Nice catch, even a dirty one without edge label might be a nice find if it works. If you happen to find one of those double labeled Zircon carts with a demo-label under - it could be restored into full glory. Should you be looking to get a complete Chess cart set, I'm selling one on eBay at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My heart started pounding for a brief second before I realize you´re talking about Saba and not Videocart #19. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 Why is this #20 over $900? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikebloke Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Good question. I mean it is good condition but that's 2 people who bidded over $900, I'm not sure if I'd pay that for a full set CIB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_Bill Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 If the bids are real (that’s a big if) it’s obviously 2 collectors that have no monetary concerns, collect only in the best condition, and are willing to pay ANYTHING to get what they need. If that’s true, should be interesting to see final price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e5frog Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Wow, best condition I have seen. So it's an "all the money I can spare"-item. $900 is too much (for me). Nice of the seller to start off high, 20 or so people don't have to bid, hope and pray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashevent Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Im waiting to see if it gets re-listed. I mean that set that had the much rarer #19 went for way cheaper. I mean it looks complete and in great shape but $900? we'll see if those are actual bids. I've seen other "fake bids" drive stuff high, pull out and then the seller has to re-list.

Nice of the seller to start off high, 20 or so people don't have to bid, hope and pray. Actually I think it started at $4, then bidder 2 and 3 gone up to 900. Yes I did wonder if its a fake bid, but then did the second person just keep bidding for the sake of seeing how high it would go up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted April 10, 2020 Author Share Posted April 10, 2020 Played some Multicart today. This is the best thing that has ever happened to me while playing Channel F: The picture quality seems to fade in and out. I pull on the cord connected to the TV and that fixes it sometimes, so I think it might have something to do with that. But I don't want to mess with it for fear of breaking it...

lazzeri Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) Yeah, I’m actively looking for one of those for three or four years now. It’s been two years since I’ve seen the last one on eBay. It went for some insane amount of money (USD 760 or 780 IIRC) but apparently that was an unmissable opportunity. ?

It'd probably be too much money for me to even bid on anyway. #15 came. It didn't want to work very well in the beginning, but apparently as I played it more, the better it got. Now it works fine. I guess it hasn't been played since shortly after it was bought or something? I wonder why it didn't come with the manual and box then.

My Channel F collection is only missing Videocarts 6, 19, 22, and 25 (well, and Democart). That's probably just the way it's going to be, and I've made peace with it. It's not like I'd be playing a lot of slot machine, poker, checkers, or basic math games anyway. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
