Sinjinhawke Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Didn’t need this but picked it up because I have not seen a sleeved version of a game before. Maybe it’s just so long in the past that I forget these may have been common. Was only $2 CDN so grabbed it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmart604 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Awesome pickup! You are going to make a very good return on your $2 investment whether it's on eBay or here. ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 That's pretty tough to find and definitely worth the price. Collectors may want that for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinjinhawke Posted August 25, 2019 Author Share Posted August 25, 2019 Thanks for the info. I didn’t buy it with the intent to sell, just thought it was an interesting box. However I may be convinced to part with it so I can buy a game I don’t have. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+intellivotion Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 You bet C$ 2 on Roulette and you'll very probably win I already have the Roulette sleeve, but I'm curious to know which is the box variation you found with it. AFAIK, it should be made in Hong Kong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I didn’t already have it I’d make you an offer you couldn’t refuse. ? it should be great trade bait as I’m sure there are a few people on here who would love to add it to their collection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I suppose you could send me your wiishlist ? I've been known to have some spares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 (edited) Where exactly did you find this (in Toronto I sssume)? A garage sale? I think I mentioned this elsewhere but I don't think these sleeves were used outside of Quebec and New Brunswick. If anyone remembers them elsewhere, back in 1980, please advise.

Sinjinhawke Posted August 25, 2019 Author Share Posted August 25, 2019 A store in Belleville. I asked if they had any Intellivision games. They said in the basement they had some. Brought them up and was just a bunch of commons plus this item. Just said take what I want for $2 each. Bowling and Lock & Chase had boxes boxes better than what I have so grabbed them. Otherwise my untrained eye didn’t see anything special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contains the glossy English manual and the non glossy French manual. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Does the box have the keyboard component text? What are the part numbers on the two instructions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not home right now to confirm what the box says. I have the picture of the manuals included here. Memory says the box does NOT reference keyboard but I’m old and my memory is not to be relied on. ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Yup, the g1 box revision had the keyboard component text removed. I'm thinking the full canadian bilingual boxes and instructions didn't happen until 1982. We had a mix of bilingual and regular boxes all bought after 1981.

+the1hatman Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 The French Canadian Math Fun sleeved copy I have is the same except it does contain the Keyboard Component text at the bottom of the main box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinjinhawke Posted August 26, 2019 Author Share Posted August 26, 2019 French manual was definitely printed in Canada. I’ve had an offer to trade for Truckin’ but not sure if that is a good trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humblejack Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 The best way to know how much it's worth is, is to throw it up on ebay for 1 penny and let the market dictate the value. It sounds rough for some AA members to hear but that just the way it is. As the seller you get almost the full value of the product and as the buyer you didn't pay more than you wanted to.

If a game goes for $400 on eBay, the seller sees about $330, maybe less. I think eBay makes offers sometimes where there are no seller fees, though. Not sure how it works, though.

Sinjinhawke Posted August 27, 2019 Author Share Posted August 27, 2019 Thanks for the eBay info. I wasn’t aware the eBay take was so high. I have received some very generous offers from AA members and FB Marketplace so I should be able to avoid that route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What?? eBay gets 10% of the selling price and PayPal gets 2.9% + $.30. So in your $400 example with a regular listing (not paying extra for stuff like insertion fees of which the first 50 listings a month are free/$.35 after that, bold, multiple categories, etc.) you'd be left with $348.10 after fees.

If he's in Canada and sold to the US, PayPal charges 3.7% plus 0.30 USD. Also, the 10% eBay fee includes the sale price + shipping. Still less than 22%, though.

I have not used ebay for a month or so but last time I used it ebay was 11% and paypal was 4.5% which is why I stated you get almost full value but you are right it needs to be taken into consideration.
