Brad2600 Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 I've thought about it pretty lately ever since I organized my games shelf I was noticing how not everything fit on it. Hmm. I am cutting back on games. Though I will have some trades and sales done soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophero Sly Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 I told myself that as far as collecting went, I would tone things down for the summer...NOPE!!! I'm up to my eyeballs in summer projects and assorted dramas, but my collection continues to grow exponentially and I'm still finding time to play Ms. Pac-Man for about an hour a day. I can't think about it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 I told myself I'd stay off EBay for a while but I feel the urge to get back on and bid. Damn. Atari really is addicting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdie3 Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 Dolt, what is the album on your avatar?? I seem to remeber it from about 3 or 4 years ago and it was really good but I can't place it in my mind. Please tell me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GruBBworM Posted August 6, 2003 Author Share Posted August 6, 2003 How many times a day do you got to ebay DONT LIE!!!!!!!! I bet I surf it 400 times a day!!!!!! In search of the ultimate atari newbie that doesnt know what he has and puts a stupid BIN on it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 How many times a day do you got to ebay DONT LIE!!!!!!!! It's been a while since I looked at Ebay. At least three weeks. Maybe longer. It's very rare that something turns up on Ebay that I don't already have/have access to that I want, so I haven't been checking the listings.

dougy76 Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 How many times a day do you got to ebay DONT LIE!!!!!!!! I bet I surf it 400 times a day!!!!!! In search of the ultimate atari newbie that doesnt know what he has and puts a stupid BIN on it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I probably check it 1-5 times a day when I'm at work. If I'm not at work, I probably never check it. But I like checking out the highest priced auctions for different Atari systems. It's always interesting to see what rare games show up and how much they go for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GruBBworM Posted August 7, 2003 Author Share Posted August 7, 2003 I QUIT!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 Aww come on. All you need is a form of self control. I'm no longer thinking of quitting. I've found a balance by selling off commons that I've gotten from friends. It's supposed to help make back what I lost on EBay. I dunno.

GruBBworM Posted August 7, 2003 Author Share Posted August 7, 2003 I got a stack of a 100 carts that are duplicates and over 200 that are not havent quite figured out what to do with the 100 duplicates yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 Put the duplicates on EBay? If you have anything that I'm missing, let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolt Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 Voch called it--the album is Fountains of Wayne's "Utopia Parkway." Truthfully, their latest album that came out last month, "Welcome Interstate Managers" might even be better, but the cover doesn't look as good reduced, so I went with the UP cover instead. If you liked the UP album, though, I STRONGLY suggest getting WIM--it will utterly blow you away with some great power pop and even a country tune thrown in for good measure. To give you an idea of the quality, Blender (Maxim's music mag) gave it a full 5 stars. It's just a fun, fun record from beginning to end. End of Infomercial.

AtariDude Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 I only check out Ebay when I am looking for a specific cartridge. I am currently working on completing collections from specific companies. Granted it was easy to get addicted to Ebay until my pocket book started complaining and saying to stop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voch Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 I do the eBay thing now and again but have made fewer and fewer purchases since I have almost all the commons for the 2600 (okay, not really, but all the 1's and all but two of the 2's). When I get a new system that I've never had before I may use eBay to pick up new commons. I do more Atari 2600 purchasing now from some online stores, thrift stores, and flea markets.

tantone56 Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 hey guys your all been talking about how you keep checking on ebay for stupid newb sellers. I was just woundering what is the best buy youve ever gotten off of ebay as a result of frequently checking newly listed atari items. -tantone56 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 yea i can relate, there is always a small voice in me that says 'go zen, sell it all, you have most of it on emulators anyway!' but its always swallowed by the 'OOOH WHAT NEW 2600* GAMES IS COMING OUT NEXT???' )*and other systems from time to time( or the >DAMN I ONLY NEED [X] GAMES TO COMPLETE MY {Y} COLLECTION!!! MUST BUY MORE!!!< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolt Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 Yeah, but I always wind up with the Mo' Better Blues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 More is NOT always better. In my case, the duplicates are a pain in the ass as you can see in the Marketplace forum..I'm still trying to get rid of some. They're perfect for someone who wants to start a subset of Sears text labels. I used to have dozens of games with those labels. I'm a fool. I can't even afford a digital camera to take pictures of what I have and sell it on EBay. I'm asking for a digital camera for my b-day or Christmas this year...LOL. Someone sent me a Shark!Shark! cart for the INTV yesterday that I don't remember asking about or paying for. Hmm. Perhaps they trust me enough to unload it on me?

GruBBworM Posted August 8, 2003 Author Share Posted August 8, 2003 like I said I got just over a 100 dup 2600 carts I still ponder over what to do with im not gonna give them away but you are right they do take up some space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 Sell them in the Marketplace! I just sold 20 of the ones I had listed in the Marketplace not too long ago. Just waiting for payment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 I'd buy some loose 2600 carts, but I've been concentrating on getting as many boxed common titles as I can first. But I know what you mean kepone. I have about 20 common 5200 carts that I cannot even get rid of.. Bummer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GruBBworM Posted August 10, 2003 Author Share Posted August 10, 2003 How much do they give you at the store?? and would it be worth it by the time you paid shipping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 But I know what you mean kepone. I have about 20 common 5200 carts that I cannot even get rid of.. Bummer Try eBay. I sold a lot of 8 and got just over $16 including shipping for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
