the.golden.ax #3 Posted July 25, 2009 DoubleDown if you ever sell that thing... you have to sell it to me I'd pawn my heart or other major organ. AX Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the.golden.ax #5 Posted July 26, 2009 Honestly I'd say collectors would pay over $5K... it would be a real lightening strike situation at this point to find one somewhere that has been ignorantly stored in some basement and the person who owned it died or something like that. What did you originally invest (before the work you've done) on your doubledown... you had to go quite a distance too didn't you? AX Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

doubledown #7 Posted July 26, 2009 That's over 10x what was paid for it prior to restoration. Agreed...and any collector could easily pick up any one of the other known ColecoVision kiosks for a lot less than that. Oh wait...there aren't any known other ColecoVision kiosks.

Of course there are. What are you talking about? I know of several in collector's hands. Admittedly I haven't heard of one being sold for several years, but there isn't just one out there.

doubledown #9 Posted July 26, 2009 I personally don't doubt that there are others out there, but I don't know of anybody here or at Digital Press claiming to own one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the.golden.ax #10 Posted July 26, 2009 Okay... well I know that 2600 Kiosks go for around $2K, and Coleco are fewer. Hence the Estimate... that was all it was based on. I personally, would not pay $5K... I'd try to make one before I'd shell out "THAT" much. AX Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I went to their house and looked at it and it was bad and they did not want to sell less than $1000. someone said it was worth way more. I offered $300 since it was in need of a total redo. They were more interested in turning it into a play toy for their kids. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
