Actually AV systems and games were sold overseas as well. But definitely not in large numbers. I remember Tom Spilliaert from Belgium finding a complete MIMB set (or two?) more than 10 years ago.

Maybe some systems were shipped for US military in Europe also.

Boxed Entex 3-D Escape 1000 Mazes just sold on eBay.

Even with non-responsive buttons (though probably an easy fix) it went for $760!

I bet that seller was surprised!

i'm french and already talked about prices rising here.

now it's worse, i getting irritated about insane prices some around are bidding on "french" LCD/vfd games. (ludotronic, cegi, orlitronic, ...)

it's totally awesome the prices some are putting on "boxed" games. Rolling Eyes

i have got recently a Gakken Robin hood, boxed. i'd prefer burn it than selling on ebay , just to imagine two bidders going mad Twisted Evil

Then just sell it to me, quietly... No one needs to know. Cool

Some of the French/German/UK games have become some of the most sought after games in the last few years... Things like the LCD table-top games and Hanzawa re-brands come to mind... I'm still after some of them myself, but there's a few members here that are tough to outbid! Rolling Eyes

the fact is this is fun for me and many i hope to find these jewels and shapes and styles without many funds and KEEP them ! Very Happy

but seeing some damaged box with tabletop "french" at around HALF a payroll Shocked

sure in ebay, we french are totally outbid, the shame is on sellers too, they devastate local sales in french towns to put on ebay worldwide... Rolling Eyes

i guess i'll never be able to find some "lcd game chronometer" as they go around 150-280€ Sad

Someone else got another good deal on an Adventure Vision:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350271588342

Loose and no battery cover, but for $150 I'd have bought it! Did anyone here get it? I wonder if it will just get re-listed in a normal auction in a few days. Cool

Elephant in the room, eh? No one wants to mention Alex's incredible collection up on eBay for an opening bid of $35,000?

Wow, I'm surprised he didn't post it here... I didn't even know it was listed (I figured he would list games individually).

Good luck with the sale! I'm surprised GameSniped hasn't mentioned this one...

It is just a way of publicity, a $5 Dollar ad. Since you can't make auctions based on catalogs from which to choose from , I thought that putting on ebay a price like that it would have drawn attentions,I was thinking to put $50000 Very Happy

, and once the auction ends people might start asking for this game or that one. I'm obviously not expecting to sell it as a whole!Especially now that 60 games are gone. Lets see how it goes. Neutral
