MichaelJMcKernan Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 I'm thinking of doing this, and I was wondering any has and what the response was like? I'm thinking it could be a goldmine or it could be CRAP. I'm also thinking I'm writing "I'm thinking" too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariDude Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 I am thinking that you are right about writing "I am thinking" too much Actually I believe some people have done what you have suggested as well as putting signs in company lunch rooms and they have gotten some responses. I have not tried it yet myself to see if it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Monkey Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 I haven't, but I have thought about it too. Someone locally had an add in the paper some months ago... and it might have been "DaveAtari"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 Yes I have, and I got flooded with calls from people who wanted to sell their copies of Pac-man and ET. It does work, but you will get inundated with commons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelJMcKernan Posted September 12, 2003 Author Share Posted September 12, 2003 Commons and common systems would be fine...I"m thinking of writing the following. Wanted: Home video game systems and games. Atari, Intellivision, Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Super Nintendo. Call 1-976-Hot-Mike I dunno, I'm thinking I might land something cool this way too.

Albert Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 Alex did this once (probably more than once), and was greeted with the following message on his answering machine one day: Pancake Boy Definitely worth listening to if you never have. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xot Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 That is one of the strangest things I have ever heard. Did Alex even KNOW this guy?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad2600 Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 Xot, I called up that dude you told me about and I'm gonna go over to his place tmw and check out his Atari stuff. He claims to have Defender II and several other games. He even told me that he'd take $9 each for boxed games..but if I wanted to buy 25 of 'em that it' would be $25. Kinda confusing. I'll just see what he's got. He claims to have over 250 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelJMcKernan Posted September 12, 2003 Author Share Posted September 12, 2003 Man, so that's the kind of stuff I can be expecting. WOW! If I could only get a copy of Pancake Boy or Snapperoo myself, boy would I be jamming. I could have done without the dude's talk about regularity. Hopefully, something equally as retarded will happen to me in my adventure. I'm thinking about asking for Arcade Cabinets too...see what happens.

I bought about $300 of stuff off of him for $75, including a few mid-to-rares like Video Cube, Oink!, Pigs in Space, and Crackpots. Good luck, but hold your breath!!

Brad2600 Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 As I said in PM, I don't have cash on me now. But come Monday, I'll have some. I'll see if he'll hold onto whatever he has until I can pay up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
