    Default Colecovision lot I sold

    I just sold this colecovision lot on ebay:

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MESO%3AIT&rd=1

    I have no idea why it went for as much as it did. Is there something in there that is really rare that I've missed?

    It looks to me like you got lucky. I wouldn't value that stuff that high.

    It was probably some crazy bidder who really wanted that atari adaptor thing. That's my guess, at least.

    Default atari adaptor

    don't think so, because that atari adaptor sells for about 20 bucks on ebay [dp value is $15]. I do agree that I got lucky on it, though. I thought it would go for 200 bucks tops, and was really only expecting about $150.

    I'd have to say you were just damn lucky. Guess someone didn't really know of it's worth, wanted it bad cause it had tons of games and got in a bid war. It's a really nice looking lot, so that alone sure helped the ending price.

    Well it was definitely a bidding war.

    But the fact that it is one of the nicest laid out auctions I've seen in a while sure helped .
    Nice job with the pictures and description. That helped a lot.

    Default payment

    Well, the guy just paid - $339 bucks by the time Shipping & Handling and insurance were included.

    BTW - before anyone says thats too much for shipping -
    I sell more stuff on ebay then I buy (mostly because of an incredible stream of good luck I've had this summer) so I have to actually buy shipping materials, and you would be surprised how much a roll of bubble wrap and a few cubic feet of packing peanuts cost...

    anyway, thanks for all the compliments from everyone for my listing skills.
