    $260 including shipping is not terrible. That means you paid about $100 each unit and if they actually work well after cleaning them up that is not bad at all. Especially considering that a good working Power Brick goes for about $30 each and that's a decent selection of games along with the driving controller and Super Action controllers.

     

    I'd suggest getting some Detoxit and taking everything apart, cleaning it up, and putting it all back together.

     

    You should also look into getting an AtariMax SD cart and maybe eventually getting the systems modded.

     

    Take a look at my "ColecoVision Fan" Facebook page as well as the "ColecoVision Lunatics" Facebook group.

     

    Enjoy the system!

    Thanks. I think I will once I get everything cleaned up and running. Time to google Detoxit.

    To be frank, I think you overpaid, especially since the units look a bit rusty. You could have gotten one or two video modded, known-working ColecoVisions for that price, as well as possibly a flash cart. With that said, as long as you get enjoyment out of it, the cost is probably not that important.

    Yea I kinda figured it might have been high but didn't think I was getting raped. Going to cost them $40-50 in shipping. I didn't know about some other options till I started looking around here and following links. I'll be cleaning them up once they arrive and going from there. My brother will be ecstatic when he receives his surprise.

    I just wanted to say Hi to the group. I bought a double lot of Colecovision stuff yesterday off ebay. Haven't played on a Colecovision since 1985 which was my older brothers console. The lot I got has two consoles which I'm going to keep one for myself and the other is going to be a surprise Christmas gift to my brother. Haven't even received my lot yet and have already started grabbing a game or two.

    Found this place and have been part of the ColecoVision fans on Fb. Looks like I have some reading and learning to do around here. Looks like a great place. Are there any other forums that are worth going to?

     

    I paid $260 shipped for this lot. Seemed fair maybe you guys can tell me if it was worth it. They are untested but I'm glad to see if I do have issues they can be fixed from the threads around here
