Porte048 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Hi all, I really want this sears console, but every time they pop up on eBay they seem to be snatched up. Anyone here know of any for sale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharonPDX Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 You have to bid on them to win them. I just won one off eBay bidding the minimum bid. If you had bid even $1 over minimum, you would have gotten it instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying since you said they get snatched up. I just got one for minimum bid, there's another with a higher-than-I'm-willing-to-pay, but not outrageous buy-it-now with 8 games.

+wongojack Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I've got one that I would be willing to sell. PM me and we can talk it through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until you linked that I couldnt even find one. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharonPDX Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Honestly I think my search query has been bad this whole time. Until you linked that I couldnt even find one. Thanks I learned I had to avoid using "Sears" - since the unit itself doesn't say Sears on the front, you often get listing that don't say Sears. "Tele-Games Super Video Arcade" is my go-to. Sometimes just "Super Video Arcade" - but that turns up a lot of the just-plain-non-super "Video Arcade" Atari 2600 variant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+wongojack Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 The thread starter contacted me, but hasn't followed up, so I thought I'd share what I've got and see if anyone was interested. It's not perfect, but it works fine. Occasionally I have to adjust the video cable in the RF jack to get a clear picture, but it clears right up. I didn't open the controllers, but I have opened other Sears controllers and they are easy to get open and clean. Of course the Sears model makes it easy to replace the controllers. I don't know what I want for it. I wasn't really looking to sell, but since I got it out and cleaned the games, I thought I'd share and see if anyone was looking. I actually think I talked about selling this to Mr INTV a few years ago, but flaked out on him (sorry). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 I'd recommend multiple searches for the following terms: Intellivision Sears Sears Super Video Arcade Super Video Arcade Sears Telegames (or Tele-games) Get creative with the search terms and be vigilant and patient. I've seen plenty of boxed Sears consoles sell for under $100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+wongojack Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Just FYI that Porte048 is not in the market for my Super Video Arcade currently, so it is available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
