Trade-N-Games Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Good and bad I guess. Over the last year he has out bid me on over 12 auctions only to sell it now. I would love to buy the boxed coleco lot but his price borders crazy. I think he got a big chunck of that at one time around the time that big 2600 boxed lot was sold to 2600.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Psionic Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share Posted August 21, 2007 I know...he outbid me on a few things as well. Gotta love these speed collectors who try to go for everything in a year or so and then end up dumping it all. Several of the games are sealed and his system and expansion modules look unused, which means he probably doesn't play his games at all either. And yeah, the price is crazy. I don't know if anybody's going to bite at that. There's only a few games he has that I need...if he broke it up, I'd be a lot more interested.

+Psionic Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share Posted August 21, 2007 Zwackery just mentioned the possibility of several of us pooling together and buying this guy out. Here's a few people who *I think* might be interested in doing this: chuys450 DreamTR ianoid Murph74 PingvinBlueJeans retroillucid Trade-N-Games Zwackery If any of these people listed (or anyone else) is interested in doing this, contact Zwackery or myself.

PressureCooker2600 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 that would be cool if ya'll did this.... great idea, zwackery and the price wouldn't be as insane with multiple investors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homerwannabee Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 that would be cool if ya'll did this.... great idea, zwackery and the price wouldn't be as insane with multiple investors Wow, I thought it would be years before any video game lot would be bought out by multiple investors. Of course I usually think of something in the the six figure range and up when I think multiple investors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zwackery Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 that would be cool if ya'll did this.... great idea, zwackery and the price wouldn't be as insane with multiple investors logistically it will take a lot of negotiating beforehand (about who is after what title and what are they willing to pay) that will let us see if it is feasible and then we can worry about the rest of the issues (i.e., what to offer, who to ship it to, who to allocate packages & ship, reselling what nobody wants, etc.) - but hey, we are discussing it behind the scenes! Along with the 2600 and Vectrex, the Colecovision forms the video game triumvirate of my youth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamTR Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Zwackery: I'll go in on it. I only want 2-3 boxes out of there, but I will go in with more if needed to acquire more stuff based on how many people are in on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bones Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I sold a couple of those games to wickey a few months ago, weird to see them part of the auction, amazing collection really. Good luck putting a group buy together...lots of work but worth it if you can pull it off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamTR Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 The only time I ever bid against wickedster was when I outsniped him on some rare XONOX boxed games I needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did msg him when the lot came up but never heard back from him. I'd be interested in possibly picking up some of hte items in there for the right price. Although I fear it would be near impossible to get it to where everyone thought they were getting a fair shake out of the deal. And personally, at an average of $60 per game, it seems about 50% overpriced to me as a whole, but I also realize there are some titles in there that typically will fetch over $100 boxed. So, there may be something to it in the end. On a side note, I think Krualgiz is blowing an inheritance this week. And does anyone know the origin of the yellow boxed Sunrise stuff? I saw the Campaign 84 was yellow box, mine is original from Children's Palace but silver box. Just Curious. Murph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anyone you haven't outsniped for rare games you needed? I know I've fallen victim a few times over the years...I remember going "who the f&$! is the rain king?!" before I knew it was you... On a side note, I think Krualgiz is blowing an inheritance this week. And does anyone know the origin of the yellow boxed Sunrise stuff? I saw the Campaign 84 was yellow box, mine is original from Children's Palace but silver box. Just Curious. Krualgiz is a member here (retroillucid), but he's been kind of quiet. Yellow Sunrise...what do you mean by origin...it's just a variation I guess...a lot of the Sunrise games I've seen (Campaign '84, Rolloverture, etc.) have been in yellow boxes.

+Psionic Posted September 1, 2007 Author Share Posted September 1, 2007 Looks like the collection is back up with a lower buy-out price (but no offers). I don't know why he bought that Campaign '84..as if that's going to be the make or break selling point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why he bought that Campaign '84..as if that's going to be the make or break selling point? I wonder if someone will hit that $5100 BIN. (He no longer offers the BIN or Best Offer option, only the BIN.) Should we rally the troops again and get people pegged down on interests and prices?

Murph74 Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 I'm still watching, but still unable to get myself to that price point. Still looks about $1500 too rich for my blood. And even then, I'd be hard pressed to drop that much in one lot and still have a woman in my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
