  1. I have both and I can tell you the yellow cart did not cost me anywhere near what they are paying for the not rare black version.
  2. Scott Pilgrim vs the world was an amazingly funny movie with many inside jokes. It was a work of art. Haven't seen pixels but I usually like movies everyone hates.
  3. It is not like it is a secret list. Everyone that wants on the list contact Toby of Collectorvision and give him your email. You still shouldn't post his email in this forum. A simple answer would have been to say yes there is an email and contact toby so you can get one
  4. if you want to keep marathons low then I would suggest going with skill level 3 or 4 on those to avoid the marathons.
  5. the topic in Opcode forum tells you how to get an SGM and there is no order for the game as it is not out yet.
  6. your ram questions are because it was expensive back then and they wanted to save as much money as possible in order to make as much profit as possible. They would even lower the chip size in the games and tell game makers they had to lose data so they could put smaller size chips in their games. Remember it isn't some group of guys with love of games making the product. It is business people letting their people do as little as possible as fast as possible to make a game sell. The screen I thought I read somewhere that there wasn't enough screen pixels to fit the extra level or would make stuff look weird but not sure about that.
  7. You didn't have to peel off the sticker to get the coleco open, I don't understand why so many people thought that when I as a 8 or 9 year old just undid the screws and took it apart without even thinking of removing the sticker. However you definitely were not alone. I think there is some thread somewhere where people made a new sticker. Or maybe they just talked about making one. I would do a search.
  8. Add the price of the overlays to my shipping, I am more than happy to pay for the awesome work you do.
  9. I agree with NIAD, that seller did not have I will ship everywhere on his ebay sale so he probably did not have enough setup to ship to you. I don't know if you contacted him ahead of time to ask if he would ship to your area, if you did not then you created the problem because you should have asked him first if he would ship to you. He is being nice just shipping to you without agreeing if you didn't. However if you did then he should have warned you that it would cost more but it still is not unreasonable for him to ask after the fact since he setup the auction without outside shipping in mind.
  10. congrats looking forward to new thread so I can purchase.
  11. It will definitely go for less than Super Sketch, these have come up a decent amount over the years. They usually go between 300 - 600 depending on the bidding war. The reason they come up more is because people can tear the sticker off the Box and bam it becomes a colecovision box. All Imagic did was add a sticker to make it for the other systems. It is a uncool to do it but people have been doing it a lot. I have one where someone did that because the instructions are wrong and one correct one with the good instructions. The only way you can tell if it is the real deal is that the instructions have something specific for colecovision but usually they never show the inside of the instruction booklet for you to see.
  12. I think a lot of people got the re-release from colectorvision and don't realize this is the first release with like 25 - 30 copies. Collectors like me who would have bid on it might already have them. It is pretty cool.
  13. Of course Ikrananka is in my brotherhood so I know he is a cool guy but before we were even in the brotherhood together he was always a great seller with fair prices. I can confirm he is not that kind of guy.
  14. I hope it is a language thing, ran it up around here means you are screwing with people to inflate prices without any desire to ever buy the item. It is totally not cool and everyone will be very pissed at you. Hopefully you mean you just wanted it and can't go higher.
  15. the double enders come up a lot, it is not rare to find the loose cart only the CIBs are very rare. You can find one if your patient.
  16. wow after seeing death race go for crazy money you should have left those controllers out there. I don't understand the whole side deal thing. I am betting you may have seen a sky rocket price. I know if I didn't already have both sets I would have paid huge money.
  17. See if pictures like that were my gift for getting a 007 rating I would try harder.
  18. Inty version LAST!!!! I don't think anyone would want it, send me the copy when you're coder is done J-F
  19. That's a shame, when I got back into colecovision like 6 or 7 years ago, his site was the best out there. Very responsive and great stuff at a price that of course made him money but was a reasonable price maybe just below regular ebay prices not outrageous ebay prices. It was great to look at that site always as he got more stuff and try to buy it before the other collectors saw the new stuff put out there. A great deal of my complete CIB collection came from his site. It is sad when nice things go away. Not really sure what he is doing since I could only see a clueless millionaire willing to pay that price.
  20. If yours was CIB you definitely screwed yourself by not making it a regular auction. Since this is so hard to get most people will wait for a full CIB. Depending on crazyness of ebay auction I could see it selling for anywhere between 400 - 1000 With no box or instructions I guess it is just how desperate someone is to have it because I wouldn't consider it worth much but as we can see it is already up to 200. Personally if I didn't already have one I wouldn't waste money until I found a CIB.
  21. no you are not wrong, qubes was considered high priced selling for 300 or so each time then all of a sudden ebay got flooded over the years with lots of them. Now when I say lots of them I am talking 2 handfulls which is a lot for hard to find items. Dragonfire doesn't pop up too much, considering the awesome shape it was in I can see why a couple people would want it bad and cause a crazy price. They obviously wanted it bad because oil wells selling at the same time sold for cheap. That is one that is usually around 300. To make you feel better I saw a clamshell Alphabet Zoo which does not pop up much. Since I had the box and not the clamshell I decided what the hell. It is probably worth 100 - 175. I got it for 6 bucks. It makes up for all of the crazy priced Items I had to buy to get to my CIB collection. When you get to where I am you start going , oh I don't have the Canadian version of this CIB.
  22. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dragonfire-ColecoVision-Video-Game-Cartridge-Tested-works-Dragon-Fire-Coleco-/131567149048?hash=item1ea2035ff8 Would you really describe this as has some use. I would describe it as totally trashed. Also what drug is he smoking to ask for 120 bucks for a Cart. It is not even worth that if it was in pristine condition.
  23. got some sweet presents from Canada today. This digger thing seems so much like Mr Do. Who stole from who, which was first?
  24. you are just starting to have that feeling. The last one selling at auction for 1000 wasn't your first clue.
  25. The world has become make money at any cost no matter who you hurt and what it costs. The small scale users are just learning from the big time corporation crooks who definitely rule the US if not the world. yes I am jaded.
