    Will see if I can pick up a few more carts to get to 20. 

    Do the labels need to be in tact? 

    Looks like won't be sending for a while.  Store which last month was 97 cents for super common carts -- now has them for $4.37.

    Hopefully they will be back to the previous price after the holidays. But I will check before I buy to see if more are still needed.

    (They had some for each price last time I stopped in -- but it was crowded and I had my wife and groceries in the car. It appears I gave the store the chance to finish price changes.)

    Intellivision water bottle. New never used. 5.00 plus shipping. 

     

    Common Intv carts. 2.00 each & shipping. 
     

    Intellivoice titles. 3.00 each & Shipping.

    I wish I was in position ready to get some of these (and others listed).

    I want to put together a play set (instead of using my regular set).

     

    Maybe next year (or next month).

    So Rev -- feel free to contact me if anything is left.

     

    (I also would rather let someone get their first game before I buy my second copy).

    Don't need to buy one anymore. Bought a nice multicart or MULTICARD as creator Max Idem calls it, who makes them and resides in Italy. It took only a week to get to the states and to my front porch. Great quality, better than the other ones I've seen. 😷👍

    I am glad I found this. I just sent an email asking about availability.

    Thanks for considering Millie and Molly! It will be available for purchase from the AtariAge store next year and will include a box and instructions etc. Not sure of an official date just yet.

    Excellent. I order the 7800 games from Atari Age almost as soon as they are posted.

    Sure. It doesn't matter which list you're on. The stickers will be given free to those who have an order and want one. I'll be sending some of the stickers to Luc at Intellivision Collector and I want to arrange something with Good Deal Games to distribute them to people who need one. I apologize for the poor quality of the original sticker. 

    Thanks. I am looking forward to the game. 

    (I will admit to getting worried when I got confused about the two lists).

    Hint for those doing international purchases in foreign currencies: If your card/bank supports purchases in other currencies than your own (usually main currencies like USD, EUR, GBP etc are accepted), always force PayPal to charge in the seller's currency. There is a setting for that which you can make permanent. Pretty much never let PayPal handle the currency exchange unless you have a really old-fashioned card issuer or bank, or are dealing in some really obscure currency. Their rates are much worse than what your bank will charge you, usually even including any fees involved. Over a period of 5-10 years with moderate spending you should easily be able to save hundreds of dollars (!) by not letting PayPal cut through with their exchange rates.

     

    Some people are already well aware of this, for others it is completely news even if they've been shopping internationally online for decades.

    I knew PayPal was terrible at currency conversions.  I learned that when I bought my Channel F multicart and had the seller reject the payment and asked me to resend in dollars.

     

    Glad I could pay for this in dollars so no extra charges for anyone (and proper payment for the merchant).

    On another topic, a client helped us understand why there was sometimes this kind of problem. In reality you can choose your currency on our site but paypal does not allow you to pay in this currency. So you always have to select the original currency on the shop.

    Now it makes sense what was happening.   

    It went through as a credit card charge in USD, so all is well. 

     

    Thanks and I look forward to the game.

    The package was shipped from California. I live in Massachusetts. Not sure where it is.

     

    Here is the current tracking information from usps.com

     

    Your package will arrive later than expected, but is still on its way. It is currently in transit to the next facility.


    Tracking History
    October 20, 2020
    In Transit, Arriving Late
    Your package will arrive later than expected, but is still on its way. It is currently in transit to the next facility.

     

    October 16, 2020, 9:45 pm
    Arrived at USPS Regional Origin Facility
    LOS ANGELES CA DISTRIBUTION CENTER 

     

    October 16, 2020, 8:30 pm
    Accepted at USPS Origin Facility
    SIGNAL HILL, CA 90755 

     

     

    My guess is that it is still in Los Angeles -- or on a slow moving vehicle across the country. 

    It may be late -- but it will arrive.

    Hang in there!! And those of us waiting for the game will do the same.

     

    Thanks for doing this.

    For some reason, it would not take my order using PayPal.

    I was getting a message about the currency needing to match the merchant's account.

    I thought this was strange since I was working in USD. 

     

    So I used a credit card instead.  One game ordered.

    Still waiting for the labels to arrive. 

     

    Here is the detail from the tracking information:

     

    "October 19, 2020
    In Transit, Arriving Late
    Your package will arrive later than expected, but is still on its way. It is currently in transit to the next facility."

     

    As I stated, the printing company is experiencing delays due to the pandemic.

     

     

     

     

    Thanks for the update. Hang in there.  It should shake loose soon.

     

    If you don't mind me asking, where is it stuck? (What is the last facility listed?) And how long has it been stuck?

     

    I had that happen with an international package recently.  In a week, it went from Vancouver to San Francisco to Los Angeles to Philadelphia.  Then it sat in Philly for nine days. Then got to me in two.

     

    Earlier this summer, I had an item sent from the Miami area that went off-line for 11 days before it resurfaced in Memphis (for some reason).  It got to me in two days after that.

    I remember that a month or two ago, there was a list of new Atari Age games coming out (or coming out soon).

    One of them was an Atari 7800 game.  I remember Albert telling me it would be out in a month or two.

    But at this point, I cannot find that conversation or the information on those new games.

    So any information or insights that anyone can provide would be much appreciated.

     

    Thanks, Mike
