AtariAger Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 May I have directions to this Flea Market please!!!?... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gateway Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 Apologies from me, to mlcarm02 for my cynical response at first. Those items look legit to me. Congrats on a nice score! You don't have to be specific, but what region are you in? Canada? West USA? East? South? I assume these are NTSC items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindfield Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 I usually stay outta these kinda posts until either it's proven one way or the other, or the debate gets interesting. Now that we've established validity, all I gotta say is whoa, mama! That's some nice haul there, bub. 3 R9s (one boxed!) in one haul. That's a piece out of a reef store dream... So, uh ... Christmas is coming up ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holygrailvideogames.com Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 Nice score. If you are thinking of selling I would recommend waiting. Atari prices are way down right now. You might be able to get a lot more money in about 2-3 months when everyone is getting their tax refunds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy the Atarian Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 Man that is a very, very cool find. Only in my wildest dreams could I come across something like that. Now I want to go out and look at all the local thrift stores and flea markets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gateway Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 @Shaggy: Hey, what area of Utah are you in? I'm in the Utah valley. Thrifts around here have been dry for a long time, with only the occasional scarce item showing up. It's been several months now since I got lucky and found a loose River Raid 2 for my 2600. That may have been my last great find ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philflound Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 Master Builder shows up in PAL form quite often, especially from Europe. I had some ties with a German seller for awhile, but my funds ran out. He always had a MB on the list, and I purchased 2 from him, but he made it known it was PAL. My skepticism was proved wrong this time. I still remain hesitant on new posters claiming they have rare stuff for the reasons mentioned earlier.

Cootster Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 Um, those Master Builders are PAL . . . Note "Spectravideo" as opposed to "Spectravision" . . . But, to the best of my knowledge, AH games are NTSC-only (and couldn't be that common in either format anyway), and I think the same is true of the Tron doublepack w/ the stick (although not the individual games).

I'm in the West Valley area and it's been pretty dry for me as well, (with some great exceptions) the last Atari related thing I found was Dodge 'Em, Haunted House, and a label-less Parker Bros. cart that turned out to be the long sought after Frogger I've heard about some place in Salt Lake called Fun Unlimited that still carries some Atari games but I've never been by there to check it out. It seems like a few years back I could almost always find something at the DI but then it suddenly dried up. But since I found that Shinobi arcade at my local DI a few months ago I've been more optimistic about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 man thats sweet. brings up old anger about my mom making me throw away my tron jstick box. at least i still have two of the controllers tho... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YOK-dfa Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Um, those Master Builders are PAL . . . Note "Spectravideo" as opposed to "Spectravision" . . . Not necessarly. AFAIK that is not a reliable indication of NTSC-PAL. PAL carts can have Spectravideo or Spectravision... I assume that would also apply to NTSC carts...
