So, what it boils down to is this. For a period of about eight years (1994-2002) Hozer Video was legit and everyone’s favorite video game “company.” After 2002, everything he made was essentially a pirate rip-off. The original poster didn’t say when he bought the carts, but being that you had to know Randy’s e-mail address after 2002 to buy his stuff, it’s a fair bet that these carts are “legit.” Unfortunately, until the OP tells us, we have no way of knowing. I think it’s probably safe, though.

Holy cow, holy cow - I had no idea of any of this was going on. Sorry for the delay, but I'm currently selling my house and spent the last few days working and prepping it to go. I would have stuck around if I had known people were talking about this.

So here's the skinny:

I was a regular lurker on rec.games.video.classic back in '93-'97. I bought the games back then because I pretty much stopped collecting around then. I had around three hundred or so 2600 and a whole bunch of other crap. I carried it around for many years, but now that I'm moving I'm trying to cut down. I sold most in a garage sale, but kept a handful of games that I figured might be good on Ebay, including the SX and Etris. I had no idea about the controversy surrounding them.

Let's see if I can dig up any old RGVC posts of mine... Uh..., here's my name in one.

Anyways, at the time I bought them everything seemed hunky-dory.

I'm getting rid of the last of my stuff.

God, that's a horrible URL. Here's a TinyURL + Preview

Started selling games again. First up:

Okie Dokie #72

#72 of the original Okie Dokie.

Four boxed Supercharger games, two new...

May 7, 2005

Okie Dokie #73, just as nice as the day I got it.

That's the rarest thing that I'm selling, everything else I'll put into a topic.

January 10, 2005

I had a bunch of these that I ebayed a few months ago. Got $120 or so for 8 of them.

Re: Fade: You can get some (tinted? Ionized? Some kind of treated...) glass for 'cabinet doors' that protects the items under it from fading. Quality framing uses it for valuable documents or easy faders, like newspapers.

Of course, you'd have to add doors to your shelves, but it's an idea...

New high for me...

November 6, 2004

I know "Man Goes Down" is the current selection for the title, but if you're not crazy about the innuendo in that, what about "The Descent of Man"?

What? Not "The Fall Guy"?

:roll:

Homebrew Logo - You know what they say, the best way to predict the future is to create it.

My humble suggestion for a homebrew logo, released into the public domain - use, abuse, ignore.

November 2, 2004

Is there an international homebrew symbol or something?

I'll see if I can work the hacker symbol into the next one...

November 2, 2004

I just read the parts that I skipped over when I was looking at the other submissions. WRT the Fuji and the Atari name and whatnot, it looks like my first entry is probably hosed. )!*#%)!#*%)#(*

Anyways, this one has Fuji on it too, with the word atari from the SF Atarian font. I'll have to go back and edit it later.

Here's mine - I'm a real novice at this, but I really dig these contests.

Quick note: I think that Justin Scott's "2001" cartridges (or whatever that is) are the most visually interesting ones that I've seen. Kudos!

November 1, 2004

P.S. The text on the tape reads:

"Coleco Game Copy"

"Tunnels And Trolls Demo"

November 1, 2004

I've got an ADAM copy cart tape that I don't know where it came from. I was never an ADAM collector, so I don't know why I had it.

I know the Bay of E wouldn't allow me to sell something like this, so if anyone is interested, just let me know...

I've always held that Atari really pooched it when they just quit trying with sports games.

Sports games really move consoles. Atari's last good sports game was RSFootball. After that, they really didn't try. 7800? Ninja golf? Please. Jag? Nope.

October 23, 2004

I've begun listing as many of the 128 games that as I can for the "Electro Boy". I updated the page:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...me=STRK:MESE:IT

But here's the list so far...

* Mariana

* Pac Kong

* Space Raid

* Some game by Suntek

* Tuby Bird

* A Homevision game

* Bi Bi

* Hey! Stop!

* Pyramid War

* Mafia

* An RJGP game

A quality producer was behind this one, yeah.

October 21, 2004

Aaaaand I still don't have the pseudo-HTML of the BB system down pat...

October 21, 2004

Aaaaaand, they're off...

Electro Boy

Patriots

Aircars

The Okie Dokie auction is coming down to the wire...

October 21, 2004

Since they're private, they can *try* and do anything they want.

Would this hold up?... I dunno, but if you got screwed it would be easy enough to raise enough hell to far outweigh whatever $30.xx profit they just made.

Conclusion: seller == jerk

October 20, 2004

Aircars

Electro Boy

Patriots

... will be going up for auction today. Here's the pictures that I've taken, before I get around to writing the auctions themselves...[/url]

October 20, 2004

...so I'm not sure where he is getting his info.

I think on that side of the pond, it would be his 'arse', guvn'r.

The proxy system is much closer to that Nobel Economic prize winner system than it is to a real-life auction.

While it seems like the buyer doesn't get as much as they should, the theory predicts that the buyer is actually getting *more* than they would under a normal system.

October 19, 2004

So what's the page?

October 19, 2004

It depends on how much you want to get out of them.

I don't know, just trying to maximize the work/return curve for 300 carts.

Mixing a few good ones in with some commons is a good idea, thanks.

October 19, 2004

I've begun getting rid of anything worth anything from my game collection. Once my dozen or so auctions are gone, then I'll bundle everything up in lots and get rid of them.

End result will leave me with 10-12 games. :sad:
