Pixelboy Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 (edited) I'm posting this message for all of you who do not read the ColecoVision sub-forum regularly. I have organized a group purchase of silver-boxed Sunrise ColecoVision games from a friend in Italy who has old stocks of these games that he wants to sell. The plan is to have these games shipped from Italy to Canada in a single large shipment, and then split and shipped again from Canada to buyers' locations. Buyers only pay for shipping from Canada (Montreal) to their locations. (I'll be paying for shipping between Italy to Canada.) Here is the list of Sunrise ColecoVision games offered: - Quest For Quintana Roo - Mountain King - Gust Buster - Rolloverture - Campaign '84 Each game is 26$US (shipping not included). All games come in SILVER boxes (not yellow), and are all brand new. You can buy anywhere from one single game to all five games. This group purchase has been underway for a few days now, and as I'm writing this, I already have 8 customers who pre-ordered all 5 games. I'll be extending this offer to no more than 3 more customers (assuming all 3 customers order all 5 games, that is) because shipping all these games from Italy to Canada will surely become expensive. You can find the original ColecoVision sub-forum thread here. Send me a PM if you are interested in purchasing any of these games. Post any questions you may have in this thread, and I will answer to the best of my abilities. Thank you. EDIT: Just so there is no misunderstanding, EACH game is 26$. Buying all 5 games will cost you 130 bucks. Edited January 23, 2011 by Pixelboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelboy Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 (edited) Okay, I reached my quota of orders, and in record time no less. I'm not sure what I should do at this point. Should I stop now or go for a third group of 6 customers? One thing's for sure, I will not be repeating this group purchase operation after I close it officially. So maybe I should give more people a chance while I can...? Let's do it this way: Feel free to contact me if you still want in on this little deal, but from this point on, I'm only guaranteeing that I will honor additional orders if I get enough orders to cover 6 groups of 5 games. If I do reach that magic number, then that will be the official end of it. If I don't quite reach this new quota, I'll have a talk with my friend in Italy and then I'll decide what to do.

Pixelboy Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 One more client ordered 2 sets... Down to 4 available sets of 5 Sunrise games... I received a request to know if some kind of arrangement could be made for people in Europe. All I can say at this point is that I'm willing to discuss it with Max (my friend in Italy) the next chance I get. Problem is, Max is pretty busy at the moment, and he travels a lot, so he doesn't have time to handle such a group purchase like I do. I live in Canada, so having the sets shipped from Italy to Canada and then back to Europe is kind of pointless. If I could find someone somewhere in Europe who would be willing to act as "reshipper", perhaps we could organize an extension of this group purchase specifically for european customers... If you live in Europe and are interested in helping with this, send me a PM and we'll discuss the details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelboy Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 Down to 3 available sets, with one other customer on the fence, so there may be actually only 2 sets left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelboy Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 Quota reached! As of right now, this group purchase operation is definately closed, for North America at least. If no one steps forward to handle Europe, that'll be the end of that. Thanks to all who jumped on this bandwagon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelboy Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 I have found someone, based in Belgium, who generously offered his services as "reshipper" for the European continent. So now this group purchase operation is back on, but only for participants in Europe. Same deal as before applies here, but with a small adjustment: Each games will be 28$ instead of 26$. The extra couple of dollars will serve to pay for shipping the games from Italy to Belgium. If you live somewhere in Europe and are insterested in purchasing between one and all five of these games, send me a PM. As for North American participants who didn't slip in their order in time, sorry, that ship has sailed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelboy Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 It seems this european extension is not doing as well as the North American group purchase. I have orders recorded for three sets so far, and possibly a fourth, so if I can get just two more european customers I think I'll stop it there.

Pixelboy Posted January 23, 2011 Author Share Posted January 23, 2011 This group purchase is now closed. Many thanks to everyone who participated. I will be contacting Max (my friend in Italy) later today, and I will keep all participants informed as things move along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smurfbert Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Dammit, I missed these games yet again. Please Teampixelboy, if another purchase, I would like to buy all five. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
