Hi, those are very nice Brazilian cartridges, but I do think they work fine in the NTSC version of Magnavox Odyssey. At least, NTSC karts do work in Brazilian consoles, pretty fine.

Clay Pigeon is indeed the holy grail of the lot. I do think it is worth over US$ 100, even in Brazil.

The other carts are also hard to find, despite not as hard as Clay Pigeon. I think they worh at least US$ 30 each, as they are in very good condition.

Congrats for the lot!

I noticed the word BRAZILIAN does not appear in the auction. That's misleading. It looks like it's intentionally left out so as to make it look domestic.

Intentionally? Whow, someone must warns the seller, cause, in my view, the fact that the carts are from Brazil, only makes them worth more, according to Digital Press rates.

Any chance you can adjust the shipping charges? $4.99 for Parcel Post (2 week delivery) is absurd. First Class is only $1.50 and even 2-3 day Priority is $4.30. O_O

DP rates aren't the be all and end all of value. There are many people who don't have interest in nonUS games no matter how rare.

Stuff being from Brazil doesn't make it more valuable. I think that for the predominance of buyers, it makes it less valuable. There are a bunch of import guys who cherish the stuff and more, but once you saturate that aggressive clan, prices drop fast. We've seen it happen in the 2600 market.

Plus the carts are loose, so I would anticipate these being relative deals. We'll see.

Sorry kids, been away from the computer a few days and getting caught up on the dish on my post.

I haven't really dealt with int'l carts much, but I see the point in specifying that these O2 games are indeed Brazillian carts and will update the auctions to reflect that.

They do indeed work fine in NTSC unit, as I tests and played with each on my own console (quite fun too!)

As far as shipping charges, I generally ship all items Priority Mail with tracking, just to assure you that you item arrives quickly and if for some reason USPS takes a while, we can both keep an eye on it. In the event someone wins multiple auctions, I'll happy combine shipping costs and try to keep it as low as possible. I don't see any reason to charge much more than shipping costs and the cost of the packaging.

If you have any other questions, feel free to reach me through my site, www.j2games.com or through the Ebay auctions.

As far as Digital Press guide on pricing, sometimes they are on the money, sometimes high, sometimes low. As I couldn't find any history of these games selling on Ebay in the past, I have to take the DP values as a guide and hope for the best... good luck bidding!
