Thanks for the good word ... appreciate it! As far as resellers not on this forum, it doesn't surprise me. I wouldn't have stumbled upon this place unless I was a fan also and trying to get back into the collecting so I think that it's more of a fan thing than a reseller tool although I have learned a few things going through the forums. And, yes, I like having "idiots like you" bidding on my stuff! I wonder if eBay would setup an exception for the shipping policies to not allow international bidders unless they are a member of the INTV Brotherhood? I'll email them and ask.

Not all resellers are dicks, as a matter of fact, I have won a couple of your auctions, and I have no problem with people reselling for profit. This can be an expensive hobby, and if folks can make some extra $ flipping some games, hell why not? I think you would agree though that some are just downright dicks. Playing games with shipping, shill bidding, not wanting to honor transactions once they don't go the way you had hoped.... Yep ... can definitely agree that many are, the ones discussed here included!!! I wonder if he is a true fan of the Intellivision or if he's just trying to profit only. I think that probably makes a difference. I buy and sell cause I love playing the games, collecting, refurbishing, etc ... and making some money is a definite plus. If the money part is all that there is (and the person is a dick by nature). So the question is ... are most resellers true fans or just out to make a profit? Actually once, Pikachu found me through Closed listings of games that I had won and tried to get me to sell Stadium Mud Buggies to him for $200! That's the first time anyone's hunted me down like that and it was kind of creepy. On a COMPLETELY off subject question ... Is there a section on the forum where people do trading? I have some games that I'm interested in trading for some that I don't have yet.

First off, let me tell you that not all resellers are dicks ... some tend to be fair, honest and really nice guys As far as his shipping, even in the US, his current auction has shipping for a single game at $29.10, about 5 or 6 times the average auction. Idiocy like that needs to be reported but, since eBay started adding their fees to the shipping cost as well as the auction itself, I don't think that they care much anymore about it. And sorry, no address, and might I recommend a 24 hour cooling off period before anyone submits one.

Count me in (not sure if I added the sig correctly) ... but who's running this crazy organization? We need business cards

From a fellow newbie to the boards ... welcome and enjoy!

Sorry, but as is, with only Pong, I can't say that I would shell out 35 bucks to play pong on the Intellivision. However, as part of a larger package of small games (or with some cool additional features) I would be willing to buy with box, manual and overlays ...

Some additional, humble, thoughts: 1) Multi-Ball Pong (w/ option to select number of balls) 2) Option to select team colors 3) Special powers (option to select powers, ie longer barrier, faster hit, automatic english?) 4) Addition of the Intellivision running man holding the barriers to give it a true Intellivision feel Cart ... might be a hard sell to buy a cart for just pong ... but with some extras added in ... maybe ...

Has anyone ever played M.U.L.E. on the Commodore 64? That would be fun and not too complex?

YES!!! I'm just glad to see that it isn't one of my auctions!

This finally inspired me to download an emulator! Very cool opening sequence ... and fun to waste some time with. Very nicely done. Maybe the programmers should create a bunch of simple games and sell them all on one cart

Got a response from David @ Intellivision.us (he's always quick to respond!) with a link to purchase Yogi and Tron ... which I did this AM! Thank goodness I sell stuff on eBay as well so I have enough in the old PayPal acct Very excited to get them soon. DK Arcade was very well done and I'm looking forward to playing the others. Anyone played them yet and have a report?

I signed up for the newsletter as well ... and now it looks like Tron and Yogi are available, too? (BigBadSeaSerpent is selling them on eBay!) I emailed Intellivision.us but mayhaps I'm too late!

I was very late to order ... I emailed him and he had a wait list and that it "may be full". His email last week said "I have one DK Arcade" if you want it ... don't know if that meant that it was the last one or not. But, I'd email and ask to be put on the wait list. Worked for me

My guess to the final selling price would be $120.00 I'm just happy that I just snuck in and go the last one available so I don't have to bid on eBay! Just got mine in the mail and it looks slick! Can't wait to play it ...

Atlantis was addictive and the night scene was fantastic, definitely my favorite Imagic game. I got Dracula pretty late in my Intellivision days but remember really enjoying it. Beauty and Beast is fun as is Demon Attack. I played Fathom and really didn't get it ... I know that it's rare but seemed pretty weird. Never played Truck'n so I'm not help to you there.

Great to hear the stories. I'm new to the forum (first post, yeah!) and this is a great place to start! My father worked for GTE and, for some reason, could get the Intellivision at a discount, so that was the system that we started with. I can remember the excitement of hooking it up in the family room and playing for the first time. I was obsessed with baseball (still one of the greatest and most fun games ever). I had trouble finding people to play against so I remember playing against myself for hours practicing double plays! Also have very fond memories of playing Utopia with my mother as it was the only game that was slow paced enough that she would play. I can still remember her acting all surprised and upset when I set a rebel on her! Only recently have I begun to recollect all of the old games. I have a nice CIB collection of most of the inexpensive games and I'm torn on collecting all the games (my wife may kill me before I get that far). Now I can play baseball with my son ... it feels good!
