Rev Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 eBay Auction -- Item Number: 140717261581 dreadnaught factor sealed eBay Auction -- Item Number: 320855687850 90 sealed intv games 500.00!!!! When will the flow of these games end? Not just for Intellivision, but all of them! LOL, it seems like there is thousands upon thousands! And here I always thought Dreadnaught Factor on Intv was kinda rare...... Now, if they would only find a bunch of Spikers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_Bill Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 The latest round of games coming from Venezuela has been amazing. It seems that sealed games for most of the classic systems are getting dumped out there in mass. I'm not complaining. I'd really love it if some of the bigger INTY titles got dumped on the market to drive the prices down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari181 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 This is just the Beginning, In what Our resident Venezualian seller, Edintv, has said, It is a wharehouse full of games. I imagine they were all shipped there thinking the "Crash" Hadn't hit South America Yet. Well obviously it had and the stock sat for 25 years. just be wary of higher priced Seales stuff from them as they never really let anyone know how much they really have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylark68 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 (edited) Interesting. I didn't know what the story was behind all of these Venezuelan games. I immediately thought "scam." Glad that is not the case. P.S. (are these NTSC?) Edited March 26, 2012 by Skylark68 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 (edited) I wonder how big the wherehouse is. Could there still be some rare stuff way in the back? prob not... Edited March 26, 2012 by revolutionika Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylark68 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I'm interested in the Tron, D&D, and Dreadnaught Factor that are listed for sale by the Venezuelan. 60 days is a long time to wait for shipping though. Haven't pulled the trigger on it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ransom Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I bought some stuff from two of the Venezuelan sellers. Hopefully it'll all get here within the next month. I'm a little cautious about the stuff from the "liwer" seller. A lot of the stuff he puts up seems really banged up. Eightiesvault seems to have the better stuff. Or at least that's what the pictures show. I'll find out who has the better stuff when I get it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 Ransom, what stuff did you get? I Got 3 cases of INTV games. Buzz bombers, Microsurgeoon, and Lock N Chase. I got outbid on Mission X.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ransom Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Wow, a case of each! What are you planning to do with 'em? I'd considered getting the AD&D box, but never got around to it (must have been in and out of my watch list a dozen times, though...). The stuff I did buy, I bought a month ago (when the cases o' games weren't being offered). As far as Intellivision stuff, I just got the pair of controller circuits -- just in case I ever need them. I also bought several Atari 2600 games, some Atari 8-bit stuff, and a CV Expansion Module #1. Fingers crossed it'll all be in great condition when it arrives.

Eightiesvault seems to have the better stuff. Or at least that's what the pictures show. Eightiesvault is an awesome seller, I have purchased multiple times from him. If you don't mind the wait, you will always get quality stuff from him... his pictures show exactly what you will get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ransom Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Cool. That's good to know. I can't wait to get my stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 the eightiesvault guy was great to deal with...he even discounted the shipping like the auction said he would after they ended. ransom, i will probably offer them in here to fellow AA'ers.

Ransom Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I agree...the total shipping on a big load o' stuff is totally reasonable with eightiesvault. I kinda wish one of those guys drawing from the warehouse o' stuff would post a picture of the place. I'd love to see the pallets of stuff they must have. revolutionka...that's cool. That'll make a lot of people happy, I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight Synergy Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 The flood of Synapse titles have been impressive. I thought it was limited to just Blue Max/Pharaoh's Curse/Fort Apocalypse/Shamus/Drelbs for the longest time, but now previously "rare" titles are even showing up (and selling for $10-$20 each), like "Shamus Case II", "Survivor" and "Necromancer". I haven't spent crazy amounts on my little Synapse collection, but I definitely would have saved a lot had I waited until after these floodgates opened.

sqoon Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Does the shipping for these Venezuelan games really take 3-4 months? I have seen a couple auctions I am interested in, but the stated shipping times are a huge turnoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntellivisionDude Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I also purchased a couple games from Venezuela back in February. A sealed Mind Strike and sealed Beamrider. Only paid $11 shipped for the Beamrider. Hope to get them soon. But it may be another month or 2. The sellers were chevyfrank75 and liwer2006 I haven't bought from Venezuela since 2010 when i bought a few sealed games. A 6 pack of Night Stalkers, a Burgertime, a Buzz Bombers, a Lock n Chase, a Scooby Doo and a Mr. Basics. All from the same seller, buysellven who kind of disappeared. I got all my games from him within a month except the 6 pack that took a month & a half. I guess they had better mail service a couple years ago. I think the seller was receiving way too many negative comments not long after i got my games. Maybe people not receiving their games or not patient enough to wait for them. So he set his feeback on private and hasn't sold anything since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the-topdog Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 not patient enough to wait for them That is the most likely reason, but the sellers clearly state that it takes months to ship. I have never been dissapointed by any of the sellers down there, especially eightiesvault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 (edited) (Oops, sorry, didn't realize this was in the INTV subforum.... I thought it was in Classic Gaming general. My bad). Its all good. We collect for more than intellivision. Edited March 29, 2012 by revolutionika Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never been dissapointed by any of the sellers down there, especially eightiesvault. The games I bought already have tracking numbers on the auctions. Im curious how long it will take as well......i wouldnt be surprised if most of the shipping delay is when it is on american soil.......Dude, remember that package i sent you like 2 years ago from atlanta to tennessee? should of been 5 days MAX and it took like 6 weeks?

+cmart604 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Over the last couple of years I've bought a ton of games from almost all of the Venezuelan sellers, including all of the ones mentioned in this thread, and I've only had a couple of isolated issues with shipping outside of the obvious lengthy time frame. Most of the games have arrived in great shape, certainly worth it given the small amount I paid for most of them. The shipping has certainly improved from two years ago as well by the way.
