F/A ColecoVision Controllers: Mine but not mine

[doubledown]

I just ran across a couple of auctions on Ebay for the Spectravideo Quickshot Deluxe III controllers for the ColecoVision on Ebay. The pictures for both, are a picture I took to post on my website and that I later uploaded to the Kaotic Games Page. Notice the "Kaotic Games Page" watermark in the lower left corner. Strangely enough I don't see anywhere in the description that states that the photo doesn't represent the actual items being bidded on, weird.

Be weary for any potentional bidders.

You can be nice and contact the seller and ask him to remove your picture, or if it's hotlinked you can REALLY have some fun!

I actually did email the seller and ask about the picture(s), and whether or not the worked. He actually posted my question in the 2nd auction...

 

Q: Hi, is this the actual controller you are selling, or just a picture from someone elses auction/website? It looks to be in good shape is why I ask. Also, has either of the 2 you are selling been tested? Thanks!

A: both have been tested work very nice it is like mint condition came with boxes but box was trashed i would be happy to send you more pics of the controller

 

Hmmmm....I had these on my watch list...it didnt dawn on me that the pics were stolen. Maybe I should ask for add'l pics...

If you request additional photos he may contact Doc Kaos (Kaotic Games Page being where the picture was stolen from) and ask for more pictures from Doc. In which case Doc will contact me asking me for additional pics so that he can send to the guy and then the guy can send to you. If anyone here is looking for one of these controllers send me a PM, I've got about a dozen of them. And I guarantee mine will look as good as the ones in the picture that I initially took on my kitchen table.

Doubledown has some sweet stuff and really knows his ColecoVision stuff!

 

Hey Doubledown... how goes that slick Coleco Display? Any pics to show off? By the way, send me a PM with some prices on a Modded Coleco when you get a moment.

Crazy thing is Doc Kaos is a good friend of mine. Good to see he's getting his 15 minutes.
