It is amazing how the CC3 was on sale for years.......people think they have forever to get one.....then it sells out and they are kicking themselves.....
If you see it..and want it..buy it..
$150 is a big pill to swallow for some folks. Especially if they think they have plenty of time to get it when they are eventually liquid.

Great day at the flea market today. I'm not going to itemize everything, but here's the overall haul, from more than a dozen different vendors:
- 14 PlayStation games, all CIB and relatively common, mostly very clean
- 6 VCS games, loose, inc. Bump 'n' Jump, Flag Capture picture label (!)
- 4 N64 games, all loose carts, inc. Mario Party 2 & 3 (!) and Super Smash Bros.
- 2 CIB Dreamcast games (The Grinch & Wetrix+)
- 1 CV game (Mouse Trap), 1 SNES game (Mecarobot Golf
), 1 CIB Genesis game (Zoop) and one manual (Technocop), 1 GB game (Bart vs. the Juggernauts)
- pink Konami Justifier gun (!!!)
- Atari Force comic #1
- Pink Floyd Obscured By Clouds remastered CD (squeaky-clean disc)
- TI-99/4A with power supply, speech synthesizer and 12 games including Parsec (getting this fulfills a childhood dream, assuming it all works -- fingers crossed)
- Intellivision ECS, including power supply and keyboard, with three random loose carts (my reaction to seeing this was almost identical to Gandalf's reaction in the first LOTR movie when Bilbo disappears)
Total cost for everything was about $125. The only downside was being in humid 80+ degree weather for five hours, which ultimately gave me a migraine that I slept off this evening. I haven't tested much of it yet, but the ECS works perfectly!

It stuns me how often TI stuff appears in these posts. I've never seen any in the wild that I recall... ever. Even in the 80's and 90's when I was pioneering the thrifting and yardsaling for games.
