Yeah the Intellevision is a great deal especially with all those games. Those rarely pop up on ebay and the last one went for about $50.
I've hit a bit of a dry spell at the Thrift store as far as games go, although I've found some fairly new Hardcover books for $1.00 so I won't complain too much.
Thrift store finds! Heck ya!

Re: Thrift store finds! Heck ya!
Really? Because when I looked it up...the games were barely selling and when they did it was for 2 or 3 bucks each or 10 for a lot. The systems were going for 15-30 when I looked too. So i felt it was a average deal, I'm still very happy. But to to me a killer deal is when you find Toe Jam and Earl complete and mint for 3 bucks at goodwill, which I was lucky enough to snag a copy weeks back. Plus I picked up the Deadly Discs of Tron for 50 cents a few days ago. I want to pick up the other 2 tron games as well and start rocking the intellivision a bit more.pompeyparsons wrote:Yeah the Intellevision is a great deal especially with all those games.

Re: Thrift store finds! Heck ya!
Ottobot, I stand corrected. I just did a search of completed listings as well and you're right Intellivisions are going for between $20-$30 just like you said along with the games.
I thought I saw one with very few games going for $50+ the other day. I must be imagining things
In any case its a cool little system, the games are rather simplistic but I find them pretty fun for the most part.

Well, when you add in shipping, it turns out to be a pretty good deal. They are pretty big and a bit heavy so shipping usually add another 10-15 bucks. Plus goodwill doesn't charge tax here. So not bad at all.

Re: Thrift store finds! Heck ya!
These threads always make me so jealous, I picked up ecco the dolphin, beavis and butthead, ghouls'n ghosts, and the revenge of shinobi genisis carts for 25 cents each. Nothing amazing but you can't beat the price.
