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

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?

Nintendo DS Paddle with Arkanoid DS and Space Invaders Extreme
cubelindo replied to wood_jl's topic in Auction Central
You only ship to the US, no exceptions? -
Well, I'm from Spain and I sometimes ask "US only sellers" to let me bid My advice is: look at the feedback. Brand new buyers might not understand the difference in shipping time and risks involved compared to domestic shipping. On Oct 29th I bought an X-arcade tankstick, a very big and heavy package. I was sure I would be stopped at the customs but the USD to EUR ratio made me take the risk. To my surprise, I got the package Nov 4th and I had tracking all the way along, even email alerts!. Shipping was USPS International Priority, if you use that it seems you have tracking Don't think expensive shipping costs will drive europeans away, the USD is very cheap now: I saved 60€ buying the joystick in the US compared to Spain, including the shipping!

I'll forward a summary of all these ideas to the organizers. We still have plenty of time - the fair is scheduled for march - so any other suggestion is welcome. I'd love to have some for the coleco! Thanks to all

Dealing with an angry international buyer
cubelindo replied to the.golden.ax's topic in Auction Central
A trusted seller told me she's had most of his international packages returned. Seems the US customs got very picky and said the customs form was not filled out correctly, all because of a terrorist called Zazi who was planning something nasty with household items(she even told me to search it at foxnews.com) Now she can't send anything without a detailed description of the contents. Other items from the US have arrived, though Still waiting for my 4 packages from her -
jrok, sorry for the offtopic but your avatar is extremely cool. Is it from a game or homebrew?

Dealing with an angry international buyer
cubelindo replied to the.golden.ax's topic in Auction Central
Ax, don't believe all international buyers are all the same. I buy tons of stuff from the US and everywhere else (in fact I have bought from you but via the AA forum) I have only been scammed once (with the typical out of city / death in the family delay then not replying any mail) because I select my sellers carefully - also I have more than 350 feedbacks as a buyer, 100% positives I can tell you I'm waiting for a parcel full of D&D stuff I boght in July - the US customs bounced it back for no reason. As I paid first class mail or a dirt cheap priority I cannot blame the seller if it gets lost - provided I trust the seller had sent it. Proof for me is simply communication and past feedbacks. I have even moved "US only" sellers into sending to Spain. You have to understand as a buyer that losing a package is a possibility, that's all. I have filled only one Paypal claim, It was for a Megadrive cart "Zero Wing" I bought for 2 GBP I think. It got lost I suppose and the stupid seller did not even reply my two kind mails asking for its whereabouts. With the current USD to EUR ratio ... select your customers and keep on selling abroad! -
There has to be at least one Coleco coop. The 2 player of Frenzy is simultaneous?

This one looks very funny!! I don't have a Fairchild Chanel F system ... was this game ported to other consoles?
-
With the standard controllers?

Writing down all these ideas ... keep'em coming!!

In the coming classic console - computer gaming fair in Spain Retromadrid 2010, the organisers want to prepare a "circuit" in which couples of gamers (like father - son) try different classic cooperative games for 5-10 mins. Most of the games we can think of are typical beat or shoot'em ups. The tentative list has no games for Atari 2600, Coleco, Intelly, Vectrex or anything from NES downwards, which is a shame. Just to illustrate the idea, some of the games already "selected" are Bubble Bobble, Snow Bros, Gauntlet, Mario Bros ... sure there are more cooperative games out there!. Btw, the games have to very simple to understand, to be able to play several games of the circuit. We'd very much appreciate suggestions specially for the most classic systems

Ooops, sorry I thought there were 2 still available. If you make more I might be interested

Sign me up for one "International shipping edition" please

Experiences like these clearly hint it is better to have a separate buyer and seller account, but I'm curious, how do you deal with starting a zero feedback seller account? Some buyers do not trust low feedback sellers

So this won't finally be PAL compliant? -
Atari 8 bit rare, unreleased and proto games coming to eBay?

He also says he has a Commodore 65, something quite rare! -
PHANTASM SHIPPING NOW Limited Edition
cubelindo replied to neotokeo2001's topic in Buy, Sell, and Trade
The two Elvira RPG games might be the ones I liked the most on the Amiga. A couple of months ago I bought the C64 version also. I didn't know there was an Atari HB about Elvira - the video rocks! If it is made available I'll get one for sure This women is immortal? She looks the same she did in the 90's Can't wait for my Phantasm! -
Hi I have a spare Intellivision Master Component for sale It is the US version (110V - NTSC) with the joysticks and power cable attached to the main unit. I also have a box - with no styrofoams - and the manual. I ship from Spain, so I guess I can reach most of Europe for a decent shipping cost (around 15-18€ but I have to check) I'd like to get 25€ for the console but I'm open to offers. Photos & extra info available upon request

I was so sure it would go well over 1000$ that I paid no further attention. At this price I would have entered the fray! Maybe being a zero feedback seller didn't help much Let's see who bought it and if he gets what he bought.
