christianscott Posted January 29, 2002 Share Posted January 29, 2002 NEW ENGLAND AREA TRADEMEET FEBRUARY 23 On Saturday the 23rd of February i'll be hosting the third New England area trademeet here in Boston, this post is an invitation to all classic gaming collectors and enthusiasts in the region to come by and join us. As always the meet will be great chance to trade off your extras and meet some people who share your hobby. The meeting will be a casual affair, this is more like a party than a convention, no dealer booths or jacked up prices just people playing and trading games. Hopefully this meet will have something for everyone, from rare games for the advanced collector to cheap working systems for someone just getting started. i have a vast collection of items for trade here, covering systems from the 2600 to the saturn and i'm expecting to see some pretty impressive trade stashes from previous attendees. the gaming theme of this trademeet will be "specialized controllers and the games they were built for" in other words we're going to play spitfire attack with the cannon, Virtual On with the twinsticks and so on... if you have any items that match this theme please bring them along (especially some somba de amigo marraccas!). i will be serving beer, soda and snacks and guest are welcome to bring over whatever suits them. the meeting should run from 4pm to the early evening, directions are pasted below and i'll be standing by the phone to guide the lost and confused thru boston. for those not familar with the city...yes this is a safe neighborhood with parking. if you have any specific questions or would like to RSVP (would be nice you know) please send me an email--- christianscott27@aol.com. if you have any other questions or would like to let people know what you're bringing/looking for simply follow up this thread. 19 Anson Street Jamaica Plain MA 0213 FROM PROVIDENCE / SOUTHERN N.E.
