You got that right What a steal. Lol

[+thegoldenband]

Mmmm, that's a shame. I had a deal with bigbadseaserpent that went well (at least on my end of things), but this is disappointing to see. I assume the idea is to try to attract attention as a way of attracting offers, but...

[sqoon]

There is a "make offer" option, so some fun could be had.

[Intymike]

With this items he should be someone we know.

[Rev]

With this items he should be someone we know.

 

Maybe its Cmart clearing out extra inventory?

 

 

 

 

Seriously, If it somehow is someone on here, let us know what you are smoking...I want some of it!

Wait...I take everything I said back.....this auction is listed for CHARITY. Silly me!

[Numan]

Wait...I take everything I said back.....this auction is listed for CHARITY. Silly me!

 

So he's a charitable idiot?

[SoulBlazer]

Wait...I take everything I said back.....this auction is listed for CHARITY. Silly me!

 

So he's a charitable idiot?

 

I'd say.

 

I'll offer $15 for the lot and see what he says.

 

EDIT: Although in all serious that auction could be worth about $200-250.....just not as high as he's dreaming for.

Ok. let's do the math....(and just so we're clear, this is not my auction Rev! )

 

Music Synth- Does he mean postal packaging from back in the day or from when he bought it recently? I'll assume the latter. $100-150

 

Spiker - repro box adds $10 to maybe $250 for loose with manual, let's call it $300 generously because 10% is going to charity (Not to be too cynical, but how do we know that the money actually gets there?)

 

ECS - sealed - $150-200

 

Intellivoice - even sealed, still only $25

 

Homebrew games- original group of Intelligentvision ones - $500 maybe, at $125 each give or take? Especially since 3 out of the 4 either have been re-issued or are likely to be re-issued.

 

Homebrew games part 2 - newer releases - another $500, at around $70-75 each with a bit of a premium since most are now sold out.

 

So maybe $1500-1600 tops? Am I wrong?

 

Discuss.

Maybe he accidently added an extra zero when he listed it?

 

ps....are you sure this isnt your auction?

Cmart Inc only sells and trades through AA, I've never sold on ebay.....although I may have bought one or two thousand things.

yeah i know thats for sure!

 

you think the price of the original intelligentvision releases will continue to drop cause of the releases.....at least minehunter and samegame....and later space patrol?

[flammingcowz]

I had Spiker a long time ago, and have no idea what happened to it

Yah, I'm not really sure about that. The originals may just hold their value, particularly because of completists. Same Game has a different box, I'm assuming the others will too. I'm not sure how many people who have the first ones will skip the second issue. I won't be.

I suspect Cmart Inc. is more willing to ship to Canada, too.

Cmart Inc will pretty much ship everywhere, I could just use a few more helpers.

I just LOL'd reading your response.

 

I envision Cmarts basement looking like Fred Sanfords house, but instead of 70's junk.....it full of 70's video games scattered and stacked up to the ceiling in a huge horders mess. But we love our Cmart anyway!

Ok, I've heard several people mention that people will post auctions with a high price "just to attract attention". Am I the only one that sees this as a negative? Anytime I see an auction like this, the seller is added to my mental black list. I have no interest in dealing with them in any manner. This way of "selling" is just an incredible turn off to me.
