That's definitely not a bad batch of games for $5. I'd probably pass out if I saw that collection of games together here in Austin.

Even if you already have some of those items, there's good tradebait in there. For instance, you don't really run across that many Sears titles, so you may be able to trade those for other Sears titles you don't yet have. White label Intellivision carts are uncommon, and always good for trading with fellow Intellivision collectors. And there are some Atarisoft titles for the TI that aren't so easy to get, but I don't remember if Protector falls into that category. I presume the "Unknown" is that way because the label is missing?

Well, here is my morning outting take-in. I spent 20 bucks at the game store. They finally busted out that "special box" they had been hidding.

Shootin Gallery
Fire Fly
Wabbit (2)
Space Cavern (2 red/blue) OOPS!
Flash Gorden (2)
Coconuts
Kool Aid Man
Worm War 1 (2)
Defender II
Encounter at L-5
Food Fight (7800)
Mash (5)
Mario Bros

I didn't buy all those extra copies just so you know. I thought it was decent haul. But I will be hard pressed to see another batch like that around here. It is a sad World.

Nice take for 20 bucks, just remember, someday there will not be any more EXTRA carts

[monster angriff]

Anyone think I should go back, get the extras and cash in on ebay?

[CaliColts]

Well, if you do, maybe we could trade or something for Flash Gordon and Worm War, provided they are in good shape, I need better copies of those two.

[ATARIPITBULL]

The way that the prices on ebay are going up for Atari items you might be able to sell your lot for about 4 times the amount you paid for them.

[Lemmi]

If you do go back and they still have extras of wabbit and a blue space Cavern (i have the red one and the label isnt to good) i would gladly pay you for them

[Lemmi]

Shhhh pitbull im needing some of them

and i dont use ebay

[monster angriff]

Well, Lemmi. The store hasn't put them out yet and I have the extra copy of Wabbit right now. I also bought the blue copy of Space Cavern. They had two more copies of Space Cavern Red in very good condition and a decent Mario Bros. I kept one Worm War for myself but I can the other copy. the end label is a bit scratched (not too bad though) and the Flash Gordon was a bit scratched on the end but just on the label bend. If you want to make a deal they sell them to me for 1.95 a pop. So if anyone wants these games tell me now, they won't be behind counters for long. The store is putting them out sometime this week. I could grab some Mash copies if you need them too. Anyone want em. Name a price and their yours! I promise I won't charge you six bucks a game. (oh yeah they had GI Joe grey label but my friend bought it) It was a good day that I won't seefor a long time here.

Monster - check your PM's

[King Asmo]

If you're interested, I could use some of those titles in would be interested in trading, so you could fill some holes in your collection. I normally trade one-for-one based on rarity.. so we could exchange a game with a rarity of 3 for another game with a rarity of 3. So let me know if there are any games in particular you're looking for, and we can work something out.

Cheers,

KA
