Foolish People Who Don't Do Their Research

[IntellivisionDude]

Listen to how much he says he paid for this lot of games. I was about to leave a comment on his video to tell him he got a great haul of games, but that was until he said what he paid. i'm dumbfounded.

 

He mentions the price at about 5:35 in. I'm not gonna spoil it just yet.

Is it that expensive? I thought he may paid 500 or 1.000 Dollars, but it seems not that much overpriced. I wont spoil the price, because you didnt, but just calculate what he had paid per game and remind the value of a boxed master component. Its no bargain, but its not even close to be folish, stupid or something else. Maybe I dont get the joke

As long as he is happy nothing wrong with the price. If you can afford it then as they say it is worth whatever someone is willing to pay. It has a LOT to do with these items being accessible/obtainable relative to where you live. Dumbfounded, I don't see why, not everyone has connections to the Intellivision collecting community or can find good deals.

Pity the person who wants such things but cannot afford them at any price, someone like this clearly has the money and is happy to pay it.

I just gave an Intellivision to a friend of my brother's who LOVES Baseball, and lost his Intellivision in a nasty divorce.....she is holding it hostage.....so, I gave him one.......you can't find them at garage sales or thrift shops anymore.

[IntellivisionDude]

Ouch you guys are letting me have it. lol

 

Someone close this thread before the brotherhood kill me.

Master Component boxed: 40 - 50$

Math Fun: 8$ (sometimes cheaper, sometimes more expensive)

Word Fun: 8$ (same as Math Fun)

Microsurgeon: 8$

Dustcover (like it or not): 12$

 

Makes around 80$

 

There are 32 more CiB games and 11 cartridges. The condition of the boxes looks okay, so I really cant see why its a bad price, you also have to keep in mind the shipping costs for every game if he buys it in a single game auction. To tell the truth, I am a bit dumbfounded about the headline of this thread.

I guess i'm still living in the past and going by 1-3 years ago prices when you'd be foolish to pay more than $60-80 for that lot.

[Ignorama]

60-80$ for a 45 games + console lot? Really? To tell the truth, I am very happy the times have changed since that, because it hurts me to see that the worth of the Intellivision is close to zero ^^ I also hate the price increase for games like Congo Bongo, because its starting to be sick, but its also a shame if good shaped games from the 80s are worthless.

Dude, prepare for your lashings It's overpriced for pros like us, but not bad considering what people pay for say an Xbox 360 and say 10 games at $50 each. Depending on how much value you attribute to the vintage aspect of it, it's not a bad price st all. Like William mentioned, try finding one of these locally. In St. Louis, I have seen zero consoles at garage sales and flea markets. Gamewise, I've seen a single pitfall CIB. Trade N Games never has consoles, but carries games. I found another game store selling a loose console, but wanted $80 (no games included).

 

The dust cover would sell on eBay for $20 BIN. The boxed console would eventually sell for $80 BIN. 35ish boxed games at $2-3 each isn't terrible. I was thinking that if he said anything over $200, it would be high, but it was still close. Put another way, I bet I could get $150-200 for that lot parted out properly.

Please, for the love of all that is holy, someone convince one of our resident game developers to make Las Vegas Russian Roulette! LO-f#cking-L! :-)

[Ignorama]

I like the way of thinking of this collector. If I see a box which has a name on its cover I just think "damn, that sucks", but his first reaction was "may the developer?"

 

There are some funny things in this video, so I never heard of the Intellivision game Space Attack (I wonder if he ever will find the right console for this game)

wouldnt it just be russian roulette? gotta have it show the one bullet in the cylinder then you have to take turns rolling the dice and whatever number you get is how many rotations of the cylinder you get before you fire it Edited April 29, 2013 by pimpmaul69

Lol, Space Attack is made by Mattel. It's the Atari version of Space Battle. I can't wait to see how he reacts when he realizes he sticking it in the wrong hole

[Ignorama]

I would also like to see his reaction if someone tells him what "new in box" means

wasnt there a proto under that name as well?

[Rev]

I didnt watch the video, how much did he pay?

[Ignorama]

220

[Games For Your Intellivision]

The console wasn't in great condition.... but enough there to make it worth the price.

 

I wonder if he tried sticking that M-Network game in his Intellivision?

It is all perspective. Where I live in a small Canadian city I would never find anything like that locally. If I found a lot like that on Ebay I would be ecstatic if I could receive it shipped to my door from the USA for maybe $150 . Remember it is all getting more rare by the year to.
