Yeah I think I'm going to go for the Coleco. The guy still hasn't sorted out the things he wants to unload before he moves, but I'm holding onto the cash until he does. He says he's got duplicates of a few of the common games, but he's not sure what yet.

Don't get a 2600. Get a 7800. That way you get 2600 games and Ninja Golf.

They are even harder to find here, although I like the control pads on those.

Are there any cheap AV mods for the Colecovision around? I got myself an AV modded 2600 for a very cheap price, not much more than you'd pay for a normal 2600. How much a modified Colecovision costs approximately? I would really like to buy a Coleco, but if the a modded console costs 75-100 euros more than a regular, I probably wont buy one. And I dont know how to mod consoles myself.

My mate has half sorted thru the hardware and he a spare Console, 2 controllers, trackball controller and the atari add on that. He still hasnt gone thru his games for dupes yet, but it looks like he's got a nice set of stuff to sell. I'm hoping that he'll take about £80 for it all.
