Dusk2600 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 im the one selling it- i dont have many posts here under this handle, but cpuwiz would vouch for me i think... so- if anyone has any questions RE it- feel free to shoot me a message willie Thats a nice item whats the story behind it? did u buy it back in the day? did u get it not knowing the value? also i estimate it may take a little while to sell because it def is worth the price but to find the right buyer may take a few tries. Good luck nonetheless with the sale and your new music business Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck nonetheless with the sale and your new music business unfortunetely i did not get it back in the day.. i bought it a few years ago. this will be the only public auction of it- if it does not sell i will just hold it and sell privately in the future. i sold a loose video life a few years ago here in these very forums to finance this new one. i think that loose one took two days to sell for 2000 plus shipping... and that had a pretty rough label. i bought it as a long term investment- i used to play the loose copy and i actually dug the game. thanks for the kind words regarding my new music business- it is definetely my new found life focus willie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omegamatrix Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Wow, that is one hell of an auction. Way out of my league, but if someone is willing to pay $1,500 for a loose Pepsi Invaders then why not $5000 for a mint, original boxed Video Life? There are very few people that have that kind of reserves (I can only think of one). Who knows. Man only 20 made, eh? This is a rare opportunity.

plaidbrad3141 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 That is very cool. Now if I sell 5 heavy sixers on Ebay each with a BIN of $1000 I'll be set....lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those of you who don't know Willie, he probably has the biggest Colecovision collection out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Colecovision, but never found a Colecovision site like AA. I've always just collected for the 2600 as I found alot of info here. I would love to see a great Colecovision collection let alone the biggest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to see a great Colecovision collection let alone the biggest. i dont have any pics, but that is the one collection i will NOT be parting with for the label. i was looking at teh collection today and was kind of amazed at it myself... i forgot a lot of the cool stuff.. i have a lot of protos and every released game (US) complete except for sir lancelot / robin hood double ender. i didnt even remember having Cabbage Patch Kids Workout CES proto... that was a fun re-discovery today willie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpendTooMuchOnAtari Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Were there really only 20 ever made? I know the description listed right here on AtariAge of the game states that it is believed fewer than 500 were made. Well, I know 20 is indeed fewer than 500 but that is a big gap. Anyone have any idea of which is more accurate. By the way, this is an amazing auction and I am certainly not trying to question your statement to discourage your auction. I am only curious about the big difference in estimates regarding how many were made available. Good luck, I hope it sells for you and goes to a good home.

I know the description listed right here on AtariAge of the game states that it is believed fewer than 500 were made. This information came from the original owners of CommaVid, who sold everything they had stashed away to Sean K. and John H., IIRC they also signed over the rights to CommaVid to them.

This complete one is very sexy though. If I remeber correctly, this was NOS from the commavid sale which makes it as mint as they come. One question though, is the label on right on this one? I thought one of these had an upside down label. GL with the sale, as I just dropped a ton on cash on SNES stuff, otherwise I'd be thinking about this.

The one on the left is purple, I made the one on the right, and I threw off the colors on purpose. you're right- i was looking at the border surrounding the words "video life" it looks black on the left example on my monitor- but when i look below at the Atari Video Computer System line- there is no doubt. you silly kids and your trickery heh i would be willing to do high res scans for anyone that is in doubt though- i will guarantee this items authenticity 100%. willie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The box on the right (in Cassidy's picture) is fake. @homerwannabee: Before you get your panties in a bunch again, Cassidy is a very trustworthy friend of mine.
