Hank Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 Not a thrift store, but placed an ad in the paper looking for Atari stuff and got a lot with a four switch, a Jr, and about 60 games for $5 from one guy. I giggled the whole way home! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geeknout Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 A friend (non-collector) at work told me that the local goodwill had a 2600 without hookups and with a game inserted for $2.50. I went to get it two days later (been very busy) and it was GONE. I advised friend to purchase any 2600 systems priced under $5 for me or risk royal ass-whoopin.

krisjohn Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 No Atari stuff, but I did score a working Apple PowerCD. Now I'm looking for something like USB2 or Firewire -to- SCSI and some Windows drivers so it can be the CD-ROM drive for my next PC project...

MegaManFan Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 I bought 6 games at Goodwill for $26 - three NES games loose, and three Genesis games CIB. I figured it was worth it for the Genesis games alone (Gamers here charges $10 and up for boxed games). The NES stuff was pure SeanBaby crap I've always wanted; including Chubby Cherub and M.U.S.C.L.E. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerG Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 I found 5200 Zaxxon ($2), 2600 Wall Ball ($3) and 2600 Sentinel (boxed, mint) ($3) and six other 2600 game that I don't have. These officially put me over the 200 mark (all have been found in the wild!). It was a really good day for me and I am thankful the wife lets me stop at flea markets on road trips .

Lifeguard Posted June 28, 2003 Share Posted June 28, 2003 What a deal this was! Found this at the local swap meet for all of $6 ! 7800 Console with 2 controllers and a power supply 9 7800 Carts 35 2600 Carts I asked the longtime owner (yeah right... ) how much and the guy said $7; I probably could have got him down to $5 but since it was turning out to be such a good morning I asked if he would take $6 and the deal was done! Didn't have the switch box but I'll make do. Mostly all commons on the cartridges but there are a few new ones to add to the collection. After I picked this up a saw a boxed Intellivision ( it wasn't that pretty )which I passed on and another guy had a 5200 with 4 common games. Of course I asked how much and he said $35! I said I'm glad I found the 7800 stuff first and went on my way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulMcCraneFan Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 Did good tonight... Miner 2049er (rarity 5) for $1.99!! Also got the following for $1.99 each... Coconuts and M.A.D. (Both rarity 4) Fast Food, M*A*S*H, Spider-Man, and Star Wars Jedi Arena (All rarity 3, and getting Jedi Arena means I now have all the Star Wars games.) Crystal Castles, Dig Dug, Haunted House, Mouse Trap, and Sky Jinks (All rarity 2) They had around 30 games at the store. Mostly commons, so I got lucky with finding the rarer ones. What was interesting was that they had Space Invaders and several other commons for $5-$7, which is absolutely ridiculous. None of the ones I bought had price tags on them, so the clerk told me $1.99 apiece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisjohn Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 $5. :Dhttp://www.SteveJuon.com/retro/pics/5vectrex.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 Don't feel too aggravated - I'm willing to put them all up for trade or purchase except for Rip Off and Spike (the two that I needed). They also had a Berzerk but I was a buck short so I left it behind, if you need it I could pick it up manana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christophero Sly Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 It's been bone dry around here for months, but I stopped into a thrift today and found a CX-22 track-ball for $0.74. A track-ball isn't something that I ever expected to find in the wild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
