daniel3302 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I have a bunch of Intellivision Basic Keyboard Cassettes that I plan to put on ebay, but I was looking for some guidance as to how to price them - as I can find no references to go by. I have Family Budgeting Conversational French Crosswords I Crosswords 3 Jack LaLanne's Physical Conditioning Basic Data Storage Cassettes The last 3 listed are still sealed in the original wrapping, the first three are complete in the original box, but unwrapped. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humblejack Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I'll start off with a $6 bid. These are great. Cmart will most likely be the guy to help price them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Lathe26 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 These items will likely go high, but how high is unknown. They rarely show up on eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daniel3302 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I can't figure out how to directly post the photos, so I am putting them in a gallery album "Keyboard Cassettes" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, very cool ... those are very rare and difficult to price, especially the still sealed ones as I don't remember ever seeing any. I would highly recommend listing as auctions on eBay and letting the market decide the price. I'm pretty certain that you will not be disappointed. If you're looking to sell outside of eBay, I'm certain that there are a few people (I see Cmart has already sniffed them out) here more than willing to make you solid offers. Do you mind if we ask how you got them? Are they originally yours or are they a stellar find? Edited March 30, 2017 by Fushek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mind if we ask how you got them? Are they originally yours or are they a stellar find? I agree, about letting the market dictate the price but the only problem I have is epay errr... ebay. By the time you pay both ebay and paypal (the same company) the fees are enormous. I quit selling there. The last time I sold (2 yrs ago) I sold items over $1000 and the fees ended up being %12.5. Perhaps they have changed you may want to check it out to see how much you will loose with listing fees and such. Not being negative just think you should check it out first. Thanks for the pics. Now I need to consider selling my first born, right leg, kidney, lots of body parts come to mind, perhaps the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humblejack Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Also, beings you were there at the end, I think it would be great if you started a thread and told about being there. The whats, whys, whos and wheres of Mattel. Even if its a diary format. Dates and events. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel3302 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I have finished uploading all the photos to my gallery album. Included and not previously mentioned is the Keyboard Basic, but as you can see from the photos, the box is pretty beat up. Also, I only have the manual and the cassette - the Basic cart is missing. And one more thing, I also will be listing the Blue Whale that goes with all this stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intymike Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 By the time you pay both ebay and paypal (the same company) Ebay and PayPal have split in 2015. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel3302 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 As far as ebay and paypal fees go, whether one considers 13% to be exorbitant is I guess relative. I think of it as just the price to be paid for exposure to a wide audience, convenience, and a certain level of security. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think of it as just the price to be paid for exposure to a wide audience, convenience, and a certain level of security. Agreed. The global exposure that your item gets on eBay, especially on rarer items, usually will result in a higher price that more than covers the 12% or so ... your mileage may vary. And I'll second the motion requesting (begging?) for you to take the time to describe your experience there. I know that the entire community would be fascinated to hear about anything that you can remember about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humblejack Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Ebay and PayPal have split in 2015. I stand corrected, 2015 was about the last time I sold on ebay. Thanks for the clearing that up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel3302 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Do you have the basic cartridge? Does the tape drive work? Daniel Bass? Nope, no Basic cartridge - when I found the box in the basement it had the manual and the cassette - but no cartridge Nope, the tape drive does not work. When I plugged it all in, I was at first delighted to see that it actually gave me a title screen, and the keys worked. Then in researching, I found out about the tape drive problems, so I thought I would try it to find out. So, I hit E and the drive popped open, I popped in a random tape - and hit T. A lot of whirring - but no tape movement. OK, so E right? Well, "Rewinding..." pops up on the screen, there's a bunch more whirring, but the tapes not moving. Seems that without being able to rewind to the beginning the drive won't open and so now that tape is stuck. And who is me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I don't know if anyone has a working tape drive anymore. http://www.digitpress.com/library/interviews/interview_daniel_bass.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SoulBuster Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Sounds to me like that tape drive just needs the belts replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel3302 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 It may well be that it just needs the belt replaced, but not by me.
