It's just a console that never went out. Most likely a later model, considering the ADAM controllers being paired with it. Then again, who knows..I didn't see a pic of the bottom serial number either. I highly doubt it's anything special, other than that 'blank Coleco' shipping box.

NIAD Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 How exactly is this a "Prototype?" http://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-Prototype-NEW-ColecoVision-System-Console-w-Controllers-Paperwork-UNUSED-/151996451110 I'll second that... It's not. At the end when Coleco was dumping stock to whomever would buy it, they mixed and matched what was left in inventory to make complete systems (beige ADAM hand controllers, ADAM labeled RF box, etc.) and packaged them in generic corrugated shipping boxes. Eventually they even ran out of the two styrofoam trays and just packaged the CV in a smaller corrugated box. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+stupus Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Yep, when we purchased my childhood colecovision it came with the tan controllers. But it was in the standard graphic box. I remember being very pissed I didn't get the black controllers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLic0ne t0aD Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 I personally love the ADAM controllers, I've got a pair that Yurkie did for me.. Straightened cords and especially the black ball tops look sweet, plays even better. Although I'd probably be a little upset if I got a CV with those when I was kid, I can relate though. Luckily mine had black controllers when I was a kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValkerieSilk Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Just on the off chance anyone is considering this, I asked for more info and pics and as usual, it's not NIB and visually it appears heavily used and is missing many pieces. I recommended to the seller that they change the description. eBay Auction -- Item Number: 182038405838 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No instructions? No box? No wonder. And this is from a seller who has been quibbling with me about the total shipped cost of the Flipper Slipper I have on eBay (US$22). There seems to be a disconnect in his understanding of the real world value of these games and so I have suggested he join AtariAge so that he can get input from the AA community (plus I'm sure phattyboombatty would love to know more about this R9 Super Action Soccer label ! ! ! ! !)

You're not the only one on eBay with whom this person has peppered with pleas to adjust prices for any number of absurd reasons, claiming disbelief that they could possibly cost what is asked, while listing items of his/her own with astronomical numbers attached. I don't believe the disconnect to be anything other than feigned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But 9oz. from USA to Canada cost me $15.50 and the is First Class International with Paypal shipping discount. International from USA to Canada has reached a point where a Canadian customer would REALLY have to want something to pay the ridiculous shipping costs.

International from USA to Canada has reached a point where a Canadian customer would REALLY have to want something to pay the ridiculous shipping costs. Id love to pay only 15.50 for a shipment from the US. Its like if I want to buy anything anymore on Ebay I have to beg the seller to send 1st class because they all want to use Priority Post or even worse the dreaded Global Shipping Program and its not uncommon to get a quote of $40 to $100 dollars to send a game from US to me in Canada. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValkerieSilk Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 If NASA would stop spending money on space exploration and start putting it into useful things like transporters, we wouldn't have these shipping costs to deal with! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
