Centerice19 Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 I just got back from a local flea market/antique show close to me. And i have some good news!! While my mom and i were looking at some tables outside, i saw a Atari 2600 Box, and i just stopped, cuz this was the first time for me ever to see atari stuff in the wild. So i poked my mom and said, "look," lol it was funny.... but yea, so i look in it, and theres a stack of games on the stop, so i take the box of the table and look through it quickly and i see some games, a holder for the games, and the system. Then my mom said 30, and im like what? Then she was like Its $30. Im like crap. So i say well maybe he'll go lower. But my mom said, we'll come back later and ask. (They also had a sega genesis system and controllers for $10, and then a NES controller, im not sure how much) Later, while we were walking towards his table to go to the restrooms, i see he's packing up, and i like run over there to see if its still there. It was there, but it was pilled up with some other boxes. So i quick asked him what he'd take. He said 30. So i asked if he'd go lower, and he said he'd take $25. So i said ill pass. So then me and my mom walked to the restrooms which were close to his table, and then i hear him yell, "ill take 20." My mom told me to ask him if he'd take $15, because that was my set price in my head. So i asked him, and he said,"Ahh...ok, for you, i will." So thats right! I got it for $15!!! Heres what was inside--- The 2600 box, which is in pretty good condition 4 switch 2600 woody system, with all hookups in great condition A M network booklet Atari Catalog Booklet Game holder for 12 games Centipede Football Donkey Kong Basketball Vanguard Ms. Pac Man Jungle Hunt Popeye London Blitz Maze Craze Baseball Frogs and Flies Tron Deadly Discs All these games are in awesome condition too! Im not sure if any of theses are on the rarer side, i still gotta look them up. I also got some TI Home Computer Command Module cartridges- Munch Man The Attack Anyone know anything about these 2? I know to some of you, this might not be the best deal. But for $15, to me, its pretty good i guess. Its also my first find in the wild, so im pretty excited I can post pics if anyone wants some. Later!! Megan P.S- if anyone has any info on the TI games or the 2600 games, that'd be great, cuz i dont recognize some of the 2600 titles...

jetset Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 Nice find! Those are all common carts with the exception of London Blitz. Still a good deal for $15 bucks! Congrats! :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonesome_pa Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 Munch Man is a very fun Pac-Man clone. The Attack, I believe is a space invaders type game, but I don't have this one and I've been looking for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickybaby Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 Congrats!!! 15$ was an awesome price ( I woulda gone for $20 even) especially since you got a holder for the games too and boxed. I don't have Jungle Hunt or the London Blitz and if the games are in great shape you have me beat on Maze Craze as well - mine is missing an end label.

Brad2600 Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 Good find, centerice! I still need London Blitz so you did get a good deal there! I am hoping to hit the flea markets around here soon myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLeaf Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 Very nice. Congrats. Nothing beats the feeling of making a really great wild find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spongebue Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 Where is this flea market anyway? I've honestly never seen one in the MN area, except for an ad for an indoor one in Hinckley... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 Munch Man is a very fun Pac-Man clone. The Attack, I believe is a space invaders type game, but I don't have this one and I've been looking for one.That would be TI Invaders. The Attack is a fairly unique game. There's a bunch of alien space spores on the screen. That combine into aliens. That eat you. So you have to shoot the spores. And the aliens. There's also black boxes with timers on them. When the timer hits 0, they become spores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holygrailvideogames.com Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 It sounds like you got a great deal. London Blitz alone is worth $15. I have about 300 Atari 2600 titles and I still don't have Tron Deadly Discs so to me that isn't the easiest title to get either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liveinabin Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 Awesome haul for $15. Well done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centerice19 Posted June 14, 2004 Author Share Posted June 14, 2004 Man, i didnt think it would be such a good deal. I was just hopeing that some of the games were a lil rarer, or at least not common, because i havent heard of some of them. But sweet! lol. Spongebue, check ur PM's. Well i cant wait til i go flea marketing next weekend, if there even is any, lol. Thanks again everyone!! Megan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saikyo Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 Nice find with London Blitz there! 30 was wayyy too much, 15 however was a bargain great one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintagegamefanatic Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Right now there is a london blitz on ebay with no bids for 25.00, it is the only one I could find there including completed auctions so it must be a pretty rare title Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawgWyld Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 You know, considering you got a system and games, even $30 wouldn't have been bad (especially since Tron Deadly Discs and London Blitz were in there). So, getting that for $15 was an absolute steal. Congratulations! Ah, isn't collecting fun? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centerice19 Posted June 17, 2004 Author Share Posted June 17, 2004 I noticed there wasnt many london blitz auctions also, so sweet, im happy/ier now! lol well im off to searching for auctions and ads in the paper! so ill talk to u guys lata!!!
