Donor carts aplenty

They're multiplying!

I think this should be enough to hold me for a little bit. AtariAge user masschamber sent me some lovely donor cartridges. Before you panic and think that I am crazy for using a copy of Alien Invasion, let me say that the cart is broken. I tried it and it didn't work at all.

I went to the Wal-Mart. They had a bunch of Halloween stuff. I had most of it already (what happens when you have a jack-o-lantern collection). They had an arcade machine I wanted. It was $300. So I didn't get it. What I did get though were 4 glass bottles of strawberry Crush. A neat little item. I have yet to try them, I got home about 45 minutes ago and they're in the fridge.

I guess this perhaps makes mine the second-biggest Channel F cartridges collection (if you count my 15 or so cartridge collection and the multicart) right behind e5frog. But these few dozen are meant to be sold and mailed out when the time comes.

Here I thought I was the only one being smart.

Instead of buying brand new cases I just recycle old Coleco Carts in lots and try to make the best deals possible.
I go through what has the worst cases as far as labels and set the good ones aside.

I just picked up some 25 Donkey Kong with the labels literally falling off for around $30.
So one trip into the dish washer and they are brand new for my own projects.
