shining slade Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 This almost gave me a Joygasm! Looky what I found in the wild today : Motocross Racer- single end $7.50 Mint Label Sir Lancelot- single end $17.50 Mint Label Exocet $5 Space Canyon $5 Stuntman $5 Stargunner-color label handle cart $10 Near Mint label Cosmic Commuter $5 Near Mint Label Skeet Shoot $5 Excellent Label Tax Avoiders $5 Near Mint Label & numerous other 3rd party carts ranging in price from $3-$20 each I only bought Motocross Racer & Stargunner today. They are holding the rest for me It kind of sucks with the prices being so strangely out of whack. They had a Raft Rider cart marked at $30!

Susuwatari Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 That Motocross label is in better shape than my single ended Motocross cart. Any chance we could trade your mint label for my spotty label? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spongebue Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Why can't I even find a freaking combat cart in the thrifts anymore? Oh well, I guess there's always another gaming store I go to that always has atari stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinball22 Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Wow... I'm so jealous! That Stargunner label is prettier than the one I paid like $40 for. *sigh* Was this a thrift/pawn find, or a game store? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATARIPITBULL Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 Very nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! there was a time when the comic book store next to my house sold Atari items, but nothing to right home about (ET, Pac-Man & Asteroids out the ass), then one day out of the blue, some one bought the whole lot and the owner told me he is not selling video game stuff any more.

shining slade Posted July 17, 2004 Author Share Posted July 17, 2004 Here is the rest of the motherload! I'm going back again too, they have more carts they're going to be putting out FS soon. Among them are Threshold, Spacemaster X7, Montezuma's Revenge, to name a few. I really cannot believe that I hit this goldmine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homerwannabee Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 That's strange you were able to get rare games like that for those prices. Either 1) A person has no idea of the value of these games so they will sell them to you for a buck a piece or 2)The person knows the value of these games and will jack up the prices. this guy seems to know the value of these games and is selling them at a very cheap price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Panda carts were cheap at $5 a pop. They have a lot of games available but the prices really vary. An Eggomania is marked $22.50 All of the Sesame street carts are $10 apiece, yet he has these other carts that I grabbed rediculously low for their value. If anyone wants anything specifically LMK I can pick up some stuff for you. They've got everything from The Earth Dies Screaming to most of the US Games titles, lots of Activision carts. A lot of the more common stuff is priced at $1-$5 apiece. They have 2 Pooyans at $8.75 apiece. LMK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egdinger Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Earth dies screaming? How much is it? I might be interested in having you pick it up for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
