+Steve Jones Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 there's noticeably more blue space above the title on the front on the gatefold, I just wanted to make sure they weren't just using a stock picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fushek Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 they said "Has a front flap like a book." I bought 2 but they seem to have lots Cool! Just bought 2 ... I'll cross my fingers. Still not a horrible deal even for a regular sealed version in a worst case scenario. Thanks for the heads up . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DZ-Jay Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I also bought two and they were just shipped. I'll let you all know what transpires... :# Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojotv67 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Cool! Just bought 2 ... I'll cross my fingers. Still not a horrible deal even for a regular sealed version in a worst case scenario. Thanks for the heads up . I held off buying one of these since it says in the description that it's the UK version... Could it be a gatefold box with slots in the back? Or it's just a regular gatefold? Whoever gets theirs first please report on what you get! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+JasonlikesINTV Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I ordered 2 Mission X (free shipping) and a CBS Carnival (not free shipping), but he was nice enough to ship all 3 games for free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_Bill Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Wow, for a loose copy (no box) that was pricey. I've seen CIB copies sell for only a bit higher not too long ago. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Mattel-Intellivision-Jetsons-Ways-Words-Game-Cartridge-w-Instru-/141092014955 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignorama Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Not cheap, but when do you get the chance to buy two boxes brown ECS? Maybe someone can make a nice offer and get them for a fair amount. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/INTELLIVISION-BULK-LOT-CHECK-IT-OUT-/380753087313?pt=AU_Consoles&hash=item58a6a70b51 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm interested in that brown ECS (as a matter of fact, I was going to ask about it in another thread). How much is a good price for that?

Ignorama Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 (edited) Its hard to say. I got my loose brown ECS nearly for free, because it was part of a lot, but boxed auctions sometimes run about 90-140€. I would say the deal is not very bad, if everything works. But I cant see two keyboards, may ask. All in all the deal is pricey and in my opinion too pricey, but may you can make a nice offer Edited October 25, 2013 by Ignorama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DZ-Jay Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Then, what would you say is a good price for that lot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignorama Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Tough question and I hope other people join to answer this one. I would say 250 is okay, if everything is complete and working. Maybe a bit more if you are really interessted, but dont forget the shipping, which makes it more pricey. I cant remember if I ever saw a brown ECS on Ebay.com, may you can get 100$ for it, because its pretty rare in the USA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+intvsteve Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I almost got this one for the brown ECS(s??) but couldn't determine how complete they are, and with shipping that's getting awfully spendy. If someone here picks this up, I may be interested in getting one of those two brown ECS units presuming completeness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant remember if I ever saw a brown ECS on Ebay.com, may you can get 100$ for it, because its pretty rare in the USA. I bought the lot. My final offer was AU$250 + shipping. The whole thing came to about USD$300.00. I really wanted a brown ECS. I corresponded with the seller and it appears that out of two, only one ECS is complete, which is why I lowered my offer. He also said that he hadn't tested the equipment, but that "it should work because it was well kept and protected." So, lets see. If anything, I'll cannibalize it for parts in case any of mine break. Also, I think I'll trade the games, since I already have them, so if anybody wants them send me a PM. Man... I gotta lay off e-Bay for a while... you people are corrupting me! -dZ.

+DZ-Jay Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 (edited) I got my order of Mission X's today, both boxes are dusty and have squished bottom flaps and impact damage... Just got mine today. They don't look too bad. I don't notice any dust, but I see that the bottom flaps are a bit squished. It looks as if they were re-shrink-wrapped after the boxes were squashed: the wrapper is too tight and conforms to the reduced surface area of the squished bottom. They may be brand new, but I don't think they are "factory sealed." I'll contact the seller too... -dZ. P.S. The gatefold box is legit, with no cut-outs in the back at all.

+JasonlikesINTV Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 It's truly rare although not worth that much money. That being said, what do you guys think it's actually worth? I'm thinking around $175-250. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmart604 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 I think around $200 is fair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
