tell you that! I theory, I could try painting it still, but I never got around to it.

Just got mine yesterday! Seems good so far, but I can't get ET to even show up on the SD list. The file in the Zip is called E_T.bin and I tried renaming it to Et.bin as someone suggested but no luck. Never mind, I forgot that it orders them by date, so it's now at the end of the list.

Nice, I sold one of those controllers for $50 last year.

Lots of looky-loos, but no nibbles. Only 49 hours left!

Hey all, I happened to meet up with a guy who has a pile of Commodore Amiga systems and accessories as well as C64s and 128s, stuff like that. I'm not into that stuff personally, so I have no idea what is collectible or whatnot, but I might grab it anyway. Is there any sort of list of values or rarity on this stuff that might be helpful? It would nice to have some idea of values, but sitting there in his basement punching up Ebay auctions might not be the most discrete way to go about it! In my limited experience, it seems like with C64s or 128s, you almost cant GIVE them away. Seriously, I did give one away that someone gave me, and it still took a while. But the Amiga seems to be something a little more interesting. Thanks

I know a local guy who deals in games, and this is exactly how he conducts all of his business. Nothing is cleaned, nothing is tested. He pays next to nothing when he buys, and then gets insulted when you low ball him. "On Ebay, they go for this much!" The only good part is he is completely ignorant about the vintage stuff, so sometimes you can get a pretty decent deal. He's also the guy that pesters every yard sale and asks if they have games. If they even hint that they might, he really hard pressures them to dig them out and then I'm sure low balls them.

Actually, what's really strange, is I have virtually no Imagic warranty cards in my collection, apparently for any system. Was it pretty common for them to not include one? I don't have an extensive "boxed" collection but none of the Imagic Intellivision games I have, have them in the box. And I can't seem to find any with my other system's games (2600 primarily) that have them either, even though I have tons from other companies. A quick look on Ebay and most of them show no cards either. Did people actually mail these things in? I know I never did! If I can't find a "correct" one in my collection, would it be worth tracking one down? Should I take it out of the listing?

I honestly can't say for certain. When I originally got it, it was in a big lot, and a lot of the paperwork was together in a separate box. Is there is a specific style of card that belongs with this?

Please be kind, this is my listing. http://r.ebay.com/D5J6Ex

That reminds me, if your girlfriend's roommate is a gay dude, do NOT hit play on the vcr. I figured that one out WAY back in 1994.

Well, he pulled it out of a dumpster, so it's not like he had anything to lose!

The question is, did he get a good deal?

I've had the screw posts break before, but it's possible that I might have torqued them too hard when I was operating on them.

Yeah, where did you buy it?

What, you don't have any toys or flashlights?

Thought you guys might like to know, I just saw these last Thursday at Family Dollar. They are orange "REDUCED" tagged at $25.00, but during this clearance sale they are half off that for $12.50. There was a Sega system too, but I didn't check the price on that. I just got two of the CV's, and I already bought a NIB INTV set at a yard sale this summer for ten bucks to I passed on that. Don't know if this is nation wide or just regional, but it can't hurt to check!

I don't think that Pac-man is actually from 1980, I'd guess that's just a copyright date of some sort. They did make all kinds of Pac-man handhelds as well as a couple of watches (including one with an actual teeny tiny joystick), but not one like that as far as I can remember.

That was truly epic, well done.

No no no no no... I'm pretty sure the FB2 is considered the best of the bunch!

Consider yourself very lucky then! The ribbon cables that connect to the two monitors are held in place with an glue that tends to break down and lose it's adhesion. There is a procedure that involves removing the parts and heating them in an oven to reactivate the adhesive. The ironic thing is that it's possible that the hot trunk of the car might have actually keep the glue sticky longer!
