This might make a good pinned topic.
I got to thinking that since there are these huge flea markets out there why not review them and help our fellow Atariagers find some good stuff.
The Flea Markets themselves. Usually the larger ones are open year round despite the weather and often have a large open lot and a large indoor area.
Typically but not always the Outside vendors will have the better selection as the vendors inside have a very static and picked over inventory.
Rating System:
***** (Always guaranteed to find something worthwhile)
**** (Usually will find the Pot-o-Gold at the end of the rainbow)
*** (Will sometimes find something of interest)
** (Neither here nor there, no guarantees)
* (Picked clean and stagnant no variation from the same sellers every week)
If possible post the website (if available) or at least the address so others can find these places.

Why the hate for "phone" controllers?
Sat Jul 16, 2011 7:27 AM
Sometimes when articles are written about classic consoles or "worst" lists are made Atari 5200/Jaguar,Colecovision,Intellivision etc are bashed because of their weird "phone" keyboard style controllers usually by some wet behind the ears snot nose that returns to playing his/her PS3 or 360 after bashing the old weird technology.
Did they ever stop to think that the controller they are using right now is basically the tech that they just bashed? If you look at a PS3/360 controller you got what? 4 d-pad buttons,4 function buttons,2 triggers, 2 buttons above the triggers, 2 thumbsticks and 3 buttons in the center for a total of about 17 buttons and they are griping about the old controllers??
