It should be possible to track down the guys who worked at Quelle in the 80s here in Germany. They could than give us first hand information where they got the games from.

Quelle was a mail order company in Germany: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quelle_GmbH They sold the low budget games under their own brand. Maybe Klaus Ollmann from Atari Germany still knows the names of the purchasing agents at Quelle. Should be possible to get first hand information.

Did you get my PM?

You can use Visio to create the diagram.

I wonder why eBay doesn't extend the auction time every time a higher bid has been placed. I'm sure many items would than sell for more.

I don't think anyone will ever sell 500 (actually they have 1,000) PSUs for the Lynx. There are so much more Lynx games and parts than collectors.

It is definitely the factory shrinkwrap, the original sticker from the International Division is also on the shrinkwrap.

I got this copy of Jungle Hunt today, which I thought would be the PAL release. Atarimania also has this box style only listed as PAL: http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-2600-vcs-jungle-hunt_8054.html I was quite surprised to find an "N" on top of the box, under the factory shrinkwrap. I haven't seen such an "N" on any box yet. So I assume this is an NTSC release?

Everything was in smaller boxes in the large box and then padding around everything. And all the games were in protectors in the boxes. Looks like it has been fallen of the truck on the highway.

I got 5 big boxes full of games and consoles today, which a buddy shipped to me. One of the boxes had a tape on it from USPS "received in damaged condition". When I opened the box I found a formely brand new and now damaged Odyssey console, 6 squashed Astrocade games (these were in a seperate box and in protectors and are still squashed), 4 squeezed PC games and a damaged sealed Intellivision Pinball. And if that isn't enough, that wasn't even the box my buddy shipped to me. He shipped another of the large boxes to me and it has been repacked into the smaller HP box. They probably didn't have a larger box, so they just kept the brand new Atari 2600 console which was also in the box. Thanks USPS for damaging and stealing my stuff!

As he said, the condition of the box is what matters. Please post pictures.

I want a CIB copy!

To me it looks like the seller doesn't really want to sell, just wants to show off what he has or not has. Who knows. I don't care about him and his ego.

Is it possible to fill out the customs declaration online and have USPS pick up the packages?

One of my packages (with 13 sealed Atari 2600 games ) has been lost. Claim was made 05/16 and USPS said they will reply no later then 06/08. Actually it was not USPS who has "lost" the package but DHL in Germany.

Wow, nice one. How many does this make now in the last few years? I can think of several now at least. Not really a nice one. The bottom flaps are torn.
