    Great news! :lust:

     

    Yes,Chris sent the unit and she has made the mockup and sent it back to him to "judge"

    I think it looks good.

    If Chris says its good,all thats left is to embroider the Vectrex label on the front

    While On the subject,we now have the "faux" leather in brown.which would look good on the Coleco,and 5200 systems

    Sorry for delay on updating,we are getting ready to move,so things are literally all over the place.

    I will update as soon as we hear back from Chris

    Oops, did not receive anything from you if you sent a PM mckafka99.

    In any case, I already closed a deal with the-topdog for a controller and the game Rip-off

     

    Thanks for your interest!

     

    Still looking for this ...

     

    I have a few spare Vectrex controllers. I can sell you a loose one, tested and working, for $30 US + Shipping to Spain ($14 US). PM me if you are interested.

    PM sent

    Hi Cubelindo

    Should be no problem to do such a hack for you.If it was the 7800 system,i could do this very easy.

    greetings Walter

     

    Thank you, Walter. That's very kind of you.

     

    In fact I'm surprised of the response of the people. Neotokeo2001 sent me a PM within minutes of the first post, and he made a hack within ... seconds? of my reply

     

    Now I'm working on the label

    There's a retro gaming fair in Madrid (Spain) next march the 13th called Retromadrid 2010 (http://www.retromadrid.net) One of the activities is a little contest where teams of 2 people (father & son) play cooperative games in different classic consoles. The game chosen for the Atari2600 is Space Invaders.

     

    I thought it would be amazing to have a personalized version of Space Invaders, something that could be given to the winner of the contest or at random to a visitor (all of them retro gaming lovers). I told the organization about it and they love the idea. So here am I, exploring this possibility.

     

    I have all the needed tools to make a cart, that is boards, eproms, programmer, eraser and some donor carts. But I have never programmed anything Atari.

     

    Maybe there's somebody proficient in hacking Atari games that would like to contribute to a good cause. He (she?) will be credited of course, I can make another cartridge for him and send him the photo where we give the winner the cart, whatever he sees fit.

     

    The kind of personalizaton we search is not severe, just the text Retromadrid 2010 somewhere and if it is possible, substitute a column of invaders with the logo of the AUIC (Classic Computers users association, organisers of Retromadrid) which is a Pacman.

     

    Well if you don't ask you never know the answer you can get, that's why I'm posting this. Again, this is to promote the classic games we love and not for profit ;) .

    OK, I'm convinced--I'd like to order 1 Vectrex cover, please. :thumbsup:

     

    Please remind me of how to order...mail to [email protected] & give my zip code to get a shipping estimate & then paypal?

     

    Thanks!

    -Jason

    Thats it!

    Send her your complete mailing address,so can get exact shipping .

    And thank you.

     

    If she's open to overseas mailing, I'm placing an order for a Vectrex, Coleco, Atari 5200 and Atari 2600 covers :)

    I would open a complaint. If this was bought on ebay it is easy. did the auction state the photo was not of the actual item. if not then it seems this guy used a photo to trick buyers. If you used paypal you are protected. open your complaint and give good detail. even though it was sold as is the photo and discription are off which should help with your issue. I hate it when sellers do that. don't leave feedback till your issue is resolved. I'd like to know who the seller is so that I can stay away. did the auction state the photo was not of the actual item

     

    The auctions are more than 90 days old, they are no more, no feedback to be left, no nothing. Well, at least the original auctions I bought. You can buy AGAIN the "Dungeons of Dr. Creep" in the auction number 370240346618 - that's the purple disk I wanted, the label is the same though. Seller is poppop2000

    I suppose this post goes here as it is auction-related. Please move it if not.

     

    I bought 4 Commodore 64 games (disk only) last july. The seller did not ship out of the US, so I had them shipped to a friend's house in Florida. He just came back to Spain for Xmas and gave me the games.

     

    To my surprise, when I inspected them I could clearly see they were not originals. The stickers are made of paper and seems to be printed with one of those first generation inkjet printers, with dull colors. He didn't even cut them properly (some white paper can be seen where he didn't followed the line). None of the disk sleeves were original of course - but that is something that gets easily lost.

    The seller (I don't know if I can post the name) has 8700 feedbacks, with 99.5% positives.

     

    I immediately sent him an email stating the obvious, he replied that he says in the auction "I do not know if these are originals or copies. They are sold as is" - it's true he has that disclaimer

     

    What pisses me off the most, is that he still has 293 commodore disk for sale INCLUDING the four I bought. One of them was "Dungeons of Dr. Creep" The photo showed a purple disk, I got a black one, and this guy has the same BIN (or better offer) item with the same photo (besides this is a very rare title). Another one I had never heard of it before "Way of the exploding fist III" - he has two also ...

     

    Of course I cannot file a Paypal claim, the games were bought in July, but maybe I can do something to prevent others from being cheated. Advice?

    Hi, I'm currently searching for a vectrex controller - to be used as a second player joystick. I don't need a CIB one but at least it has to work - all 4 buttons!

     

    I can pay using Paypal, must ship to Spain (Madrid- zip 28229)

     

    I have more than 350 positive feedbacks in eBay as international buyer, so don't hesitate to send me your very-low-price quotations!

    Maybe, or maybe buy/seller, or large volume of one or the other. I buy 4:1 to my sales on eBay. Usually there are coupon codes around this time of the year too. A few quick google searches brought up previous codes for other years, but nothing for this year yet. If anyone has any general eBay/Paypal holiday codes feel free to post (the kind everyone can use).

     

    :thumbsup:

    AX

     

    I received also one, and I'm no seller

     

    Maybe I had placed a bid on an item, like 1 day before it ended - can't remember. I mean, maybe I had a bid placed before the shutdown.

     

    Just looking for a reason

    Sounds interesting, but I'm in Pal land.

     

    Are you willing to ship to Europe?

     

    Reading one of you previous post, it should work in a Pal Coleco, at least in theory, right? :?:

     

    Yes, it should work with PAL, as far as I can tell. Your ColecoVision can be the guinea pig. I'll give you a good deal if you get the mod done fairly quickly, and report the results. Any other PAL users who want to reserve one can do so, and we'll do the payment and shipping after cubelindo has reported back.

     

    I'm a bit scared of sending to Spain, but I'll give it another shot; I think your postman has someone's copy of Squares! and JetPack. :)

     

    Thanks,

    5-11under

     

    I'd try my best doing the mod, but I prefer to pay it in full - with my newborn I'm not sure I'll have as much time to do the mod as I'd like. So if there are other volunteers I'd gladly swap my place with him

     

    Regarding shipping, I normaly have no issues with items sent from the US or Canada, but the postman also has a Megadrive's Zero Wing I ordered two years ago so anything's possible. In any case if it does not arrive I won't blame you so it's worth the risk!

     

    So I reserve one :D
