e5frog Posted April 14, 2017 Author Share Posted April 14, 2017 Thank you!I have parts for one more, if anyone's interested, then I'd need to order more PCB:s and components, which will take a few orders and 1-2 months delivery time.So grab one now if you have thought about it.

e5frog Posted April 14, 2017 Author Share Posted April 14, 2017 Last one of the batch sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelseya Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I see someone is selling one of these on eBay (at a significant markup). I hope they didn't just buy it in order to turn around an resell. http://www.ebay.com/itm/182526073040 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e5frog Posted April 17, 2017 Author Share Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) If you bought something you're free to sell it any price you'd like. It started at $99 or something, you don't know how much people will bid. Isn't it nice to know your Pac-Man carts are worth at least double what you paid? Unfortunately I can't bid myself as seller only ships to the US and Canada. ... it's tempting to wrap one up and sell on eBay - even if eBay holds the money for ransom (for about a month) until buyer gets it and leaves feedback.

stupus Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Hey Fredric, I guess you should have put this whole last batch on ebay and listed them slowly over 6 months haha Thanks again for making more for those of us who were not smart enough to jump on the first batch!

Tombstone Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I see someone is selling one of these on eBay (at a significant markup). I hope they didn't just buy it in order to turn around an resell. http://www.ebay.com/itm/182526073040 Just for full disclosure purposes here, the one on eBay belongs to me. The auction started at $99, which was the purchase price originally. The market is responsible for the "significant markup". To alleviate your fears of original intent when purchased....I purchased multiple from Fredric to help with getting them made. There was a minimum he needed in order to order parts so I obliged and purchased 3. I still have two from that batch as well as one of his original ones. Fredric was contacted by me to let him know that I had it listed on eBay. Braces for my 11-year-old-daughter as well as a hefty tax bill from the feds and the great state of California necessitated selling some items from my collection, including a Xante cart and a CIB Foot Craz for the Atari 2600. I was going to remove Pac-Man once the Foot Craz sold but someone had already bid on it so I decided to let it go. Now someone else who really wants it can enjoy it and I'll just call it a win-win.

stupus Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Oh balls, you sold your foot craz! Didn't come for any of my searches you have a link to the listing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombstone Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Oh balls, you sold your foot craz! Didn't come for any of my searches you have a link to the listing! Sorry Mark, had I realized you might be interested I would have contacted you. Shoot. Private sale, so no eBay link. I had not planned on selling it but the Xante buyer wanted it and offered a good price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stupus Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 No worries, I can't always get everything I want lol Hope the sale got you where you need to be. I am sure you were not thrilled to part with it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e5frog Posted May 16, 2017 Author Share Posted May 16, 2017 I have one more Pac-Man cart that I might put on eBay - unless someone here is interested? It's number -22... I was also considering making a Pac-Man themed Multi-Cart that has Pac-Man box and labels and will start as Pac-Man unless you hold button 1 when resetting - then you'll land in the Multi-Cart menu and it will run as a normal Multi-Cart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Stella Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Personally, whatever someone wants to pay. Not a problem. The constant "you paid x, and you're selling it for y" debate. complete nonsense. why does it bother you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The constant "you paid x, and you're selling it for y" debate. complete nonsense. why does it bother you. Because hoarding limited items for the sole purpose of reselling at a crazy profit is douchey, sure anyone is free to do so (there are all kinds of douchey things that are perfectly legal to do) but don't expect it to come with respect from the community.

CatPix Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 You might be pleased to see that your Pac-Man got a very decent success in an expo : 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e5frog Posted June 14, 2017 Author Share Posted June 14, 2017 Nice to see, and i a Nordmende machine, need to get one of those again. It sure does fit well in with the 2000 area silver grey TV:s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatPix Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Heh, at the club we only have a few 1980's TVs, and they are all SECAM only TV, and that Nordmende is PAL, so I had to get a way more modern set for it. Glad you like none the less. Peopel were amazed to learn it was a "brand new" game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e5frog Posted April 18, 2022 Author Share Posted April 18, 2022 Instead of buying a complete brand new set from here for $120... get the one currently on eBay for $140+ (used with no instructions). Always interesting to see where they end up. I guess $140 on eBay is the same as $120 when not selling on eBay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seller will get less than $110, so in a sense they are selling it for a loss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e5frog Posted April 22, 2022 Author Share Posted April 22, 2022 @jgkspsx It sold for $203 - so, buy five, sell on eBay, make $400? Last times I sold something on eBay I got the "we will hold your money until buyer reports arrival"-treatment, so annoying. The fees are of course the worst.

+jgkspsx Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Wow, that is silly money. I have asked PriceCharting for a way to report that a game is available on a site other than Amazon and eBay, but no luck yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
