Zwackery Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I guess IMAGIC decided to save money by using clamshell box Not only that, but the C64 version is in the exact same box, just with a red sticker over the spine, so if you peel it off, you will see "Cartridge for Colecovision/Adam". Atari_Bill, you got a really good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly That's what I mean to say, they were using Clamshell boxes and so they only had to switch the printed cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari_Bill Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Arrived today and You got an incredible deal and everything I see from the pics is 100% legit. Arrived today and I don't think it's even been used before. Absolutely mint as can be! The only thing missing is the plastic wrap that would make it NIB. Pretty excited! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIAD Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Arrived today and Congrats. As far as shrinkwrap, I do not think that it was shrinkwrapped. Actually, I never saw it available for purchase in stores in my area and recall that a Texas outfit (not TeleGames, eColeco, etc.) sold them thru mail-order for a while and this is how I learned of and acquired the game back in 1985.

I have purchased both a NIB C64 version and a NIB CV version (CV on 07 March 2010) and IIRC both came shrinkwrapped. Judging by the feel of the shrink - and the newness of the box, cart, and manual - I do not think they were more modern reshrinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I own almost all of them, several of which were purchased NIB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIAD Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 At least the second time that SGM has been put up on eBay for $400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLic0ne t0aD Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 You beat me to it Jim, I was gonna mention that. That seems like the "standard" price on those, I just wish OpCode would release the next batch to curb the prices on those and prevent people from cashing in like that. Oh well.. At least the second time that SGM has been put up on eBay for $400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 (edited) Oh, but a SGM did recently sell that included four SGM games (Zaxxon, Thexder, King's Valley and Dragon's Lair) as a BIN for $1000!!! eBay Auction -- Item Number: 321301424634 Hmmm, the listing does not automatically come up, but a link is provided.

Its what happens when demand is threw the roof and nobody is giving out the supply with the few exceptions of people putting them up on Ebay. Plus the longer Eduardo is gone the more it will drive up the price. It's crazy though because when he comes back (hopefully) then the price will drop all the way back down to normal! Unless he doesn't come back where those SGM's that are out there may be one of the most sought after Coleco items ever made. My money is on that he will return.

SiLic0ne t0aD Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 He'd be a fool if he didn't return, there's a lot of people still rooting for him (myself included) and to go and blow his reputation like that would be a shame, not to mention the legal action that may ensue if SGMs aren't shipped or refunded soon. I'm sure he'll bounce back.. We'll see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
san-d-2000 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I put up another Colecovision with internal power supply and composite video out: 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%2F171234826708 I'm pulling the sound signal from inside the RF modulator now, so it should support the 2600 expansion module, but I don't have one to test it with. is that internal power supply save?
