    Default Anyone ever buy from these guys?

    http://coleco.freeservers.com/colecovision.htm

    I was interested in a CV Galaxian but I've never heard of them before. Their website is on a freeserver and looks pretty amateurish. Actually, Galaxian is listed as "Galaxian Invasion" although no such game exists on the CV as far as I know. It makes me a little leary.

    Anyone ever dealt with these guys or have any opinions?
    Thanks

    I just looked at their website and I wouldn't buy from them. The prices are very high and they sell photocopies of manuals.

    Yeah, their accessories are ridiculous. I was surprised at some of the manual prices for such rare games till ybot noticed the catch.

    The site is part of Adams House, which has been selling copies of games for years. They do have some original product, but you would have to contact them first (though I don't know how honestly they will answer). Thay were also selling copies of homebrews without the original authors' permission at one point, which is kind of sleazy.

    Hey, I just got an email from them saying they have the "CBS version of Galaxian"

    As far as I know, since its an Atarisoft game, it would only have the Atarisoft label. I keep trying to pin these guys down but I feel like I'm

    I'm trying to get them to scan a pic of the actual cart. Hmmm. We'll see. . .
