robbievgb Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Local seller has a Colecovision with 4 games for $40. Games are river raid, ladybug, zaxxon, and donkey Kong Jr. Only catch is it only comes with one controller and no power supply. I already have a good pair of colecovision controllers (another story) but I'm not sure about the power supply. Is this a good deal even with the missing power supply? How much does a colecovision power supply go for these days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumbai Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Local seller has a Colecovision with 4 games for $40.

I already have a good pair of colecovision controllers (another story) but I'm not sure about the power supply. Is this a good deal even with the missing power supply? How much does a colecovision power supply go for these days? Is there any promise that the console and/or the controller even works? I'd guess not if there's no power supply included ... ? I assume the games are cartridge only? If so, those four games are maybe worth $10-$15 alone if unsullied and you don't want to spend the time to track them down later. In my view, it comes down to whether it's worth $25-$30 for the console and the controller alone in whatever working state you know they're in. Or more than that figure, if the carts are junked up. ColecoVision power supplies, I think, generally begin at $20-$30 (shipping included - they are not light) most of the time on eBay, and quite a few of those on the lower end of that range are untested themselves. Hope that helps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbievgb Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 This does help. I'm going to try and talk the guy down to $30. He claims it works just misplaced the power cord. The RF cable has a coax adapter, which I would assume means it's been played recently. Like I said I already have a pair of excellent condition colecovision Controllers I acquired through another purchase with a few other things, so I'd only have to buy the power cord.

OldSchoolRetroGamer Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 No way you could misplace that power supply, it's friggin MASSIVE lol. Betting it does not work or has a serious issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
