    While I'm guilty of the controller cord bit, I hate people wrecking manuals this way. When selling loose games with manual, I've always put the manuals and overlays in an envelope to minimize damage.

     

     

    Same here, i'm guilty of wrapping the controller cords, and i put my manuals in zip lock bags. But when i was a kid i used to put rubberbands around everything. Especially baseball cards. I learned eventually the damage they caused.

    Be careful what Category you use to list with, it can save you money. I just listed for sale (using buy it now) a Gameboy Player for the Gamecube. I wasn't sure which category i should put it in. Some people were putting theirs in Video Games/Accessories, and other were putting it in Video Games/Systems. At first i thought Accessories made more sense, until i noticed the difference with Final Value fees. Putting it in Systems has a 8% final value fee, putting it in Accessories raises it up to 15%. Now that's ridiculous. So you know which category i chose. lol

     

    I wonder if i started listing games in the system category if Ebay would catch on? :roll:

    Someone just did something similar on Ebay recently. He had listed he was selling an Intellivision System with games but he was actually selling an Atari 2600 System with Intellivision games. Some people corrected him so he relisted it with the correct information.

    I was lucky enough to find Motocross with box manual and overlays at Value Village. Digital Press has this to say about the overlays:

    The overlays packaged with this game were made of paper as opposed to the plastic Mattel used although a few plastic overlays were produced by Mattel.

    I have the plastic overlays. Are they worth anything more than having the paper overlays?

    The best thing to do is sell them to someone who collects sealed games and buy a cheaper opened copy for yourself.

     

    I got a great deal on the games. It would probably cost me more to buy an unsealed copy at the normal going rate. But then again who knows how much i could of gotten for it if i just resold it.

    Is this worth anything? An empty Intellivision box. Is it just a worthless cardboard box? Does it have value? Is it worth less then the most common Intellivision game? One way of thinking about it is. The box holds 6 games. So 1 box is made for every six games sent to a store. :roll:

     

    I wonder if anybody would have interest in such a thing. I personally don't need it.

    I'd say it's just an empty box. The one interesting thing is that it says "Intellivision Inc." on it. That was (I believe) the name of the company that acquired the rights to the Intellivision from Mattel, and which later became Intv Corp.

     

    Those boxes are called master packs; there were six games in each master pack and twelve master packs in a case (72 games per case). The interesting thing about opening NOS master packs for the first time is that, every once in a while, the companies packed the wrong games. I was going through a case of Atari 7800 Ballblazer cartridges once, and found that one master pack had three copies of Touchdown Football in it. Personally, I would have preferred Commando.

     

    I should be getting another one of those boxes when i get my Night Stalker games from Venezuela. That's if he sends it. Maybe it's worthless but still kind of cool. Maybe i'll change my mind and hang on to it.

    About twenty years ago,i was too busy schtrouping girls.God i wish i was collecting back then.Toys R Us still had all the 2600,INTV,CV,etc games in the display cases,and what did i do?I just walked by all those easily available games!. :sad: :ponder: :x

     

     

    Boy do i remember the Toys R Us days. Remember when my mother would let me pick out some games for Christmas. This is when all the INTV sports games came out. I remember getting Slam Dunk, Slap Shot, Body Slam, Centipede, Mission X, Diner. Etc. I even remember when they sold spare controllers for the Intellivision II. I regretted not picking them up after mine stopped working a few years later. A few years later Toys R Us stopped selling Intellivision stuff. I even remember seeing the INTV III in the display case. Unfortunately all my games were sold. I have bought back almost everything i owned back then. Just got to get Body Slam and Boxing and i'll have all the games back i had as a kid. Boxing is so common and cheap i can get that anytime i want. No hurry. I keep an eye open for Body Slam but it never shows up on Ebay. Even rarer games than Body Slam show up on Ebay more often than Body Slam. The last few months that is. I been looking everyday. But i know even if i do find it, it will be way out of my budget. And now that i'm broke. I have no budget. lol

     

    Oops i got off topic. I wish i could relive those Toys R Us days. The feeling from buying those games back then can't be touched. I could go on all day.

    More often than not, the prices you said the guy was asking are what I see out there

     

    I really had no clue that places would over price things that much. I guess i'm so used to Ebay and other sites prices. I also did not have the greatest knowledge of what was rare and what was common. My knowledge is very limited. I did the video before i looked everything up online.

     

    What made this an unbelievable score for me is, where i live it is rare for me to come across something like this. The Goodwill stores, thrift stores, and even the flea markets almost never have any video game related stuff period. Just not anything in the 30 miles radius. Finding something like this is unreal here. I'm always jealous of seeing people's Goodwill finds and my store is empty lol. Well now i finally got my find. I've had plenty of online finds, just not many finds "in the wild"
