SteelerFan Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 I decide to use one of my spring break days and hit some goodwll and thrift stores. Only saw a few common carts today. I did see a woodgrain atari unit at a Goodwill for $25.00. I passed on that one! It did have Combat and Pac-Man with it! I was tempted! HAHAHAHAHA I did stop at a crummy looking pawnshop and the owner said to come back on Saturday and he may have something for me. He seemd to think he had a few games SOMEWHERE in the back. I did pick a 5200 Quest for Quintana Roo the other day for 2 bucks. Nothing really spectactular, but its those little things that keep you motivated. My buddy has FIVE Chuckwagons. Two of those he got at a Goodwill a week apart... at the same Goodwill! WHAT LUCK! Wish me luck this weekend when I hit the fleamarkets!

sku_u Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 2 bucks for Quest for Quintana Roo 5200 is not bad at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snorlaxnut Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 Tomorrow I am going to the local Salvation Army thrift shop and Clevenger's, a sort of second hand/thrift shop. If it is just like the last time I went to those places, the only Atari items I will see is Combat & Football for the 2600, Super Breakout for 5200, and Spider City(?) for the Atari computers. But they are only $1.50, each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 i think sometimes thrifts are a rip off. i seen a game gear for $20. thats pretty expensive for a thrift. at the same store there were common intellivision carts for $4.25 i don't think they know what they have are worth, just slap on a price what they think is worth.

The MilkMan Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 There is a Thift shop near me that I think is running a racket. All the other stores sell carts at about 1-2 bucks tops. This one store sells 'em at 4.99 each, and commons at 2.99. I think somebody knows or researches their product. (no rares to be had - 4.99= 3s or 4s on AA rare scale). I know, 4.99 is chump change, but it can add up when see they have about 20 carts you need. The last time I was there, they about 50-60 titles, and only a couple repeats.
