There are already two Intellivision moulds....why not three? :-)

Problem is shipping

Even if I used someone's else cases

 

Good example is when the Mattel shells were shipped to us

Alot of money wasted in shipping

 

And we already have Moldex working with us

What kind of price do you need? We should talk. I think you over estimate the shipping costs.

Get me a good price on both shells and shipping and I will buy shells from you

I will contact you

I'm in the homebrew scene since 2008

I always honored sales and never had problem

If you feel like there should be an update, post here, I will be happy to answer question(s) and give an update

If you're kind of upset by the delay, I appologize, sincerly

There's ALOT of changes this year at CollectorVision

To Williams point, I provided a large chunk of Mattel cart shells for many of the 1st Intelligentvision games and when removing the circuit boards the weight/shipping cost is not too bad when done in bulk and packed tight.

That's exactly what we've done with the recycled Mattel shells

We removed all PCBs from shells

Don't missunderstood me

 

We produced brand new Colecovision shells

Our prices are A WAY LESS than prices asked here for INtv shells

I'm clearly not against making a bit profit on each shell sold since, you always have to pay the initial cost of the mold and you always have to pay for the machine Set up ..... + making some bucks is ok as well ...

 

BUT.....

Even then prices doesn't seems quite right

Ask me to buy some CV shells just so you can see

I'm not asking that much

Mainly because I want more homebrewers making games

Always a good thing if prices can be kept low especially on a bulk order which hopefully allows for a modest profit as well. Getting usable Mattel shells is not as easy as many would think - many of the "125" don't have screws and are not usable (more than 1/2 believe it or not).

Where do old PCBs go after they have their shells removed?

 

Electronics recycling?

Trash?

Hoarding pile?

 

...Or do they just grow a bigger shell after molting?

I was planning a future Polish multi-cart: One empty Mattel cart shell and like 25 different cart motherboards:-) Would sell it cheap for people who aren't collectors and on extremely tight budget but want to play the games. Better than throwing them out. And I could give cmart something else to look for as many PCBs are different:-)

Will it come with a key ring to put them on? :P Now, if these were Aquarius PCBs that Aquarius key ring would be perfect!

Testing is always open ended. Maybe an update at the end of each week from here on in? It'll keep us off your back and we'll feel better being in the know.

 

Well said.
