Pitfall Harry Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 Ultimate Video Game Yard Sale - this weekend only!! It saddens me beyond words to part with my videogame collection, so I will not try. I have to sell, sell, sell as fast as I can, because if I am unable to raise $2,500 by the end of this month I'll have no place to put my collection anyway. My situation creates an incredible buying opportunity for anyone even remotely within driving distance of Pitfall Harry's Lost Videogame Cavern, located at: 739 E. Juanita Ave, Glendora, CA 91740 If you want to pick up some common, hard to find, or rare classic videogames at great prices, I urge you to make a road trip out to my place this weekend. I'll be here for the next 90 minutes to answer questions and take reasonable pre-sale offers. For higher bandwidth, you can IM me at myname_is_ben (yahoo). Thanks, Ben Yard Sale will be held on March 20 and 21: Saturday:10a.m. - 6:30 p.m. Sunday: 11:a.m. - 4:00 p.m. ...or until the target $2,500 has been raised, whichever comes first. There are far too many items and too little time for me to itemize the collection, but here are some of the highlights: Atari 2600 over 400 different titles many duplicates label variations over 100 different boxed games Eli's Ladder, Stronghold, Off Your Rocker, Rescue Terra I, Quadrun, Swordquest Waterworld to name only a few of the rares. Heavy sixer in Atari brand suitcase Atari 5200 2 and 4-port consoles over 50 titles boxed games Masterplay interface Wico 5200 controllers Atari 8-bit home computers over 100 cartridge titles many different model consoles Atari Jaguar A dozen or so titles Boxed Jaguar CD unit Commodore 64 over 100 cartridge titles NES over 400 different titles over 80 CIB consoles, controllers, etc Colecovision approx. 80 different titles Intellivision Nearly complete collection, all boxed Odyssey2 consoles 40+ games, many boxed Boxed Power Lords Vectrex 3 consoles cartridges Pong Units & clones Atari Video Pinball (boxed) Atari Pong Doubles(boxed) Atari Super Pong x3 Odyssey original 1972 consoles, boxed various pre-Odyssey 2 pong units Miscellaneous Sega Saturn console & games Sega Master systems, 3D glasses, games SNES Turbo Graf-X consoles & games Genesis consoles & games Nintendo Game & Watches Video game board games Commodore VIC-20 computer cartridges Boxed TI//99 computer & cartridges Weird stuff RCA Studio II consoles & cartridges Fairchild Channel F & games Tomy Tutor & cartridges IBM PC Jr. & cartridges Famicom & cartridges & diskettes Astrocade & cartridges Comodore PET computers Commodore-16 computer & cartridges Apple Lisa computer KIM-I single board computer Chalk Board PowerPad digital tablets, boxed ...and many other items I can't recall at the moment. Everything is up for grabs! If you don't see it, ask. You may be pleasantly surprised. Come early, come often. There will be no bidding. No reasonable offer will be refused, and in many cases I will consider unreasonable offers as well. Sorry about the short notice, but this weekend is your only chance to get these items before, if necessary, I have to put them on eBay on Monday. Everyone who makes it out here this weekend will be entered into a free raffle; I'll be giving away your choice of an Atari 2600, 5200, 7800 or Atari 8bit home computer. Now is your chance to get your Atari system for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinovelvet Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Cool if you can make it! I'll post directions to my house some time tomorrow.Ben Hi Ben, this sounds like a cool sale, I'm about 75 mins away so I will definitely make the trip over there. Are you going to post those directions? I will probably look it up on Mapquest too, but it can't hurt to have an extra set of directions. :wink: And is that a definite 10am on-the-dot start? Don't worry, I'm not gonna show up at 7am or anything, but I also don't want to arrive at 9.50 only to find two Combats and an ET Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitfall Harry Posted March 19, 2004 Author Share Posted March 19, 2004 Traveling on the the 210 FWY (going east from Los Angeles), the Sunflower Exit is approx 6 miles east of the 605 FWY. Take Sunflower south (it's impossible to go north on sunflower from the 210 FWY). Travel south for 3/4 mile and turn right onto Juanita (it will be at the 2nd traffic light you see). My house is the 2nd house on the second block on Juanita. The address is 739 E. Juanita. The Yard sale will actually be held in my garage. Hope to see you there! Yes, it will start at exactly 10. Early comers can wait and enjoy freshly squeezed lemonade and play vid games until then. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hattg Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 I'm only 20 minutes from you and was going to Monrovia anyway, so I will stop by. Always sorry to hear when something happens that makes someone have to get rid of something they really enjoy. See you tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Weis Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 Hey Ben, you might need to call your local police to direct ALL that traffic to your house. sounds like a big block party happening! wish i could be there this weekend. see ya in a couple of weeks...

dinovelvet Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 Well I was at the yard sale today, and all I can say is WOW. TONS of classic and modern games, as far as the eye could see. It took about 90 minutes to look through everything (I'm not kidding- in fact there were still a couple of boxes I didn't get to). Your brain would explode if you saw all this stuff, Ben could open a museum with all this! There were plenty of great deals to be had for all systems. I think I blew over 250 bucks there, and I still wanted to get more stuff! It really was a once-in-a-lifetime kind of sale. If anyone is considering going on Sunday, don't worry, there is still an entire garage full of gaming goodness left, including a lot of rarities. I distinctly remember that Crazy Climber and Qberts Qubes were still unclaimed when I left, as well as literally hundreds of NES, 2600, Intellivision, Colecovision, Sega Master System games. So go check it out if you dare. Bring a ton of money, cuz you WILL want to spend it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homerwannabee Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 Dude this totally bites that you are parting with your collection. I would have been down there today had I known earlier. You are definetly one of my favorite poster's. I hope things work out for you where you will be able to raise the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holygrailvideogames.com Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 Ben, I still haven't heard back from you regarding all of the items that I wish to buy. Please send me a private message. Thanks, Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangest Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 anyone who is close enough and has the time to make it to ben's place simply owes it to themselves to go, for both the treat of seeing so much great stuff all at once and for the incredible deals available for said stuff. along with crazy climber and qubes, halloween and off your rocker and some panda games were still unclaimed when i left. and i now know just how heavy a machine the apple lisa really is...
