thanks!

I have 3 colecovisions which all have some sort of issue. I decided I'd sacrifice the worst looking one and try to do a composite AV mod (as well as power switch cleaning). I grabbed 5-11 under's instructions and went to Radio Shack. Grabbed the potentiometer and transistor no problem, but didn't know which resistor to get. They come in various wattages and I didn't know which watt I should get. Help?

all these years later, and kevincal is still the worst. free bump!

Everyone here who has taken a business law class raise your hands. Remember the section about about offers and acceptance? When a store puts a price on an item, an offer has not been made. The offer is made when the customer takes the item to a cashier. Say you walk into a grocery store and see an apple with a price sticker of $1 on it. When you grab that apple and take it to a register, you are saying "I will offer you $1 for this apple." The store doesn't have to sell you the apple for $1. The store can decline your offer. That is one reason why they can fight miss priced items. Though it has become customary, in an effort to keep a happy customer, for stores to honor the prices they put upon stuff, mistakenly or not, they are not legally bound to. It is not the store offering to sell you the apple for $1 and you accept. You are offering to pay $1 for the apple and then the store has to accept. Would I personally screw over $400 for $15? No. But for whatever reason, Best Electronics would, and had every right to do so. They are not "shady" for declining your offer, and from what I saw in the email, they even pointed out why the price change in their initial response to you. It's jerky, but it's their right to be jerks. It's your right to shop somewhere else. And you did come across (to me, because of course tone is in the eye of the beholder) a bit jerky in your response in the first place.

Well, worth is relative. I know how much it gets listed for on ebay, and your original price was a deal in comparison, but still not "worth" it for me. Good luck though, Great seller guys!

I believe there are more important things to worry about.

Damn, should have grabbed Dragon Ball Designer last time.

I think you nailed it. I just put it up against pitfall for the intellivision and the shell for this is just a bit larger than the pitfall shell. Mystery solved, thanks!

Did the atari computer carts come in different widths for the carts and boards? Here's a pic of it up against star raiders.

I don't think so. The board is too big. I don't have pitfall II on hand to compare it to, but here's a pic of my mystery cart on top of Colecovision donkey kong.

and if so, how come I can't find it on any lists of games for the Inty?

Sold him a promo Atari 2600. Paid fast, communicated well, overall a pleasure to deal with.

I'll take 20 copies of Super Mario 3 for it.

There's really no interest in this? I won't mind keeping it or throwing it on eBay, but...wow.

I'm going to be taking offers for this system. Included is the system, two joysticks, a set of paddles, the switch box, and power supply. Also included it the box. The box is in pretty good shape, but as you can see the one side flap is kinda beat. The system is in great shape and works perfectly. Take a look and if you're interested, send me an offer. I'd really prefer to not ship outside of the US, but if you're a long time member or have a decent feedback profile, we can talk. In addition to the "promotional use only" stamp on the bottom of the system, there is also the number 371.

How about $10 and you bring it to me.

I have a loose Yoshi's Story for sale. Looks like some schmuck tried to black out the not for resale sign. Tested and works like it's supposed to. I'm open to offers and will only accept paypal. Thanks!

Received mine over the weekend. Tried it out on my Nomad. Unsurprisingly, that is not the optimal way to play the game

I had one a long time ago. It was cool playing Zero Tolerance with it! But that was about it! It is composite only and as I recall, the graphics were very washed out.

$405

Purchased a coleco controller. It was exactly as described and shipped quickly. Thanks!

I bought an item. He shipped the item quickly. He shipped the item in an oversized box to ensure the item didn't get killed en route. I'm glad I bought the item from this seller. You should buy items from this seller too.

You can't blame sellers for the high prices. The items can only sell for as much as they do because there are enough buyers willing to spend it. I could throw Combat on eBay with a BIN of $100. No one is going to buy it. There is no reason in the world that Final Fantasy VII gets the kind of money it does. It was a multi million seller BEFORE it went greatest hits. It wasn't all that long ago that the local game store had literally stacks of that game in their showcase for $7.99. Then the movie came out and all of a sudden the nerds had to have the game and were willing to pay obscene amounts of money for it. What kind of seller is going to say to himself, "Hey, even though everyone else is getting $30 - $70 dollars for this game, I know this game isn't worth half of that. I'm only going to sell it for $10."
