Looking to buy a few more early games such as:

- Entex Turtles

- Gakken Amidar

- Mattel Electronics Bowling

- Radio Shack/Tandy Astro Thunder

- Tomy Digital Daredevil
- Tomy Lupin
- Tomy Tron
- Tomy Power House Pinball
- Tomytronic 3D's (except Thundering Turbo)


Not interested in super-clean, boxed versions. Just playable and fair priced. Thanks!

Tomy Tron can be found on eBay for around $40 US if you wait a while. I bought one at that price and a friend of mine bought a nicer one for the same.

I got Thundering Turbo for about $17 with the sticker peeling off, but it's totally playable. The rest of the Tomytronic 3Ds seem to be a bit more expensive.

If you only want a Mario's Cement Factory that's playable look for the keychain replica from Stadlbauer, I got one for about $15 I think.

Appreciate the suggestion, Singer, but Epay shipping from US to Canada is ridiculous sometimes. Usually around $20 USD minimum. Frustrating. Not wealthy.

Have to say I would prefer the full-size Mario's Cement Factory.

Agreed about the shipping OTTOgd, but I include the shipping when I'm talking about cost. It doesn't make much sense to say I got a game for $10 if it cost $20 shipping on top, I'd just say I got it for $30.

So when I say I got Tron for about $40 that includes shipping. And yes I am in the US and got it shipped domestically but I think it was about $25 with $15 shipping, something like that. Even within the US the shipping can sometimes be high, because the seller can set it to whatever they want to, it doesn't have to reflect actual shipping cost necessarily. So when I'm searching, I just sort by price and it will add the price and the shipping cost together. It's just a matter of patience, watch many items and only buy when you find one in your price range. My Tron is not mint condition and it doesn't come with the box, but it works. The screen has no scratches. Some of the marquee artrwork is faded.

Once I got a Tiger 2-XL with about 15 tapes for about $40 total cost that shipped from the UK. I think they wanted to send it via air for like $30 of shipping. I asked the seller for other options so they sent it ground (which must mean on a barge) across the pond for like $10. So the total cost was only $40. Although it took about 2 months to arrive.

I would also seek out lots. Game & Watches have been too expensive for my budget, they usually sell north of $100. Well I bought a lot of about 18 games for $90 and one of them was a Donkey Kong II Game & Watch. When I buy a lot I usually assign a price to each game to see if it's a good deal. I think 2 of the games ended up not working, I figured the rest were worth about $4 each so I consider that my Donkey Kong cost $20. It is missing a sticker from the front but it works, fully playable and no scratches on the screen. It was unfortunately missing the battery cover which doesn't matter for some games, but in this case made it almost unplayable. I bought a reproduction battery cover for about $7 on eBay as well that solved that. So a working Game & Watch for about $27.

That's just my experience with eBay. Have a lot of patience and you can find stuff closer to the price you want to pay, as long as you don't want it in box.
