Rey Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) It's always nice to see one of these pop up on ebay. The untested comments make me cringe but one thing I don't have is the original box to this.

If the disk drive was tested and verified to be in working condition, then it would be a very good price. I cringe to think that someone will take the dive and spend over $200 for solely a collectible item and they will still have to track down a working disk drive (hint, hint: ADAMcon has them available on his website @ http://ann.hollowdreams.com) if they want to put it to use and not just add it to their collection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikrananka Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Anyone purchase one of these Modern Power Supplies for the CV yet? eBay Auction -- Item Number: 251594870118 I mentioned this item a while ago as it does look to be an attractive option, just a little expensive. What I'm curious about is how the seller has managed to obtain the proprietary connectors that will fit into the CV console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ten-four Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I've known about it for a while, and among other things mentioned it in ColecoVision News Section on 6 January, February 26, March 10, March 22. and lately June 4. https://www.facebook.com/pages/retro-moddingde/1472842296262882 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think he needs to improve his websites and links. It took me a while to realise that his main webpage is actually http://www.konsolen-mod.de (which is where http://www.0711spiele.de routes you to). The website http://retro-modding.de just takes you to his Facebook page. An oddity is that his eBay auctions for the power supply are only setup to ship to Germany or the UK, despite advertising the product as being internationally universal. If he were to change it to Worldwide shipping he might get more sales. What about his other mods for video/audio, pause etc.? These aren't even listed on eBay or Amazon but his main website lists them as products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manoau2002 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 For those interested I have put a listing for the Gamester81 game for the Colecovision in the marketplace. I would prefer to trade.. The listing link is http://atariage.com/forums/topic/228050-gamester81-the-video-game/ I know there are lots of people that read these forums that don't watch the marketplace on a regular basis.

AtariBuff Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 To be more precise as he doesn't mention that it's one of 5 prototype copies from OpCode: copy of prototype with homemade label and box insert 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sega_SHARK Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Wish I would have known about the fundraising protos at the time. I've been playing through a lot of SG-1000 stuff on an emulator, and Exerion is a solid shooter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not the soon to be released CollectorVision version that is a port of the much better MSX version. The three games this seller just posted on eBay (Killer Instinct, Galaga and Exerion) are brand new carts that I suppose the seller made himself via rom dumps he has of these respective games. The Galaga cart is the SG-1000 version that Opcode ported a number of years ago and made only 5 prototype carts that he auctioned off on eBay. It is not the actual Opcode prototype cart as it would be ridiculously stupid to remove the Opcode label in order to place a much nicer label on the cart as you would take an item that sold for around $500 and turn it into something that should only sell for around $40-$50. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sega_SHARK Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 This person should put the word "reproduction" somewhere, otherwise is deceiving people. If it smells or looks weird, just ask about it on AtariAge. A forum search of "opcode and proto" brought up that Exerion reproductions have been up on ebay before. I've seen a lot of reproduction CV "rare carts" on ebay, I've just never seen any of the opcode proto games listed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chart45 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 not unless they changed the label the same guy sold the 1/5 proto on ebay so he dump the proto cart sell it and now selling the repro for 200$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
