BigDumer Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 (edited) This isn't a big surprise if you've been reading the eBay Roundup thread, but this arrived today: I am shocked that it arrived today - I bought it on eBay late on Tuesday night. I am so glad that I asked the guy to upgrade to air instead of ground shipping (2/3 of the way across Canada). It's been quite a week for me thanks to excessive spending, friends finding rare items on 5-week old Quebec Facebook Marketplace posts and friends offering up generous trades. Ya, I'm teasing there but I can't count them until the item is safely delivered. So, hopefully, more posts to come in the next couple of weeks.

I’ve got a couple Intellivision items waiting for me at home that I’ve been searching quite a while for. Currently on a cruise in the middle of the Caribbean, but can’t wait to see when I get back.

Atari_Bill Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Finally unboxed things today after returning from vacation. Ended up coming down with something when he got home and haven’t had much energy. Here’s the couple of Intellivision items I picked up that I’ve been on the search for for some time. I’ve never found many of these, so when these came available, I had to make a big push for them. Very likely overpaid, but when you see something that doesn’t ever come up, you better get it then finally, being a big Sears fan, I’ve wanted this since I first saw it. Still not sure if these were sold at Sears or how they got they got to market. The seller didn’t have any history either but said he’s owned it since he got the system. It’s in rough shape, but hoping that it will clean up somewhat. It will sit nicely next to its Mattel twin. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Lathe26 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 In case you want to restore the foam inside, here's what it looks like. Mine has the original foam but it literally disintegrating. Thus, my case is unusable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omnibro Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Overpaid a bit, but it's in pretty damn good shape and the "for 1 or 2 players" variant I didn't have. So disease fed for the day / minute. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDumer Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 A couple BIG pickups for me! My most wanted game, French Canadian Popeye: Thanks a TON to Warren (he's on AA but don't know his handle) for pointing out a five-week old Facebook Marketplace from Quebec. I had to buy the whole lot and have it shipped across Canada but it was worth it! Now my most wanted game is to find a French Canadian Space Spartans for Warren! I also spent the cash to get the SEARS Checkers from eBay: Now I have all of the most difficult to find SEARS games, but I still need Frog Bog, Golf, Hockey, Soccer and Utopia. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sears Soccer was the last one I needed for quote some time until Rev sent me one. Sears Frog Bog is deceivingly rare and Hockey isn't much better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate the thought Rog! Mostly I wanted to say that the art on the SEARS games is generally great, but that Frog Bog box is awesome! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point I probably made an assumption that Soccer and Hockey were common but that's not the case. Well, at least this gives me some things to hunt that aren't silly expensive.

Hockey isn't too terrible to get but you have to look every day since they go fast once one pops up. Backgammon is a nightmare to find CIB! Not as bad as Checkers but still rare. I have a very nice copy of BG that I will be taking to PRGE to help The Most Interesting Italian In the WorldTM complete his set 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
