Andromeda Stardust Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Okay so I just ordered my AV modded 7800 from Best. I am currently at a loss for sourcing 7800 titles. My local Game-X-Change prices them a generic $1.99 for all Atari games (this also includes Coleco, Intelli, 2600, 5200, 7800, and any other pre-crash consoles). Problem is they rarely get 7800 games in stock. I have searched on eBay for "lots" of 7800 carts. All such game lots I can find have been full of 2600 titles due to backwards compatability, many of which suck or I already own. With NES, SNES, Genesis, I can often buy local or order several games from an online reseller at fair prices. If I buy an individual game on eBay or Amazon, I find it is usually worth the shipping charge. However, most 7800 titles are cheap despite being less common. I have tried my usual sources such as eStarland, DK Oldies, LukieGames, and others and most have very few games available or none at all for the "underdog" consoles. I'm not incredibly picky about condition and typically collect cart only, so I'm willing to buy a game sight unseen. Amazon recently upgraded their shipping charge on marketplace sellers to $4.99. Now I search for 7800 titles I see some of them are $0.01 + the newly upgraded $4.99 s/h. The nice fact about 7800 is that most of the good games are fairly common and cheap, unlike Nintendo. I want to inflate my 7800 collection rapidly but it's painfully obvious that I'm ripping myself off bigtime if I pay shipping ten times for ten $2 titles. Also there's my inquisitive mother. One medium-to-large sized package = a whole lot less grief than 10 small ones, if you catch my drift. If anyone can direct me to an online reseller site who's got a decent sized inventory of loose 7800 titles at reasonable prices, or if a forum member can hook me up, I'd appreciate it. I'm also looking for SMS as well. I don't currently own an SMS but I'm using a converter to play them on Genesis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andromeda Stardust Posted June 14, 2014 Author Share Posted June 14, 2014 atari2600.com great place to buy from and always has a good selection. Most of those are CIB. I know I'm sounding kind of picky here, but I really don't have room for tons of boxes. Yes, exact opposite of most "collectors". I'll look around anyway. Some good stuff to buy; still cheaper than Amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andromeda Stardust Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 Bump. My order from Atari2600.com has not arrived yet. No tracking info or shipping updates in my inbox. I shot them an email a few days ago. No response. It's been two weeks now. How much longer should I wait before I need to start worrying?
