Got Colecovision?

I was recently transferring photo's from an old computer onto an external hard drive and found this pic. http://www.flickr.com/photos/81688446@N03/7674084574/in/photostream

I found these at an indoor flea market in 2003. I wanted one of each but the seller insisted I buy them all or none! Didn't really want all of them, but the collector in me couldn't walk away from a cool find. After some intense haggling for 15 minutes( it was awful...we were practically yelling at each other!) I bought the lot for around $300. I had a hard time getting them all in my car! I kept the nicest one of each for myself and sold some to friends and fellow collectors. Still have a few extras in storage. I never got around to asking where the seller got them. Wish I could make a find like this now.

Holy crap

Very nice find.

Hell of a buy!
What is the Odyssey behind the coleco stuff?
I would love someone to force me to buy them all.....I would be happy!

Any extra ones you have for a good price?

The odyssey is the original Magnavox Odyssey. I was in a thrift and a guy I knew from the flea market scene held it up and said " hey you collect this stuff right?". It is brand new in its box, in the original shipping box. It was cool of him to give it to me. I paid him back a year later when I found some cool 60's slot car stuff (which he collects) and gave it to him.

I know your purchase was from 2003, but I must say: Nice find!

That's amazing. I have a love-hate relationship with this place because as much as I like to hear about people making awesome finds like that, shit like this NEVER happens to ME. :|
