A lot of items on their site are no longer available

That´s the little problem I am having, too; however, after asking what and ho wlong "Order:Pending" means I received a very kind and detailed email so all is fine with me even if waiting for "up to 10-12 weeks until we´ll have it back in stock" is kind of hard.

I've only ever had positive deals with them - when there was once a problem, they put it right quickly & without fuss. I've spent 100s there over the years, not got a bad word to say about them other than I wish their site was 1005 up-to-date, but then I suppose they wish the same, too

I have had good experiences with them over the years, but be aware that as of the current date, all they basically have left is some Lynx and Jaguar stuff. Almost everything I have asked about that they listed not on those two lists is no longer in stock.

I know, and has been so over a week. Just my personal luck with getting that damn rare game from the only European seller I have found

Let us all know what game you are looking for so we can keep an eye out for you also.

Aah no worries - I already ordered and paid 2 months ago
However, I agreed to wait until they get it back in stock (tho on the website it was!), so I guess I´ll just have to wait.

Has anyone from the US successfully contacted Telegames lately? I have sent two e-mails to their sales e-mail address in the past two months about whether some games are in stock and have not gotten a response at all. Given the unfinished look of their website and the fact that they sold a lot of their stock to classic game source in Florida, it makes me hesitant to order.

Telegames USA sold all their stock

Telegames UK didn't, generally if they have it listed they have it in stock.

No, actually Telegames UK sold most of their classic stock a couple of years ago. I know because I exchanged e-mails with the owner of Classic Game Source at the time and she talked about the hassle of shipping it all from the UK, customs issues and her struggle with what to do with all the PAL titles she received and which she believes Telegames misrepresented to her as NTSC or dual compatible.

So that's where they got all their PAL stuff from. I have been periodically scanning eBay US for PAL stuff out of interest and Classic Game Source come up all the time.

I's say Telegames as we knew it is probably gone for good. Updated web site has nothing to do with video games at all.

[averybluemonkey]

They updated it in the last couple of days with information on their relaunching of the site. They've still been selling over the last few months as I've dealt with them successfully.

[Clay]

That is good to see, but that is not what came up yesterday.

Yeah did you get the bog standard Wordpress page with the tree picture? I freaked a bit when I saw it thinking someone was cyber squatting on their domain or something as I've still got an item outstanding, but all looking good now .

Almost 5 months now that I´ve been waiting
