xmetalhedx Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 I went to a Goodwill store a few hours ago expecting to find nothing as I usually do, but iwas pleasantly surpirsed. In the midst of a pile of 8 track cassetes i saw a 2600 football cart no big deal in itself, but it made me dig deeper where i found the rest. I ended up getting the following carts all for 59 cents each: 2600: football 8 bit: Kickback Gridrunner Pole Position BC's Quest for Tires Asteroids C64: Omega Race I only really collect for 2600 and 7800 as i dont even have a c64 or 8 bit computer to play the others on, but 59 cents was too low to turn down. I was just hoping you guys could give me an idea of how much they are worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathtrappomegranate Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Gridrunner and BC's Quest are both unusual. Nice find! The value is hard to judge...eBay 8-bit prices are unbelievably volatile. However, they are definitely worth more than you paid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjlazah Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 Nice find!!! I once found like 2 dozen Atari 800 Carts at a local Thrift store. All common ones though like Pacman and Asteroids etc but it was nice as I didnt have any at the time, after that I got into collecting them. When I see them I usually grab them, and for the C64 also.

Bryan Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 I'm just so annoyed that I used to walk by boxes and boxes of Atari stuff in thrift stores and think nothing of it. -Bry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjlazah Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 It is ULTRA rare to find 8 bit and even Commodore stuff these days! I remember the Atari and Commodore stuff just piled high! Not its Ink Jet printers and Scanners. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LYNXGUY Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 I always find atari game carts at GOODWILL & THE SALVATION ARMY and at some yard/garage sales too. I even found an Atari 800 in great shape for $20 and it works just fine however I did have to buy a power supply for it. I used to live in Cleveland and there was a store that had TONS & TONS of atari carts 8 bit, 2600, 5200, 7800. The store was called Tomorrows Heroes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
