+cmart604 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Wow! How the heck did you find that? There are a number of items in there that are worth the price you paid on their own, including that French DK. Nice pickup!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scalpel Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Scalpel, that's one heck if a deal! Nice find!!! Indeed ! Thanks @ Scalpel We may find a deal for Scooby? I have one already, but the box is very worn. Could be possible. I think I have 3 now. Let me know what are you looking for exactly 'cause I think I have one or 2 other games you need. Nice catalogs in there too! If you need one, let me know. Wow! How the heck did you find that? There are a number of items in there that are worth the price you paid on their own, including that French DK. Nice pickup!!! I agree. It's a very nice pick-up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scalpel Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 A nice sunday morning pick up ! ^^ For the story, I didn't pay anything 'cause I bought a Colecovision unit (sorry Voltron, I don't know what's happened to me ^^) there are 2 months ago and he doesn't work very well and the seller decided to offer me 2 CV carts... when I arrived, she decides to offer me a big box with all these things ! Happy to be in Paris (again !) lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to be in Paris (again !) lol I see a Mattel handheld there, so if your goal was the handheld and that contraband just happen to be there, then you are forgiving. just make sure you dispose of the contraband properly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BBWW Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Thought this was a reasonable Ebay pickup of complete Tutankhan. For around $150 or so with shipping. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Jeu-TUTANKHAM-de-PARKER-pour-Mattel-Intellivision-de-1982-/181253602630?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT&nma=true&si=%252BvJDD4RsiifXtaUpywAo97wZ9yg%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+JasonlikesINTV Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 I finally managed to accomplish my 2013 Inty goal: got a boxed Worm Whomper for $80! yay!!! I saw that. When you receive it, I'm curious...does it have sun fading? I couldn't tell from the pics. Also, sweet date on the back. Vintage character. Worm Whomper is possibly my favorite game! You made the right decision 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You made the right decision yes, I guess the date written on the back stopped anyone else to bid... anyway Dec. 2nd is my mom b'day, so that's fine with me!

Sweet! It should still display nicely. Nice price too....these have been going for $100+ lately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjarnold7 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I bought a "like new" Chip Shot to upgrade my current copy...the pics looked good and the seller accepted my offer of $40 (which I think was about right for condition). Received yesterday in a Priority Mail Flat Rate Envelope! Should have seen my face! I opened the envelope to see it was in a tight, flimsy box, so I got hopeful....but alas, one side was smashed (heavily creased). I told the seller he shouldn't send in envelopes, always use a box. He said he's never had a problem.....I decided to accept his offer of a $10 refund (I thought I was being generous). It will display nicely after pushing the side back (crease still there), but man, it really could have been a great copy. I wonder how many near mint games are being ruined this way? Okay, done with my rant..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, done with my rant..... I tried that once. Ordered 3 pretty mint games (Chip Shot, Thin Ice, Super Pro Football). Chip shot was the upgrade. The seller packed it into too large of a box and the box was used and flimsy. This is what I came home to (on my front porch): Here are the games before delivery (pic taken from the auction): And...here are the games unpacked from the box: The seller apologized and refunded me $20.

mjarnold7 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Ugh! I have it down as far as packing.....wrap the game a little in bubble wrap (not too tight), put a small wad of newspaper on the bottom of the box, put the game on top of that, then put a wad of paper on the top and sides as needed (loosely). That way, if the box gets smashed a little, the game "floats".....never had a problem. I think some people pack too tightly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seller packed it into too large of a box and the box was used and flimsy. This is what I came home to (on my front porch): Somewhat similar story for me. I ordered a euro Zaxxon from Italy but it was packed in only a bubble envelope. When it arrived, it was completely flattened. It looked like someone took a rolling pin to form fit the game's box around the cartridge. That's why I ship my sold items similar to how mjarold7 does (though I don't use as much newspaper).

I should add that I was partially to blame in the Zaxxon incident of 2013. When the seller asked whether I wanted shipping costs of $7.50 for bubble envelope or $46 for box, I chose the cheaper option. Oh well, lesson learned.

mojotv67 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Why would a box cost $46? Was he shipping it from outer space? The prices that are quoted from overseas sellers for individual games are all over the place... I've had some games shipped in a box for less than 10 Euros and yet some others want to charge 25 - 30 Euros! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignorama Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) It depends from which country. From Germany we can send a shoe box sized box with an 100€ insurance for about 10 Dollars worldwirde, I guess british sellers cant offer such a cheap shipping. The funny thing: We can not even send that cheap from a german to another german adress, because it counts as a letter (yep, a shoe box letter), and in Germany the size would be too huge to be a letter. But seriously, the US prices for worldwirde shipping are also not what I call cheap. Shoe Box size with insurance from USA to Germany costs 35-40 Dollars, sick.

+Lathe26 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 In this case, it was being shipped via DHL from Italy to the USA. Since then, I've had other items from Italy shipped in small boxes that didn't cost that much (learned my lesson). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
