    I have been selling some of my MIB games lately, but it is because I need the money. I have been out of work for 2 months, so I think that some of the people that are selling are in the same situation as me. Most are just out to make money off the hard core collectors. I wish I could have kept my collection (it was getting to be GREAT), but it's too late now. I will be putting some more stuff on E-Bay soon.

    Thanks,

    Hi all,

    This is a cheap ad for my E-Bay auctions. I'm getting rid of all Atari and some excess Nintendo stuff. I have 12 boxed complete gate fold games (6 Sears and 6 Atari) on auction. I have a boxed Cosmic Swarm with instructions for sale. I will take offers here until Thursday, then it will be put on E-bay. You can see the box here on Atari Age in the game guide.

    CPUWIZ,

    I took a scrub top(that belongs to the wife) and cut it up into small strips about the size of the contact and slide it in a few times, then I put some alcohol on it and put it in a few more times.................... IT WORKED!!!! So if you are having trouble getting some carts to play, do like CPUWIZ said and you'll be on your way playing in no time. Just make sure that the cloth is something very very thin.

    Thanks again CPUWIZ,

    I am trying to clean the paddles, and the metheod using the contact cleaner is working very good. The first set that I did was jumping all the way across the screen. I took them outside, sprayed a good amount in them, and turned them about 7 or 8 times, resprayed them, and then blowed them out and let dry. The part of this that is important to remember is to turn them several times. It looks like it going to work pretty good. The idea about the scratch pad won't work on Atari. The slot is too narrow to get one in it and be able to put a little pressure on it. I have heard of using sand paper, but I'm afraid that will take too much of the contacts off. Has anybody ever took the box off of the cart slot? I'm wondering if it's worth taking it apart to get to it better.

    I have tried to clean the cartridge slot, but I can,t find anything that will fit in it. What do you use? These started acting funny after I sprayed the contact cleaner in them. Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I was getting some of my Atari 2600 carts ready for sale yesterday. I had a Black 4 switch and a wood grain 4 switch. I tested about 50 carts on the woody, with about half did not work with it, so I cleaned them again. I get the black one out and test the carts that wouldn't work on the woody, What do you know, all of them worked but about 3. The carts won't work but with one system or the other. Has anybody else had this problem?I'm kinda afraid to to sell these without put "AS IS", but I hate to do that, because that will cost me some bids.

    Hi Cassidy,

    I think that a pawn shop near me has one made by Activision, and I think it has 128. I read the package and I think it had nothing but Atari games on it. It looks to be brand new and the price was some where around $20.00. Please let me know if you are interested.

    Sorry to hear that Phil. I hope they turn up. I will be selling about 10 Atari 2600 systems, and about 300 games. The only problem that I'm having is that just about all of the joysticks that came with these systems don't work. I need to find a bunch of them.

    Thanks for the replies

    I must agree with Phil. All of my cart only auctions are done with my $125 Memorex scanner. The only problem is if you have a bunch of games in one auction. I can only get 6 carts on my scanner at a time. Here is a link to some auctions where I used the scanner: http://cgi6.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?...&page=1&rows=25 . A good tip is to find some cardboard with one white side that is a little bit bigger than your scanner, With a cart on the scanner the lid might not close good, just put the cardboard on top of the cart. Hope this helps,

    Tony
