Intellivision President Selling Game Collection

[@PatTheNESpunk]

What do you think about the auctions? Do you think any are fairly priced? Will any be bid on? SNES Dev kit auction here: bid.vegalleries.com/Super-NES-Emulator-SE-Developer-Kit_i46346793

[@XanthinZarda]

It is my only hope that Nintendo snaps the Devkit auction out of existence. One thing to _have_ a devkit though _atypical means,_ another to turn and sell their property.

[@ashers9680]

Honestly the Spider-Man collection is probably in the ball park of reasonable with a AF 1 7.0 restored and an ASM 1 restored 6.5 for 200k. Seems a little on the high side, but not 4x overvalued like the consoles. If someone paid that price, I wouldn't call them a sucker at least. The other books pictured are much lower valued, to the point of why even include them. You could probably get CGC 9.8 grades of all the other books shown for a combined 1000.00 ish, and that's with most of the value being carried by Spectacular 1. (My big collections are comics, N64, and PS2 games, so that's why I'm always in your comments talking about comparisons to comics.)

[@IkeFoxbrush]

I've seen overprized items on ebay and elsewhere and the reasoning behind that puzzled me for quite some time until I figured it out. It's typically from sellers who aren't sure what market value their listings have and try to approach that value from above by relisting them and gradually lowering the starting price each time. For buy-it-now items this is akin to a Dutch auction style. It's also an easy way to garner attention for rare items, especially on Ebay where you can add items to your watchlist and see when they are relisted. Of course there is also a chance that someone will buy it above market value, especially when your listing is the only one available. In short, overpricing rare and not so common items can be a reasonable strategy if you are in no hurry to sell and are not paying any auction fees.

[@IkeFoxbrush]

@@XanthinZarda I am not a lawyer, but I would suspect that after such a long time that Nintendo didn't ask to get their property back it now belongs to however has it in their possession.

[@TheCommanderTaco]

The prices seem outrageous, but then again I am not really into the retro game market as it has turned to expensive for me lol. I feel like as you'll stated it is either Tommy desperately needing cash ( maybe for all the Amico refunds lol) or it's the auction house not knowing what to set prices at since apparently all they really handle is "art". I mean just for some pieces of art ( not saying all) that really don't mean or say anything people are used to throwing around hundreds of thousands of dollars ( watch Critikal's videos on art if you don't believe me), so I am also leaning on them taking that approach with video games. Like you reported on before this is apart of the disaster that happens when you have people from another market enter into one they are unfamiliar with.

[@GoldenVulpes]

Hey at least he's trying to sell an actual product now. Give him some credit

I would say "Is he going to deliver any consoles though?" But I guess that's the auction house's job.

[@btread8875]

Hey Pat, I am a pong clone collector. I am here to confirm that they do indeed exist. 😁 When it comes to the auction price of $2K, I wouldn't bid. The most I would be willing to pay would be about $300 if I didn't already have the Nation Semiconductor Adversary, the boxed DMS Tele-Action Mini, and boxed Bentley Compu-Vision. I have never paid more than $50 for a pong (CIB by the way) and, in my experience, most stores don't even take them in because they can't sell them for much. You've actually met me at a couple of conventions this year but pongs never came up in the conversation.....The Amico did though. 😉

[@dracovania]

This is why you guys keep being the only one true reliable and relevant Amico coverage, because you don't make stuff up, you report on facts and in a very professional way, other imitate and envy your success and relevancy while you just do what you do best and what you do best is a joy to watch, keep it up.

[@lra1095]

In a video called "Tommy Tallarico’s INSANE Video Game MANSION..." you can see him showing off some boxed Famicom hardware, and at 1:28 you can see a ROB with a long ding in the upper left, and the lower left corner folded up a bit, and it exactly matches the one in the Famicom lot listing. He also has an Atari 2600 4 Switcher with the On/Off switch missing visible in that video, and the Atari lot has a 4 Switcher with the On/Off switch missing. So yeah, this is his stuff lol.

[@azbatslambo]

In late 2020, the highest graded Amazing Fantasy #15 a cgc 9.8 restored sold for $42,200. That is what a 5.5 unrestored was worth at the time, while 9.2 unrestored was worth nearly $600,000. Restoring comics may improve their looks, but it does nothing to help their value .

[@CollectingRetro]

That's probably the refurbished Twin Famicom AN505-BK I sold to Tommy a few years ago on eBay. I was shocked to see his name and had a nice little chat with him about the Amico. This was while things were still looking positive for the Amico....

[@trailersic]

so 2018?

[@CollectingRetro]

@@trailersic Yeah, somewhere around there. Late 2018 or early 2019. eBay doesn't archive too far back unfortunately. Cheap "junk" Twin Famicom were abundant at the time through Yahoo Japan and I would import them through a proxy service. All systems were cleaned up, had a new belt installed, and carefully aligned. Occasionally had to pull out the soldering iron, but not too often. I added up my belt purchases one time and I installed somewhere around 100 of them! It was a nice little side business for a while.

[@professorracc.9780]

hey man, I used to watch you two in 2013 when I was 13, and now that I'm 22 I'm glad you're still around. I've gotten back into the old video games hobby and it does me a lot of nostalgia that you're still kicking it. Wish you very well, and hope you keep making content. Thank you for all the years of nostalgia.

[@VOAN]

So what does the Intellivision Amico and Coleco Chameleon had in common now? They both got supported by Phil Adam, both never got released, and both ended with the Super NES in some way. In this case with the Amico it ends with Tommy selling his Super NES dev kit whereas the Coleco Chameleon ended becoming a Super NES Jr. in a Jaguar shell.

[@KomradeMikhail]

Tommy ruined his reputation to the point that he can no longer openly walk around on the floor of a gaming convention to buy/sell/trade, in the same way that you could run into him before the whole amico fiasco... His collecting ability has been vastly limited now, so he is divesting instead.

So the auctions have since largely been won by a suspicious amount of pre-bids at extremely high prices by a single bidder who either was or knew Tommy. Anyone who had money laundering on their bingo sheet feel free to tick it off.

From my investigating it looks like in the past that this auction house has sold many extremely over priced Disney props to people with way too much money. I think Tommy is hoping to con... I mean bless these same folks for an opportunity to over spend on his video game collection. Tommy knows full well that his stuff isn't worth that much, he's just hoping that he can trick more gullible people into buying his j unk. I also suspect that this is the same place where Tommy has blown a large amount of money on buying all of his "treasures" that he keeps in his hoarded house.

Having come to know about this Tommy Tallarico character through the whole Intellivision Amico saga, if he had some influence over the starting bid prices of these items, I would absolutely not put it past him to have placed a premium on these items on the basis of *his* ownership of them. The only item I really see his ownership having any kinda effect with is the SNES Devkit, given his work, but I fail to see how it's relevant at all for most of the other stuff.

[@chrisramsey6725]

Regarding the AF 15 restored 7.0: It depends on the amount of and quality of the restoration as to how much the value is diminished. I do know that many dealers will knock off up to 90% of the value of the comic if it was unrestored. I once had a 9.0 graded Showcase 23 (second Hal Jordan) with just color touch as the only restoration and it took me forever to sell it and when I did, I only got $700 for it. This is a book that at the time was worth almost $10,000 in that same grade unrestored.I would think that an AF15 7.0 with restoration (again, depending on the amount and quality) would fetch maybe $20,000. Personally, I now try to stay away from a restored comic (unless its Golden Age, as many of those tend to have some level of restoration). I would rather have an unrestored 1.8 than a restored 7.0.

Okay so clone consoles and knockoff consoles are basically worth whatever someone's willing to pay for them however some are on the higher end of what people would be willing to pay for them. I know that makes no sense but it's the best way I could put it. For example one of the most desired pong clone consoles is one of the consoles Nintendo made and yes there were multiple everyone thinks there was just one but I have seen at least two separate councils and I guarantee you there was probably a few different variants made. And for knockoff consoles the rule is the more of a knockoff system they are the more desired they are.

I wouldn't call this devkit "his". This devkit is in his possession, but it's not his. Devkits like this one are provided to developers basically on a rental basis - the devs would pay a fee and they would keep the devkits for as long as they needed them. But once they were no longer required, they were to be returned. Sony and MS also do this. So this devkit that Tommy has is not his, it remains the property of Nintendo, and should have been returned to them long ago. That's why they are generally not seen very often, it's because they are supposed to be sent back to the console maker.

His valuations aren't based on the market for those items, but based instead on his perception of himself as a formerly successful video game creator. Also he's probably off to manage his neighborhood drug store and for the sake of his sanity he needs the reminders out of his house.

Yet another child star ruining his life. Sad.

[@lasskinn474]

the most laff think about tommy is when he speaks stuff like "I created earthworm jim (on this)" (without qualifier 'tested the snes versions music' or some such)

[@Gary_Hun]

"Once owned by Tommy Tallarico" could have been a multiplier if he hadn't yet tarnished his name down under the frog's ass.

Maybe Tommy figures the people who browse that auction site are rich and usually don't care about overpaying for stuff.

[@BainesMkII]

Rather than not caring about overpaying, it is much more likely targeting people that don't know anything about game prices. He picked an auction house that doesn't deal in video games, and set minimum bids that are 5x the price of the combined items. He only needs to luck his way into a single sucker bidding on a single set to see massive returns.

@@BainesMkII Good point. Rich person who sees something interesting and just wants it.

[@lasskinn474]

the devkit needs other stuff. there is a recorded sale of one in the past that had everything listed it needs and had.

[@michael_stout79]

Tommy strikes again

[@WillyTung]

You'll get at least one bid from one of his crazy groupees.

[@space302]

Not sure it's even legal to sell a devkit that belongs to Nintendo.

[@jbfarley]

It doesn't

[@Acts19quiz]

9:35 I would not be too terribly surprised if at least one person out there would place a bid on that pong collection solely for the name of the person who owned it.

[@antdah]

Hey, I can easily see some of those graded sealed game speculator idiots going for some of these auctions. I'm thinking Tommy thinks this too... _edit:_ Wait, they're not all sealed in the box, I wasn't paying enough attention. Yeah, not even the speculator idiots are going to buy his used shit for that much.
