Was it very expensive if I may ask? I bought the Canadian Turbo a couple hours ago from this same Canadian seller with the Zaxxon. I paid more than I should have, but a Buy Now FROM CANADA? I barely looked at the price. More than $200 CDN. This is the auction pic...not going to count it until I have it in my hands. It's been a loooong dry spell for me so I wasn't going to miss out on this. Edited June 16, 2021 by BigDumer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad the box was murdered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdgeOfPortal Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Well… if you can somehow justify the incredibly high asking price… or convince the seller to sell separately, there’s a loose Aquarius Melody Chase in here. https://www.ebay.it/itm/324675639382?hash=item4b982d1856:g:Q3sAAOSwcNhgxjs8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDumer Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 So now, my embarrassing story. I finished lunch today and checked eBay on my phone. That's when I saw the Canadian Turbo, complete, Buy Now, shipping from Canada (this is huge for us!). I went to buy it on my phone, but I had recently changed all my passwords and I wasn't totally sure of my PayPal password. So I ran upstairs to my computer, refreshed eBay, saw the auction listing, clicked Buy Now, confirmed my PayPal password and bought it. Yay? Unfortunately, this is when I realized that the seller had TWO Canadian Turbos for sale. Both with identical auction listing names. The one I had just bought had the cut box (to make it like a gatefold) and just the cart and manual. I didn't want that one. I wanted the one with the sticker and warranty and an intact box! So I clicked Buy Now on the other one so I don't miss it. Now I've spent over $400 CDN on TWO Canadian Turbos. I quickly messaged the seller to explain what happened and asked if he'd cancel the purchase on the one I didn't want. Thankfully he was great about it and quickly cancelled the transaction. We've been chatting a bit since then; sounds like he got a big Intellivision collection from someone and put some of the biggest games up today, and the rest will go up tomorrow. I'm not sure if someone bought that other Turbo, or if it hasn't gone back up for auction after the transaction was cancelled. All I know is that it's not there now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the last sold was the one on Auction end of last december. It reached around 1200 bucks, but eventually the winner didn’t pay for it and the seller contacted and proposed me 1.400€, because he paid 1.830 bucks in 2018, (which is confirmed by pricechart.com) Let’s se how the Panama’s one will end… I think that for that game CIB in good conditions 1.200/1.300 bucks nowadays could be a fear price… Lot of money, but the Spiker is the Spiker… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freewheel Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Before I throw them outgarage sale them for 50 cents... is anyone dying to get their hands on some of the old 25-in-1 plug and play units? Ebay prices for these are basically nil, and I need to make space. I have a CIB and 2 loose. And they're kinda superfluous when you have 8 original consoles and lots of real carts + multicarts.
