It has led to some great pickups, but it’s also led to spending more than I ever planned. It’s hard to see something that’s a great deal and NOT say, I can’t pass that up. That’s why I’ve been trying to sell extra stock. I’ve been working through Atari 2600 stuff for months now and finally got everything tested and working on pricing. Once that’s done, Intellivision stuff is next. The amount of that will easily take months to get through as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in Europe it’s difficult to catch the good deals cuz there is 6 hours time leg (at least) so we miss all stuff listed during your afternoon/evening…?

BigDumer Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 (edited) Sealed Intellivision Inc. Backgammon on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/165584372680?hash=item268d9903c8:g:0vYAAOSwM4di04iu The seller posted this on reddit yesterday with a "Why doesn't this have the ABPA license" - so I DM'd him to tell him that this is a pretty desirable game. I've never seen a sealed one. Now, it is far from perfect condition and that will be a factor. I made what I think is a fair offer for it, but was totally honest that the crazy sealed collectors might pay a lot more. If I had bought it, I would have opened it. So he made the smart call to post it on eBay. Haha, but if someone DOES win this auction to replace their non-sealed copy, maybe think of me for your old one. And forget that I called you crazy above. Edited July 18, 2022 by BigDumer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seller retracted the sale and claim that the item is no longer for sale. Now i see that he put it back up, but now as an auction item. Scum bag!

Kamikazi26 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 To add to my previous comment, I do consider myself highly knowledgeable on shrink wrapped games on the Intellivision ( I have one of the top three biggest original shrink wrapped game collections). This shrink wrapping material is not used on Intellivision games. Notice the single hole punch in the shrink wrap? This is to let the air out when the material is shrinking. It gives it a nice tight seal without trapping air inside and making the shrink wrap expand like a balloon. Intellivision never used this material. Mattel or Intellivision inc. Further more, there appears to be a “10.99”written on the top left corner of the game box under the shrink. There is also wear marks & damage to the sides and bottom of the box (looking at the front cover view) under the shrink wrapping. This plus other signs lead me to conclude without doubt that this is not an original Shrink wrapped game, but rather a re-wrap done by a 3rd party store long ago in order to sell games and avoid customers to open the box and take items. I hope the highest bidder does not get fooled. My 2 cents.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has happened to me numerous times. Unfortunately, its usually another collector (that missed out on the deal) that gives the information to the seller. I dont get involved after ive missed out. Good for whoever is quick enough to get it at a good price i say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, i can try to win it... then open it up (on Video) to see if it is in fact original. We can see whats what. How does that sound? I dont need the game so it will be available if anyone needs it after. Dumb idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not your fault, but I know the guy you inadvertently screwed over.. LOL Ah, geez. It was posted on r/retrogaming and the post had no replies after 8 hours. Just someone wanting to know why this version looked different than the others. I really want an Intellivision Inc. Backgammon so I DM'd him to see if I could make a deal, but I admit to being honest that the item is rare and making what I consider a fair offer. I'm not surprised that my offer, much higher than the $25 BIN led him to post it as an auction. Luc, my apologies to your fiend, whatever that is worth. I'd be super bummed if my amazing deal got taken away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
