+cmart604 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Yah that's pretty hard to find but it's maybe $40-50 rare especially with the box in terrible shape. I'd offer $25 if I needed it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the decimal is in the wrong place. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/133335208851 OK, what is going on here. This exact copy was posted on the Vancouver Video Game Buy, Sell and Trade Facebook group over a month ago. I didn't have a Canadian Mouse Trap so I messaged him and agreed to buy it for $12 but he didn't reply to my last message and I didn't think it was worth following up for a rough Mouse Trap so I left it. I checked his post a few weeks later and it was marked as sold, so I forgot about it. He still has it posted on the FB group: Well, earlier this week I was searching eBay and saw this exact copy posted (though I don't think it had this price...maybe I didn't notice?). It was listed from Sumas, WA which is right over the border from the FB post above which is in Chilliwack, BC. So I bumped my old FB messenger chat with him from over a month ago to see if it was still available, and he said it was. So we agreed to meet, and today I bought it for $12. Yes, it's rough but at least I have one to build on: The guy was nice and doesn't seem like he's scamming anyone. I also bought a Canadian Royal Dealer for a box upgrade. So this post for $2228.99 must be some sort of mistake. I'll message him to see what he has to say. EDIT - I don't know anything about selling on eBay. Perhaps because he sold it outside of eBay he obviously can't sell it again, but for some reason doesn't want to take down his eBay listing so he raises the price to a ridiculous level where nobody will buy it?

Awesome! That's a really hard version to come by. For $12 you can't go wrong. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y’know, I feel I am pretty knowledgeable about variants at this point (though far from the expert) but I am embarrassed to admit that I totally didn’t know about the Mouse version. It’s not listed on INTVFunhouse and somehow, even though I have looked at this post on the FB group many times in the last month, I didn’t notice that it was different than the “Plays like the real arcade game” version on INTVFunhouse. So I learned about a new (rare) Canadian variant and got lucky to get it even though it had been for sale for over a month!

+JasonlikesINTV Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 I'll have to see if I have this one.

And the gatefold, the Intellivision Inc. and the Canadian. What can I say - it was one of my favourites as a kid. It seems to have a bad reputation as a poor Centipede knockoff but I still enjoy it. It’s so satisfying when you position the honeycombs just right to trap the bees and create beehives.

+intvsteve Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 I've always struggled to bring myself to get into the Coleco / CBS variations seriously. The boxes are so fragile and the games mostly not that great that it demotivates me.
