Ze_ro Posted December 8, 2001 Share Posted December 8, 2001 Damn... that sucks... luckily, you can find Lynx's on eBay for relatively cheap. I got mine for only $40, which I consider a pretty good deal. --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Atari Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 That's better than what I find. Thrifting had been unusually dry lately, I've seen plenty of commons, but nothing worth getting excited about. However, I've been finding a load of NES games lately, so that's cool, would like to get some new 2600 stuff, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 I hit a relative jackpot today! I grabbed Seaquest, Vanguard, Dig Dug, Phoenix, and Stampede (but its currently not working ) May not sound like much to you, but for me this is treasure. There were also a few other games I might go back and get on Monday!!! Wahoo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari-Jess Posted December 9, 2001 Author Share Posted December 9, 2001 i still feel awful about not finding that lynx 2 days after it happened. I really do want that lynx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattG/Snyper2099 Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 Yeah, I see that "empty package" thing at a lot of thrifts in my area too. Damn thieves! Anyway, I did find a 2600 jr. with about 20 games yesterday for $15 but nothing I needed and ALL were common as hell. It came with an authentic 2600 power supply though so that was a plus. I found a super dodge ball for nes too ($2). A ood day if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
