    Has anybody received any of the games (with marker IDs on them) from the seller on Ebay yet?

    Im curious if anyone was able to lighten or remove the markings. He has alot of games to sell, all with marker damage. He bought the stock from an old rental store. All of the boxes and manuals have the marker numbers.

    I finally got around to attempting to lighten/remove the marking from the box... I was partly successful as noted in the pictures.  This particular box had the number in marker and also in red pen.  Surprisingly, the one in pen came off rather easy using an art eraser and not too much pressure.  Luckily the background was white so that helped.  I tried it on another box that was green and wasn't as successful.  So for the marker I used rubbing alcohol and slight pressure and that worked to an extent.  When I rubbed too hard it started to damage the colors underneath so I stopped there.  The number was also etched on the cart, good for inventory but bad for collectors.  no number written on the manual though.  Not the best condition but this Checkers FCTVVO will have to do for now.

    I was going to bid but couldnt stay awake long enough..lol.  Too bad they are all damaged with Permanent marker. I was going to put a $45 bid in.. just because of all the games.. but they are still damaged. There are a few ways to try and get the ink off but because of the thickness of ink & long time it has been on there, i doubt it would lift much... maybe just lighten it a bit. I'm not too upset i didnt get it. It would be a good buy if you needed it though.

    I'll report on how bad the Permanent markings are / whether it's repairable.

    I tried for a couple of things he had but last second snipes by new pretty new users took me out. Enough for me to consider him a bit fishy. 

    I've followed a few of his auctions and items sell for outrageous prices and then sometime later he has the same items for sale again.  Fishy indeed...

    There’s actually at least 3 in there - Backgammon, Poker, Armor Battle.  I’m guessing a few sports ones could be as well.

    and that FCTvVO Armor Battle is also a bit more special: it has a printing error

    Oh man.... I didn't even see Armor Battle was there too...  ?  Have to make sure I wear my ? so as not to miss anything.  

  5. Foiled yet again on a a game lot that included two FCTVVO games... https://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-24-INTELLIVISION-VIDEO-GAMES-PLUS-VOICE-SYNTHESIS-MODULE-/143383928004?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&nma=true&si=DAq0pBTjIlcj8WsOD89%2FGrk6yZw%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc

     

    I guess $104.77 isn't crazy, I figured that each one was worth @$40 plus the commons.... and once it went over $100 I made one last impulse bid but still lost.  Hoping to get lucky and find them for less at some point.

    I was looking at that one too, but the price got a little on the high side for me.

    Pretty HTF Checkers variant...and to a lesser extent Backgammon:

    Congrats to the lucky winner.

    Foiled yet again... I have had NO luck with the FCTVVO variants.  At the prices that these go for, it's the cost of a new game.  Ugh. ?
