dykesr Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 HOw and where in the heck did you find such a great item? RD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari-Jess Posted May 23, 2004 Author Share Posted May 23, 2004 So I was hunting (for atari stuff) around the northern woods of central Ontario. And suddenly I come across a hidden village of stores all filled with old, useless, and interesting things. I dug around past the boxes of adult magazines and national geographics and then suddenly I came upon a black cartridge with a handle. Upon seeing the handle I suddenly freaked, RARE! it couldn't be! I carefully flipped it over and lo and behold there she was, a K-tel original. While this was the only atari cartridge in sight (there were several intellivision carts, bleh) I did manage to secure a funtastic 7800. There was a 2600jr for $18 . It made no sense to me at the time and it never will. But I made off like a bandit (a paying bandit of course) and was very pleased with the awesome bounty I had secured.

birdie3 Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 Where aboots in Canada are you my friend? Was that a Value Village by chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari-Jess Posted May 23, 2004 Author Share Posted May 23, 2004 It was some small antique store out in the boonies actually. I've had terrible luck finding anything Atari in value villages they've become very overpriced.... 15 dollars for an NES controller!!!

Atari-Jess Posted May 23, 2004 Author Share Posted May 23, 2004 since I cant seem to edit posts.... as I said, I'm in Central Ontario, south of Muskoka, north of Toronto terribly rural in most places save for a few decent sized urban centres. I often forget to go to the cgcc. I'm rather forgetful as I'm so busy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mindfield Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 Holy crap... I've got a vulture attack arriving in a couple of days, but I paid a hell of a lot more than that for it. :-) Damn nice find, Jess. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdie3 Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 I found a Vulture Attack manual a while back and traded it to someone on here. I had like 10 PM's the second I announced I had found it. I ended up trading it for some XL/XE carts. The best "useless piece of paper" trade I ever made!! I know one thing is for sure... free is about the only way I would ever want to acquire a cart of that level of rarity. What does this cart sell for these days??

Atari-Jess Posted May 24, 2004 Author Share Posted May 24, 2004 As soon as I get my cameras mini usb cable back on my computer, I'll share photos, which reminds me I got a "broken" lynx for 2 dollars! the video cable was loose, I finally have a lynx! after almost two years of having games + case and no lynx to play! Im so pleased! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know one thing is for sure... free is about the only way I would ever want to acquire a cart of that level of rarity. What does this cart sell for these days?? That manual would have been sweet. This is pretty average for Vulture Attack. I got lucky and scored mine for about half that when no one was looking. I got a "broken" lynx for 2 dollars! You can get those regularily on eBay. He's always got those up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mock Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 yeah but he said his broken lynx wasn't really broken...just a video cable loose...so thats a steal...$2 for a working lynx? i'd take it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whisper Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 I got a nice haul of mostly PAL carts recently. I got the commons mostly for 1 euro a piece and the Nuts cart cost me a bit more I also traded a really cool V-Case NTSC 4in1 (Freeway, Bowling, Tennis, Fishing) pirate cart for a double NTSC Pitfall I had. I have a weak spot for pirate carts with switches Pictures included. It's great being a starting collector, so many games to find cheap that you don't have yet!
