Just listed with 7 games. Item # 150960540200. Hopefully this link works.

I don't mean to be critical, but that's not new. Every new in box INTV II I have ever seen has a plastic sealed console inside the box and those twist ties on the power supply and video cord don't look original either. It's pretty clearly a used system in the original box that was well taken care of by the previous owner.

Your criticism is welcome. I know the pictures aren't great, but as a [obviously] fine video game connoisseur, I believe you would agree with me if you could see this in-person. You might get me to admit that it was played once, or at least undressed and plugged in (I did this as well in order to test it), but there is no dust, no fingerprint, no use at all that one could see with a very close examination. There is no Armor All or cleaner traces whatsoever. I'm a veteran seller and long-time video game and computer enthusiast, and I'd need Albert or the video game specialist from "Antiques Road Show" to be convinced otherwise.

 

EDIT: Thank you for your keen observation on the packaging/plastic seal that you mention. Oh, and you're right about the twist ties (or at least one of 'em). I put one around the video cord to be sure.

 

DOUBLE EDIT: This is also why eBay has a feature "New Other", so that sellers can disclaim open-box situations and what-have-you. After all, when you go to Best Buy and purchase an "open box" special, you do it with the understanding that someone had returned it.

Hey Batty, do you by chance know if the Intellivision 2 has any problems with Cuttle Carts?

 

 

NM, Checked the Cuttle Cart web site....works fine with all versions of Intellivision.

Ah, that's good to know. Thanks Jay, for thinking of this. I recall there are compatibility issues with Coleco Donkey Kong and some other carts with the Inty II. But yay! Not the Cuttle.
