It's that time of year again! We've gone the past two years and it's been pretty fun. Seems to get a little bigger every year. Certainly worth the $10 if you are in the area.

Silly topic, but while looking over my games, I noticed this. The end label for E.T. seems to be the only game that Atari published that has an actual trademarked logo. Most other games just used the standard text, even Raiders of the Lost Ark, and a few have non-standard text like Stargate.

Am I missing any others? Again, I'm talking about Atari published games only. Obviously, there are many other games from other publishers.

NOTE: I'm taking the advice and pulling the ad for now and will rework it and repost it soon. I'll update if anything comes of it. Thanks

Over the past couple of years, I've done pretty well buying and selling various items on CL, most, but not all video game related. Hell, I once sold a tuba for $750! Anyway, it seems that for the most part good stuff just doesn't come up like it used to, and selling anything is becoming a futile effort.

For example, I've had THIS ATARI 2600 LOT on there on and off for months and barely a nibble. Read the posting from the point of view of a non-collector and I don't think it's a crazy price for everything included. I usually don't go quite that high, but smaller sets were selling pretty easily so I thought I'd give it a shot. I know there isn't anything rare in there, but a gamer just looking to get back into it won't care, they just wan't fun games right? I guess I could put some more games in there, but I don't know if it would help.

It's not just this listing either, others have been just as bad. I almost sold an Intellivision and an Atari to the same girl, but then for no reason she pulled out and won't answer my emails. Another jerk was going to buy an item from me, then when we met up, he tried to tell me that we agreed to $100 when we really agreed to $130. That's why I try to do everything over email, which came in handy when I pulled out my Iphone and showed him the conversation! Of course, I lost the sale, but $30 is $30 you know?

What do you guys think? Any CL sellers hitting the same slump?

Thinking about getting a different tube TV for my game room as I've never been very happy with the 32" Toshiba that I have now.

Thought about getting a Sony 32" that has component inputs, but I've come to understand that some of the most recent models don't work with light guns. Something about it being 100hz? How would I know if a particular TV would work or not without testing it? I have like 6 or 7 systems that use light guns to some extent, and I'm not willing to give that up for a slightly better picture!

I know it's a little rough getting through it at first, but if you can hang on until 1:16 you will see what I'm talking about.






I'm sure for the 35+ crowd, we remember Sheena as being quite the hottie, especially a little later in her career.
