OldSchoolRetroGamer Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Atariage is not a charity foundation and this is not a good way to introduce yourself to any forums, first impression and all that........ 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinks Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 You dont have 20 bucks plus shipping to find one? There seriously is craploads of them for sale everywhere on the WWW. You want to collect retro games/systems its gonna cost some money. Are you one of those guys that figure they can go thru life asking for people to just simply give you everything you want? Lemme guess your 23? Sweet like epic wow!! I know post a whine story on cragslist for a sugar daddy to have his way with you for one.. whoops I totally called you out on your backup plan didnt I? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubxcube Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Oddly enough, I got my Vader off craigslist for free.. Originally going to be 35 bucks, but the owner couldn't get it to work on her HDTV because "the plugs didn't seem to fit"... So she gave it to me for free thinking it was broken. So, there's that... Good luck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+LS650 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 As long as we're giving away free game systems, can some nice person give me an Entex Adventurevision..? That would be so cool, and thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Gemintronic Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Holy crow!!! I'm nothing to you guys!!!!!! Anyway here is what i have N64 NES Game Gear (i got for free ) Master System PS1 PS2(i got for free ) Xbox 360 (bad condition ) Xbox (from value village for $25. Was modded and had 51 built-in games! ) Game Cube Game Boy Advance SP Yeah im thinking of getting a few more say the Neo Geo CD , Virtual Boy , Atari 2600 , 5200 , 800 , 7800 , and Lynx , as well as the Genesis and Magnavox Odyssey. When asking for handouts it helps not to immediately brag about how stingy you are. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecrypticodor Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) To think this whole time I didn't have to spend a dime on any of my collection. All I had to do was go on forums and beg for free stuff like this kid. Edited January 31, 2014 by thecrypticodor 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gemintronic Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I really don't like this trend of people coming in and assuming the Atari 2600 is a worthless giveaway and thus it's developers and enthusiasts too. We're not even worthy of an explanation why we should give our young friend a free classic gaming system (and games). I recently gave an N64 and 5 games away. Why? It was given to a kid stuck on a dialysis machine for half the day - stuck in a room with a broken Xbox 360. It's the "why" that makes all the difference. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickeycolumbus Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I imagine the OP will log in at some point and get very excited after seeing that their thread has blown up with responses, only to realize that they made a fool out of themselves. Hopefully it will be a learning experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

English Invader Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 This situation isn't particularly unique. There are a lot of people on the forums and on eBay who expect things for nothing or for very little money and there seems to be very little regard for the amount of work involved in selling things online. I remember a while back when I was trying to sell some common items. An item came back unsold with a starting bid of £12.50 shipped and I received a PM from someone offering to buy the item for £10 shipped (the £12.50 covered the P&P, eBay fees and a little bit for my trouble). I thought to myself: "I recieve about a third of this money and you begrudge me a few quid for taking the photos, packaging the item and taking it to the Post Office?" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keatah Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I need a part for a Disk II drive I'm repairing, will someone take theirs apart and let me pick the part I need? For free? Please post a picture and I'll point out exactly what you're to send to me. You gotta understand, I can't get to the stash of Apple II material I have because it's simply too much and neatly packed and it would take too long to unpack everything. Besides I don't want to scavenge from a NIB MIB CIB unit. That would be a shame to make one of those in-op. Surely you can appreciate that! Buried amongst the HUGE MOUNTAIN of Apple II paraphernalia is an old H6'r no doubt. Since it's been there for many years, and I'm not using it, I can give it away. And not really miss it. I do 90% classic gaming through emulation. The VCS is totally absolutely free to anyone that wants to fund a search & recover expedition. A breakdown of how the funds would be distributed: 1- Hazmat work gloves 2- Bug spray 3- Shovel 4- Hired help to move the material around. 5- Paper, pen, GPS, compass, to help me navigate through pile-o-stuff. 6- Time on site, food, water, supplies. 7- 3rd party to rate and grade the quality of recovered material. 8- City permit 9- DSLR to document and record acitivities. 10- Misc items not mentioned.
