SiLic0ne t0aD Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) There's a beautiful boxed Colecovision on eBay right now, only 2 hours left at $67.55 If this system doesn't do over 100 dollars I'll be shocked, that's a steal. I'm really tempted to bid myself although I own a nice CIB system. Well anyways, Here's the link! : http://www.ebay.com/itm/201017304463?redirect=mobile Edited January 19, 2014 by SiLic0ne t0aD85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLic0ne t0aD Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) Outbid by a dollar! Sold for $81.56! Sun-Ov-a #+$@*! What a deal on a CIB unit!!! Oh well, there's always next time. I hope someone here nabbed it haha There's a beautiful boxed Colecovision on eBay right now, only 2 hours left at $67.55 If this system doesn't do over 100 dollars I'll be shocked, that's a steal.

I hope someone here nabbed it haha you weren't necessarily outbid by a dollar he could have had his dollar amount set above 100 and it only has to bid a dollar above your high level to beat you. So don't beat yourself up too much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope someone here nabbed it haha I have seen numerous better condition systems and boxes sell for sometimes less and sometimes more. Just be patient, it will come and if you want to get the best possible deal, wait until the late spring and summer months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLic0ne t0aD Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) Yeah true. I thought I saw something about auto bidding. The spring cleaning is always a good time to get stuff. Anyways I'm not worried about it, I have a nice CIB system, a lot nicer than that one, I just thought it was a good deal. IIRC, I paid about $80 for mine over 12 years ago. I need to watch my spending right now so I'm kind of glad I didn't win. I'm selling off some stuff at the moment, everything Except for ColecoVision (- a spare power supply) and NES..

SiLic0ne t0aD Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) Thanks for the advice guys, that's what I'm doing. Some time this year I hope to get a nice CIB Roller Controller and also CIB Expansion Module 2 driving controller complete to go with the rest of my CIB hardware. Cheers - Todd Definately wait it out... Another will come around... Edited January 19, 2014 by SiLic0ne t0aD85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+nanochess Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 The Activision prototype is well worth the 20 euros. It looks kind of weird that the Q*bert Qubes is in an Activision case... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya I agree with you I don't think most of the case go with the games, they where most likely added at a later time, which also makes most of the labels not original either. There is just 2 of those carts that peek my interest . Interesting auction though thanks for sharing.

I would have to agree that TeleGames UK made these carts seeing as they liked to use the Activision cart shell/pcb. The value in this lot resides in the three unreleased prototype games (MASH, Yolks on You and Fall Guy) although not much because they are easy enough to get via other avenues, TeleGames Skiing and the BeamRider loaner cart. Well, honestly, there is only once cart that is worth anything in this lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiLic0ne t0aD Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Yea I'd like to bid on this just for the unreleased games I been after for years, like Fall Guy and all the others. I've been wanting those for years. They would also go good with my Escape from the Mindmaster cart I got recently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiLic0ne t0aD Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Holy cow, $304.93 dollars for all those weird games. I was bidding but gave up before that mark.. Hopefully there legit copies and not counterfeits. It's coming from overseas so who knows.. The eprom sampler cart in particular looks very interesting, definitely a nice proto. Everything was just too rich for my blood right now. :-( http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?ff3=4&pub=5574883395&toolid=10001&campid=5336500554&customid=&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2F301073065865%3FssPageName%3DSTRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT%26_trksid%3Dp3984.m1423.l2648 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well at least we will know if it is real or not since he has something to compare it to. He owes me for not bidding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 (edited) I actually talked myself into not bidding on it as soon as the auction was listed because I just didn't think it was legit due to everything I heard over the years was that Bit Corp never officially released the game under their label as well as Strike It. The other concern was the only Bit Corp. ad I have seen shows the Tank Wars box being a dark blue and this box is green in color. So I was thinking a very good repro at best that was made well before any other repros of Bit Corp games were made by Retro. The morning of the auction, I just couldn't bear the chance that this was a legit copy so I placed a very sizeable max bid. I think what changed my mind was that all the know legit CIBs of Bit Corp. games have come in a green colored box (with the exception of one Cosmic Crisis that came in a white clamshell) and figured that Bit must have switched to one main box color in a cost savings decision. The cart shell is definetly the one Bit used and then later TeleGames continued using, the manual being beige is a concern seeing as other Bit manuals use a white background. I'll be able to compare the cardstock quality of the box with the Cosmic Crisis box that I have, so that jury is still out until the game arrives. Dan... I don't think you would have bid more than the max I put down, but I do realize that I saved A LOT of money by you not going after it as well.
