Title: FS: Magnavox Odyssey 4000 and Bentley Compu-Vision (PONG) $30 SHIPPED

You can own both of these fine state-of-the-art home-tv video games (fun for all the family etc) for the low low price of $40! (includes shipping within the US).

While I was packing boxes for my move, I came accross the two of these old farts sitting the the shipping boxes I got them in (when I went on an eBay vintage console kick). As far as I can remember, they both work fine. They might need a little do-dad to hook up (the compu-vision has the same hook-up as a 2600 and the Odyssey has the old 'screw-into-two-polls-on-the-back-of-your-set' type of hookup.

The Odyssey 4000 (1977) was the last Odyssey that Magnavox produced and features eight different games in color! (by eight different games, it really means eight variations on Pong). This is in good (not perfect) condition and comes with a power block and TV hook-up.

The Bentley Compu-Vision is a strange anomaly, in that it's pretty much a basic Pong machine, but it was released in 1983 when games were much more advanced. This is in near-perfect condition and comes with manual, power block and TV hook-up.

I'll try and take some quick photos when I get home today.

The Odyssey2 is a whole different ball game, the Odyssey4000 is the last in the line of original Odyssey (Pong) consoles.

True enough... you should post some pics of your stuff, it's definitely the type of thing that would be good to preserve.

You may need to rethink your pricing to get more attention.

$30 shipped. I can't go any lower than that- shipping alone is going to cost me $15-20.

Sure, I'll take it. I collect old pong units (don't ask me why).
Just give me your paypal address.
