Atari Age still buying Common Carts?

[oleanhosting]

If they are I got 67 to sell them. I have done this before but now I cannot find the link. I will accept store credit if that is possible

I would PM Albert personally and see if he is still doing this, if I were you.

I wish you had gotten a hold of me! With less than 100 carts in my collection, I'm always looking for people selling common ones cheap to flesh out my own collection!

That was the thinking I had when I put out a commons bin at 6 for $5 at AGE 2003. I sold quite a few commons that way.

 

What's amusing is that I'm more likely to want a silver label, because for demo (rather than production) carts, I want the no-spring shells. In production carts, the EPROMs get soldered down and there's no clearance problem. But I need them socketed so I can re-use the boards. With a round-pin IC socket, there's just enough clearance to fit a typical EPROM in a no-spring shell.

Hmmmm ... I'm just trying to fill out my collection because, well ... I like playing Atari

 

For some reason, my VCS likes the spring shell carts more than the non-spring shell ones. They just seem to fit better and I can't figure out why.

Bruce,

 

If you (or anybody) needs non-spring cases, PM me. I have two boxes (like 200+ total) 7800 Ball Blazer cases. They were all brand new from Oshea, opened and stripped (Pokeys!), then packed back up. Labels all fall off with some heat, and the cases are brand new.

If anyone wants some the carts, they are mostly the very common ones that I have 10 or more of. Carts are Combat, Missle Command, Defender, Asteroids, etc.

I actually just got my Atari with only 5 games with it. If you have some commons you're willing to part with cheap, I would possibly pick up a few (wife allowing ) Just let me know what you've got, chances are the only common one I've got is Asteroids.

 

To think, I went from 30+ games in the day to 5. Oh well, you gotta start somewhere!
