Watson2112 Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Any Coleco ADAM stuff, per chance? I think the only ADAM item I have is a game that says "ADAM" on it instead of just Colecovision, sorry. I will, however, be selling a Colecovision system, games, and expansion packs (the steering wheel and the Atari 2600 adapter) if you're interested.

Dr Galaga Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 Dan - nice job on the show . I know that there were not a lot of people there, but it is a start. I got some good deals, plus I got to meet a few people from the AA group. You also did a nice job on the newsletter that you passed out. I use to run a hamfest (ham radio and computer swap meet) for a few years, so I know how much work goes in to running something like this. If you plan on doing this again next year I'll PM you a few ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
