    Of the Coleco games, I only like Mouse Trap, Ladybug, and DK Jr...maybe Venture. The boxes didn't hold up at all and most are in poor condition. Collectors pay more for better condition boxes. Case in point:

    eBay Auction -- Item Number: 2524853084351?ff3=2&pub=5574883395&toolid=10001&campid=5336500554&customid=&item=252485308435&mpt=[CACHEBUSTER]

     

    If you mainly want to play, not collect, these might be good ones to pick up loose. It's cheaper, they never had overlays, you don't really need the manuals, and who wants to display crap boxes :D

     

    I'd also recommend the 7 Activision games. Worm Whomper and River Raid can be pricey, but all 7 are pretty good.

     

    River Raid on the Intellivision is my favourite version. Very well done. But yeah, it can be a bit difficult to find.

    Further to the GSP above:

     

    I did a little digging and now I see what's going on. Pitney Bowes is taking their tithe in the form of all the shipping charges. So, in my transaction history I see that the vendor got the auction amount whilst Pitney Bowes took the shipping charge.

     

    That's kind of sneaky. Depending on the shipping charge, maybe better than Pitney Bowes charging extra above them?

     

    I'm undecided.

     

    GSP is still loathsome.

    I've noticed something with the Global Shyster Program lately. I've seen some higher value auctions where the import fees are zero. Normally anything below $15 US is zero but I just purchased a Sega Master System game for $50 US with a zero charge.

     

    Not sure what's up there, but I like it.

    Other than it was a classic from the 80s. Kinda cool they made it for this system in all honesty.

     

    I have fond memories of playing B.C.'s Quest for Tires on my Commodore 64 with my sister. So much so that I purchased the cartridge and another C64 last year. I wish I never sold it in the late 80s but it offset the purchase of my Amiga 2000. Student situation and all.

     

    (I didn't buy the C64 solely for B.C.'s Quest for Tires.)

    Have you guys ever had Canadian Customs intercept a package and charge you taxes and fees? I know its rare but does it not happen anymore?

     

    I've had it happen once in the past 5+ years. That's after hundreds of shipments from US, Australia, England, France, Italy, Germany, Greece and Japan.

     

    The one time was last November for my Amiga Joyboard and Mogul Madness. It was shipped from US.
