Lord-Chaos Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Sorry, wife is for life.. lol Ah well, there other way to get games cept Ebay.. Daniel I have 25 different ATARI XEGS/XL carts , all boxed and new, but I'm in Germany and overseas shipping is expensive and slow. The carts are Ace of Aces,Archon,Airball,Ballblazer,Blue Max, Crime Buster (Lightgun), Crossbow (Lightgun),David's Midnight Magic, Desert Falcon, Eastern Front, Final Legacy, Gato,Hardball,Joust,Lode Runner, Millipede, Moon Patrol, One on One, Pole Position,RealSports Football, Rescue on Fractalus, Robotron 2084,Star Raiders 2, Tennis, Thunderfox and maybe Battlezone. Most of the carts are XEGS carts in blue boxes, they will work on 48K machines only, some, like Airball require 64K of RAM. Thimo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJ Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Lord-Chaos, if you took a hit for shipping I bet you'd sell a lot more of those carts. I saw your past eBay auctions but shipping cost scared me away. I see at least 5 carts on your list I'd buy if you reduced shipping costs...

Lord-Chaos Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Lord-Chaos, if you took a hit for shipping I bet you'd sell a lot more of those carts. I saw your past eBay auctions but shipping cost scared me away. I see at least 5 carts on your list I'd buy if you reduced shipping costs... The problem is that there is no way to reduce the shipping from Germany, the German Post (DHL) is the cheapest way, but still expensive and the Euro is now so much higher than the Dollar. Shipping one game is 8.05 Euro , 2-3 9.05 Euro etc. (2.05 Euro are for insurance) and 1 Euro = ca. $1.21 now (was only $1.10 last year, and less than $1 2 years ago).And that's surface mail, air mail is MUCH more expensive.And the small surface mail packages can take 6-8 weeks to arrive. UPS, GLS, FedEx etc. are much more expensive. That's the problem, there is absolutely no way of cheap overseas shipping. The only possibility is to ship a large package to the US and ship single games from inside the USA, because one large package with up to 150 games is only 59 Euro , means only 0.40 Euro shipping per game and it takes only 3 weeks to arrive , as surface mail. It's also possible to send up to 40 games in a package for 29 Euro, also quite fast. So if several buyers would combine orders, it would be possible to save money. But the smaller packages are far too expensive and slow.You can check the prices at www.deutschepost.de (switch to English if you cannot read German).

RJ Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 You should look into having a retailer (Video 61, Telegames, etc) doing that, then we can get the games from you through them, & give them a cut for their services... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrandviewCoin Posted June 19, 2004 Author Share Posted June 19, 2004 that leads to my next question? What country incompatabilities exist? Pal/NTSC formats? Any at all? Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robcatron Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 One of the best places to start collecting some of the rarer (and even some not so rare) carts are B&C Computervisions and Collectorcardsandgames.com I picked up many of my starter carts there, and B&C even still has some nice carts like Mr. Cool, Ozzy's Orchard, etc. good luck!

Avram Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 As far as I know, there shouldn't be any compatibility problems - I asked that question on this forum last year and was told that they should be fine. I've also sold carts and cassettes to people in France, America and Canada and no-one's had any problems (at least, I assume no-one has). So they should work fine. Though I may be wrong. avram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
