Smitty Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Had an amazing find today at the flea market today. 8 Shrinkwrapped (unopened) Intellivision Cassettes! 4 Conversational French 3 Basic Data Storage 1 Geography Challenge I'm going to keep one of each and add them to my collection. Not sure what these are selling for now a days. I've been trying to buy these for years and always dropped out when they went north of $500 (boxed of course). But these are shrinkwrapped. Any guess on what these will go for? Thanks! 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSRSteve Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I sold a NIS Jack LaLanne for just over $1K in 2017. The Basic Data Storage Cassettes did not do as well more recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+intvsteve Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Wow! Just... Wow! Congratulations! I gave up on flea markets when I started having kids, and after finding nothing for years. Persistence pays off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Probably a decent amount, but maybe a little less since you're doubling the known amount in circulation ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, the death of flea market finds happened around the mass production of the smart phone. Everyone looks stuff up. There are a ton of resellers in San Antonio and the flea markets are usually bone dry, especially for classic stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's still stuff out there, you never know when an old storage unit gets sold off to flea market resellers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmart604 Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Congrats on a ridiculous find. I'm betting on $500-1000 at auction. I might be interested in a sealed French. Are you after anything trade wise? My geography could use upgraded. Lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+intellivotion Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I'm speechless... My most sincere and envious congratulations! I suggest seeing if the seller at the flea market knows where they are from and if there is more stuff like that hidden in a storage unit or in a cellar. Who knows, you could also double your luck. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Lathe26 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Very impressive find! Put them up on eBay. I'd expect the Conversational French to sell for a lot but its hard to be sure. I'd say between $700 to $1400 each. As for the blank BASIC tapes, they will go for a lot less, perhaps $100-$170. Those are my guesses.
