HFK Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 You would think with a $999 opening he would have more then one picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroovyBee Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Not good when the seller says "I tried to fire it up to take screen shots of the games, but couldn't get it to work consistently". Games look dull too . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximebeauvais Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 too much $$$ for me. like you said, not a lot of picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Not good when the seller says "I tried to fire it up to take screen shots of the games, but couldn't get it to work consistently". Games look dull too . It's a common problem with the keyboard units (or so I hear). They were very problematic. I'd love something like this, but I just couldn't justify spending $1000+ on something that would sit on a shelf and collect dust (well not with the dust cover I guess). I'm sure some serious Intellivision collector will make off with this and be happy. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hhwolfman Posted July 13, 2009 Author Share Posted July 13, 2009 Man I want that real bad. I think a bud of mine could fix it. Just to poor. Oh well, another will pop up. They always do. HHW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 I'd love to see some of these 'games' in action. You never see screenshots other than that youtube clip of the demo cart. I wonder if an emulator is possible... Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classics Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 How many of these are around? I remember years ago Jerry G having the only one I knew of, but I haven't been following Intellivision much. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve 4,000 were made, but most were returned. I'd guess under 50. I personally know of 6 in various collectors hands. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y-bot Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 So who wins this item? The high bidder on CTCW or Ebay? I don't get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I'd love to see the Basic emulated. This Basic and Atari 7800 Basic are on my wish-list to be able to play around with. Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they should sell it here for a fixed price. Putting it on Ebay with no intention of letting the auction run it's course is super lame.

video game addict Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I emailed the seller, but have yet to hear from him. Does anybody know him and can vouch for his credibility? I don't know him, but did notice his CTCW account name is listed in his feedback profile in the past so I would guess he's a shill bidder just from that. With ebay's hidden bidder system, you might still be bidding against a shill right now. The fact he's now got this running on 2 different auction sites doesn't look good either. On the plus side, if you pay with paypal, he shouldn't receive any money until the item has shipped and there's tracking info. Since his account has so few sells of late. That's a new precaution ebay/paypal takes to prevent fraud. They can hold funds up to 21 days, but I believe they will often let them go once a valid tracking number has been submitted. Whether you get an empty box in the mail or this setup, still you might not know. Really awesome setup too! Of the 6 or so that's known to exist, how many have all the tapes? Or are the tapes more common? I've seen the component before, but don't recall all the tapes that work with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numan Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 How can you sell the same item on two different sites? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
video game addict Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I could only assume he's letting the ebay auction get full exposure before ending early and redirecting to the CTCW site. To save some money on auction fees? It doesn't hurt to have 2 running simultaneously as long as he closes one before it's all over. If he lets them both run to close he's gonna have some explaining to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y-bot Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Check out what the high bidder had as his max bid before canceling and re-bidding for some reason: http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=110412980470 I'm the other bidder but I know there is no way that is selling for less than $3000. y-bot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
