kyle Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 Hey i went out game hunting like i do most every saturday well after college football season anyway lol. But anyway a couple of nice finds. I picked up a intellivison for $5!! I dont have any games for it yet i guess i'll have to hit ebay for a few int carts. And at a local pawn shope that has started takeing old video game systems in the last month i found 3 2600 carts i didnt have they are cosmic creeps. spacechase and space cavern. Got all 3 carts for $8. I was pretty happy with todays finds i have had bigger days but the intelli for $5 was pretty sweet and the vcs carts are two 3s and one 4 as far as rarity. So anyone else have a good saturday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariLeaf Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 I've got to start hitting the thrifts. I've been working two jobs lately and haven't had much time. To top it off, someone from Point Aux-something Ontario put an ad in our local Pennysaver looking for Atari and Colecovision systems and games so that doesn't help either. Is this person on Atariage?

Brad2600 Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 I have the same problem. Some ass is advertising in the local paper around here in Burlington..where I live. So far I know it's not Xot and I never placed any ads so looks like there's competition for Atari stuff around here. That sucks for sure.

I placed an ad in my local paper several months ago and have yet to get a call from it I don't think it works very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsoper Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 Saw a bunch of stuff at the flea market, but everything good was something I already had: worn Pitfall2, Activision Checkers, Colecovision Gorf. $35 dreamcast (already have 3), 5200 system (already have 3), you get the idea Sure a lot of N64 systems around now though:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy_Dude Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 I should write up a standard response for these threads I love hearing about other peoples finds, especialy when I can't get out game hunting, thats why I created the "official" thrift finds thread (link in sig ) But that was a sweet deal on the intellivison. Wish I could find one, I already have 5 games for the intellivison but no console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I placed an ad in my local paper several months ago and have yet to get a call from it I don't think it works very well. I placed an ad once but it was way back in the early 90's, maybe 93, well before ebay and perhaps before retro-gaming was a coined phrase. It worked very well at that time. I had picked up hundreds of games and systems at very low, almost give away costs but that was a long time ago. I'm thinking of just printing up a couple flyers and putting them in local grocery stores and see if anyone bites. I've got a couple errands today so I'm going to try and see if there be any goodies to be found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulMcCraneFan Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 Jeez, all of you who found so much are lucky! There's been nothing around here lately other than the Wico Command Control joystick I found last week. Of course, I know I have a lot of competition around here too, so that doesn't help. I like the idea of putting up ads. Maybe I'll do some of those when I do my free gerbils ads. Have to get rid of all my gerbies before I move, b/c they're illegal in California.
