Still waiting. .... 😛

Do you have the link for that? I’m hoping it’s not the same seller. ☹️

Not Intellivision, but still related (Mattel Electronics). Anyone ever come across these Burgertime items before? After picking them up I did a little research and these were apparently included in certain packaging for the Mattel handheld Burgertime game. The second photo I pulled from the handheld museum page. It looks like there were actually four. Shame I’ll never find the hot dog.

If you’d really think about it, I know of a few buyers (not me 😛) on these boards that could meet just about any price.

Oh it’s not a typo. People are deluded enough to think their stuff is worth that. Of course with some of the sales lately maybe it is. There seems to be a ridiculous amount of money coming into the hobby right now.

I hate to say I don’t doubt that’s real. Some speculators are so blinded and fooled by this grading crap that they truly think something like this is worth every penny.

I’ve been using the lockdown to slowly get through and cleanup purchases from the last year or so. Finally finished today. Quite a while back I bought a large lot of boxes in various condition from great to really bad. I dug through that lot today and cleaned up as best I could. Certainly some in this lot that I can use. It’s quite a few for a pretty good price if I recall correctly.

I normally stay away from releases that didn’t hit the US shelf, but I saw a copy of Dames (checkers) that seemed like a decent price and grabbed it. How difficult are Dames and Draughts to acquire? Can’t say I see them on a regular basis.

As I understand it, the straight plug is Coleco. The odd thing is that is what is shown on the Intellivision box as well. The intellivision one has a bent plug.

Did you supply a pic to the Atarimania site? Didn’t know if he got that from you or elsewhere.

I found the other member that has one. cvga has one in his collection. I saw it in one of his pics.

No, not into selling. I love to add old game related merch to my collection. This is one I really like.

I just picked this up recently and would love to know if anyone has any details about it. I know it’s got to be a promotional piece, but for whom. Customers, employees? I could only find it in 2 places when I was researching it. One was a member here that has one and the other was on ROMs page. Neither provided any history though.

If the bids are real (that’s a big if) it’s obviously 2 collectors that have no monetary concerns, collect only in the best condition, and are willing to pay ANYTHING to get what they need. If that’s true, should be interesting to see final price.

You’ll regret that!!!! Take it from us folks crazy enough to go down that hole. 😝

Thanks Lathe! Mine has the manual and sleeves with it, but your documentation has a lot of good information and would definitely be what I’d reference if I needed to change cords.

I sure haven’t seen many over the years, but I’m not exactly sure how rare it is.

Finally picked up a Wico for the Intellivision. Practically new in box. The auction mislabeled it as Colecovision.

A couple more pickups ... The bottom one is a hanging lamp for the game room. Got it at a local art museum when they hosted “the art of video games” exhibition. Gotta get it hung up in the coming months.

No you don’t. I’ve only seen a couple the last few years and got outbid on the first. It came with a Sears pong. I was hoping the case might be branded Sears in some way, but it isn’t. I don’t think I’ve heard of a Sears branded case.

Finally picked this up. Been looking for this case for a while

Whizball was definitely hard for me to acquire, but if these bids are legit there are at least 2 collectors out there with huge pockets trying to get perfect items at any cost.

Ok, I know some folks put a heavy premium on items in nice condition. This however seems a little ridiculous even as nice as it is... https://www.ebay.com/itm/VideoCart-20-WHIZBALL-Fairchild-CHANNEL-F-Video-Game-Cartridge-Mint-in-box-NOS/383481127102?hash=item594941a0be:g:RkEAAOSwuhhefowI

Crap. Missed out already.

Would that have been in an Inty II with Burgertime as the pack in?
