atari70s Posted September 8, 2001 Share Posted September 8, 2001 I got a problem now i got too much stuff of atari in my room. since im young an 18 i cant afford my own palce but i have moved my systems to the basement ( minus teh boxed ones so 3 or 4 still up here) and i got all 590 atari game carts up here. i got all 3 volumes of my manuals up here and almost 100 game cart boxes up here. i got 2 moniters a PC with printer a Tv and i see small cracks on the walls so i think too much wieght up here what should i move and how? Yet ill ask this Question HOW SHOULD I STORE MY ITEMS. not so much in little baggies but in the sense of to lessen the weight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berzerk Posted September 8, 2001 Share Posted September 8, 2001 No offense at all here, but I just can't imagine someone 18 yr old getting into classic(atari) games that much. Just out of curiousity, what got you into it? I think it's pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari70s Posted September 8, 2001 Author Share Posted September 8, 2001 OK bigger problem since talking to dad about this He says since i need the room i shoudl start paying rent . and since i dont have the money for it he says i tehn need to sell my collection of games.
