Atari2008 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 (edited) Up for sale is my modest Colecovision collection which includes the following: Colecovision System. It's in full working condition with two controllers, original RF cable, heavily shielded coaxial cable (excellent image quality), adapter to connect the coaxial cable to the Colecovision, and US power supply. The one issue I experienced when I bought it were alternating wavy lines on my LCD TV. You may have better luck on a tube TV. However I was able to get around it by using a heavily shielded coaxial cable and a gold-plated adapter to connect it to the Colecovision. Perfect image! You'll get the coaxial cable and the adapter as well. Also, I noticed if you do press on the area of the Colecovision where the RCA cable connects it does mess up the image on the TV, but as long as you leave it alone, it works great. No issues with the power supply whatsoever, no garbled graphics. The Colecovision label on the bottom of the console is peeling off. Other than that it looks great cosmetically. One controller works great, the other seems to have a slight delay in responding when you try turning left, it might need cleaning. However it is usable. Loose games: Frogger (label in okay condition, slightly dirty, also has sticker from the store on the back), Smurf: Rescue in Gargamel's Castle (label is beginning to wear out at edges, also has a sticker from the store on the back), Popeye (sticker is a little dirty and starting to come off on the edge, also has a sticker from the store on the front). All games are in full working condition. Homebrew game: Girl's Garden! The cart is in excellent condition as is the instruction manual. Box is in great condition except the flap on the top inside has a few creases from opening and closing the box. I believe this game is now sold out. I'm asking for $85 for everything above plus shipping. I accept PayPal. PM me if you're interested (and if you'd like a shipping quote).

ColecoDan Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Just an FYI the colecovision itself is probably going to cost you more than $15 bucks to ship so you might want to check that out and adjust for yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari2008 Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 Thank you Dan! I really wasn't sure how much shipping would cost. Does $25 sound more accurate? I appreciate your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Shipping cost all depends on where the prospective purchaser lives. You should be able to send this out via USPS Parcel Post for no more than $15 with Delivery Confirmation and Insurance... shipping to the West Coast will be a little more. The best thing to do is DON'T set a cost for shipping. You should package it all up so that you can provide the size and weight of the box as well as your zip code in this sales thread. Then anyone interested can check on USPS' website to see what shipping will cost. From there, add the shipping costs to the purchased items cost for a final price and everyone is happy.

Atari2008 Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 Good point! Thank you! I've removed the shipping amount for the listing, and have asked that people who are interested PM me and I can get a quote then. Hopefully someone will be interested. Great system, I just hardly play it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
