Hey, everyone -- I was poking around a local thrift store today and came across some Arcadia 2001 carts and C64 power supplies. The carts were priced at $7.50 each (there were maybe 6-8 of them), but I couldn't find a price on the power supplies.

Is anyone interested in any of this stuff? I might be able to arrange to pick it up and send it along.

If you let me know what carts they were, i'd be interested, specifically if they had tanks a lot.

Carts loose or boxed? Titles? You know, pix would be best. $7.50 is a lot for a thrift if loose. Hitachi, if you are into Arcadia in general, PM me, as I have some spare.

Boxed, don't recall the titles. The boxes looked pretty sharp, as I recall (this place was huge, and I don't remember half the stuff I looked at). I'm gonna be compiling a list for Hitachi this Saturday if they're open.

I would be interested in the C64 power supplies if shipping cost was not prohibitive.

It might be a while until I can get a price quote on them. They were untagged, so I need to leave a message for the booth owner. I'll pass along the info as soon as I get it.

OK, stopped back to the Thrift store/Antiques mall today. The C64 PSU's were nowhere to be found, so I'm not likely to be able to get those.

As far as the Arcadia carts go, all are boxed, and all are tagged at $7.50 each. The list is as follows:

Escape
Jungler
Tanks a Lot
Space Attack
Cat Trax
3D Bowling
Baseball
Space Raiders


Now for the bad news. I will not be able to make it back to this store until the beginning of October at the earliest. This means that the goods may not be available the next time I'm there.

I will be happy to provide the store's email, phone, website, and mailing address, as well as the dealer # for anyone who may wish to contact them independently about arranging to purchase them and have them shipped.
