Tombstone

Thanks. I pretty much want to keep all of the hex discs that i come across but i have too many other collecting interests and have to be satisfied with the two i have kept. I do also own a cib telegames heavy sixer set including two of the super elusive Sears hex disc controllers. Those two took me years to find. That's the joy of collecting though!

It's my auction. The hex disc is metal and it looks exactly like the two that are included in my personal cib heavy sixer set. I am always skeptical with these as well but this one is real. There are fakes out there that are made of heavy paper stock but i have yet to come across a repro/fake made of metal. If you need better pics i would be happy to provide you with some, not to mention an AA member discount on the price. Sean

Winter Games is excellent. Epyx knew how to make entertaining games and this, in my opinion, is one of their best. I mean not only do you get Bobsledding, but you get the Luge too! And Biathlon.........i rest my case.

Can't argue with you on that one. Missile Command ending is pretty iconic.

Purchased Cakewalk, cart and manual, from RiffRaff. Superfast shipment, great communication, excellent packaging for these rare items, and great overall transaction. Thank you.

C'mon CPU, you know that's the very first e.t. produced. It's cart #1. You can tell by the.......aw screw it, I can't even keep a straight face.

So this person has taken it upon themselves to be the "hall monitor" for shill bidders and is on the lookout for folks he feels are doing this.....AND he knows you are an AA member. Sounds like a peach.

Sorry man. I have seen your posts a lot on AA and you seem like a good guy. I saw the one earlier in this thread about your desire to have the Cakewalk auction and I knew it would go high most likely since there was at least two of us that wanted it badly. I wondered if the other last second bid was indeed you.

Yes, no more international shipping for expensive items for me either. The lack of signature confirmation coupled with eBay's lame ass policies make this a no-brainer. I don't trust the Global Shipping Program either at this point. No specific bad experience with it, just gunshy.

God I wish i had some more money right now!

Happy winner of Cakewalk right here. I have been after that one for awhile. Sorry to hear about your other auctions. That's no bueno.

Williamc purchased some items from me months ago and the transaction was hassle-free perfect. Would deal with again without hesitation.

Excellent person with whom to deal. Sold him a box from his want list and communication was great. Thank u!

I have a Sears heavy if u r interested. PM if so.

PM me of you r still looking. My garage is full of consoles, joysticks, paddles, games, adapters, etc. It's a sickness for sure.

Wow, did not even know this existed. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Incredibly-Rare-1982-ESI-Vectrex-Mini-Cade-Counter-Top-Arcade-Machine-minicade-/221831584171?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item33a63159ab

I have a few as well. I will check in the morning and see what i have.

I think as time has revealed more and more the true rarity of games the scale has adjusted accordingly. It by no means has stopped adjusting. A few games are known in terms of their very limited quantity as the programmers have been contacted and interviewed and have given a fairly reliable sense of the number of games that were produced. Others remain a mystery but likely the developers will be discovered and more info gained as time goes by. Ebay, like it or hate it, has revealed a truer rarity of many games, including Chuckwagon. There are members here who can answer this better than I can, but this is my two cents. I am convinced there are folks here who have stuff that only a very select few even know about, which is fine. It only makes collecting for the 2600 more fun. Someone here likely has a lone copy of something like Water Raid by Menavision, a Xante copy of E.T., or Video Death by Commavid. Hell, someone here may even have the real Holy Grail tucked away somewhere. At any rate, Air Raid seems to be the Big Sexy right now in terms of overall popularity but I am not convinced it is THE Holy Grail. I would like to see Eli's Ladder in its entirety (meaning overlay, charts, etc.) go on eBay and see how it would fare compared to a CIB Air Raid. And of course those you mentioned that are limited to one or two known copies would be interesting auctions as well. Nice post

list updated above, again

Just opened up a PayPal dispute with them as well. Ordered a manual and some catalogs on May 16th. Not a word regarding shipment and no response to emails. Based on what I've read here I won't be ordering from the site anymore. Certainly won't be buying from their eBay store either.

I have spares of all of them except for Star Ship if you are still interested. I assume you are after the carts with the numbered end labels and not later renditions of them. Sean
