eBay seller donkey*kong has quite a collection of Vintage Nintendo items up for sale at the moment. By vintage, I don't mean NES - we're talking old school Electronic Toys and TV Games
The main highlight is the Nintendo Computer TV Game CGT-HC10
From the auction:
Most rare vintage Nintendo item - 1st time on eBay?
Well, here it is. A console so rare, that it is missing from most overviews of Nintendo's video game past. In 1980 Nintendo released a home version of its Othello arcade game, at a time when the electronics required were almost too advanced for a home release. But they still did it. A very high retail price of 48.000 yen was one the reasons these were sold, and manufactured, in very low quantities. This console is almost impossible to find in Japan, let alone outside Japan.
The box shows some wear, but the system itself is in damn fine condition.
There's also the Nintendo Love Tester.
A 1969 hand held toy by A Gunpei Yokoi (father of Game and Watch and Gameboy). A Needle indicates "love" between two people holding the metal spheres.
There are a ton of other cool items as well. From Toys, Light Gun Games and more. I'll probably mention a few more in detail as the auctions progress, but in the meantime check out the sellers other items.
Wow, what a great find. That love tester is an amazing piece of history. Back then I understand a lot of Nintendo’s electronic stuff was all sort of “novelty” hardware like that. Just totally amazing.
