icemanxp300 Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 eBay Auction -- Item Number: 331428157433 Had a reseller offer me $250 which was declined. I'm not sure it's worth the $500 that's why I have B/O. I would be willing to offer outside ebay if interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazing Lazers Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I hope the reseller you mentioned wasn't robotkingnes, as almost all of the Odyssey stuff on Ebay is under his store at grossly inflated prices. He buys it up, and if he does end up buying your system you can be assured that it will be relisted in very short order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+stupus Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 You have a pretty nice set. looks like it is about complete aside from some playing cards and maybe 1 or 2 pieces of notice paperwork. most interesting thing is you have a test container box in pretty nice shape which is fairly uncommon...neat if it is robot king nes that made you the offer its likely that is what he is after as most people are not aware of this variant and I don't think he goes after odyssey systems to bad anymore. I see David winter left you a note on the auction...that was nice Good luck with the sale! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icemanxp300 Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) The offer was from lonewolf_callingdragonfly I assume this is a reseller based on the items that are currently for sale. please explain test container box. I will add that in my auction. edit. I looked it up it appears that is just the outer shipping box correct.

I didn't even make the connection. It is only printed on one side. Wonder how much value that adds. Probably not a whole lot but it def. makes it stand out to variant collectors. If I would have know this I would have made my 1st pic w/the box turned around lol. I was checking other auctions and none show the "test box" print. Then again they only show 1 side.

+stupus Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Hey, Ah yes timmers tippy...he is one of those great sellers...haha top notch all the way I didn't know he had switched his name and I am in no way surprised that he did after his antics. I had noticed lonewolf on ebay and had seen him starting to fit into that same douche seller model.....why bother changing your name and doing the same thing all over again Anyway, yes the test container is just a variation of the outer shipping container. There are a few different standard versions of the outer shipping containers and then there are 2 special variants of these, 1 is the test container and the other is the remanufactured. The remanufactured is units that are refurbished and then shipped back out from the factory for sale. The test container I am not 100% sure on but I believe it is demo units that have been tested and then shipped back out by the factory for sale. Just having a nice shipping container of course is nice and adds value, and of course having the tag still on it that matches the number on the unit and the production card packed inside the inner box. Having a special version of the container would be of interest most to someone who is going to collect more than 1 unit most likely and knows a bit about them. They are fairly uncommon and usually only a couple pop up a year. I know my test container isn't nearly that nice It is hard to say how much value it would add really but it is definitely worth making note of in your listing and title and pics...if nothing else it would be something for someone to pick yours over another unit maybe. hope that helps some 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariBrian Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Timmers Tippy/Lonewolf is a total A hole . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icemanxp300 Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 Sold it for $350 plus $16 shipping. Figured that was fair. I spent almost $21 to ship though w/insurance and signature confirmation. Still happy w/the sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
