cncfreak Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Well I decided to go to my local flea market on Sunday morning and I found probably my best find in a couple years. It was an Atari 2600 Heavy Sixer with 43 games. I was able to get it for $40.00 and this was in it. I've been looking for it for a decade and finally found it out in the wild. There was also a Death Trap in the bundle I needed as well. Those two put me right at 300 in my 2600 collection. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philflound Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 It's sometimes hard to keep your composure when you come across something great. You have to though, or else the seller may get suspicious that they have something good and either raise the price or decide not to sell it to you so they can investigate.

cncfreak Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 I'm normally a face of stone. At least I just started talking a little fast to my wife and whispered to her about Waterworld. The guy who was selling the items wasn't around at the time hehe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 This is why I've not given up on Flea markets. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacey Invader Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 All I ever find are light fours and copies of Pitfall. If she goes game hunting at flea markets, you've got a pretty understanding wife, too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cncfreak Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 (edited) All I ever find are light fours and copies of Pitfall. If she goes game hunting at flea markets, you've got a pretty understanding wife, too. Yeah since early March the wife and I have started setting up at a local flea market on Saturdays and Sundays so she see's it as getting stock for the booth and she's said many times she also does it just to spend time with me. I also have started putting videos of me setting up at the booth as well as me game hunting out in the wild. This instance when I found the game, I told her, sorry hun this one goes into my collection hehe. Edited June 18, 2015 by cncfreak 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Army Of 2600 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I would be interested in seeing the video of it. I am a sucker for the found footage genre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cncfreak Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share Posted June 19, 2015 I would be interested in seeing the video of it. I am a sucker for the found footage genre. Go to my Youtube channel (link below) and watch CCG Episode #20. The exact instance I walk up starts at 6:30 but there's some other footage of me finding a couple other things in the video as well.

famicommander Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Great. Now I have to go to the flea market, and I'll probably just end up with another Laserdisc player like last time I went. Can't resist Laserdisc stuff. This is all your fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't resist Laserdisc stuff. This is all your fault. Hehe sorry about that. Speaking of Laserdisc players I need to get mine fixed. It's the Pioneer one with S-video and Optical out. I miss watching movies on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
