    Hey BF, stunt cycle is a dedicated console and has 4 built in games, stunt cycle, motocross, drag race, enduro, a difficulty switch and volume control switch. You twist back on the handle bars just like a real motorcycle, the harder you twist the faster you go until if you twist full trottle you do a wheelie, which you have to perform to get over certain obsticles, it is very fun, i just got both of these and have been playing for two days now!! :D

    Well to answer a few of your questions, I will be selling tons of stuff even though alot of the stuff in these pics are stuff I bought this month for my personal collection.

    --The Atari's are just the factory refurb units, nothing else with them, I wish they were heavy sixers but they are all 4 switch and look brand spankin new!

    --HH I bet if you would have been around or several others that they would have gone much higher, i am very surprised they didnt.

    --AL, I have spent the past year with a real flexable work schedule, I work with my dad in real estate and there are about 25 places within a 100 mile radious that i hit most of them like twice a week some 3 or 4 times a week as I am out looking at real estate, I travel to florida, nashville, alabama, mississippi, texas on a fairly regular basis and hit everyplace I see!!

    And I have maybe 15 people in like 8 states that I eighther have known for years or have just met over the past year that i have been collecting, that are into flea markets, thrift stores, pawn shops, garage sales, buying storage building auctions, that I have cultivated into calling me on a weekly basis with stuff they find for me that they know nothing about and sell to me really quite cheap.

    Then I also buy stuff on ebay and yahoo and from some other collectors and you guys here at AA, And i have had news paper and thrifty nickol ads in 2 states at one time, so thats how i do it I WORK THE CRAP OUT OF IT, and spend too much money and have a good bit of debt because of it. Sometimes I spend a good bit on some things but I would say 75% of the stuff I find I get for like $5 a system and $1 or less per game and accessory and sometimes less because i buy so much at one time from most people.

    Anyone could do it if they worked that hard at it and had a little cash to throw around at the right people at the right time!! I hope that helps a little, If you guys get tired of me posting pics of the stuff I get just say and i will stop, i just love to show and share the stuff I find, and i love to see pics of stuff from all you guys I know you guys have and find and buy more stuff you could post pics of, alot of you just dont do it. Anyway sorry this was so long!! :D

    I am a little late posting these being its half way through april but here we go again with some pics of the stuff I found and bought at all the normal places. I got a hold of so much stuff I had to do the pics in groups of 4 cause thier were so many, so I hope this turns out right. Please be patient because there are 11 sets of four pictures in 3 different posts if that makes sence to anyone :? They should speak for themselves as to what they are but feel free to ask questions. :D The last 2 sets of pics are of 5 Atari Factory Dealer Refurbs all Very Very Mint all boxed and in the original shipping box which is a little tattered but says in the front top left corner "Atari US Corp 390 Carribean dr Sunneyvale CA 94806" and the shipping label has the return address Atari's phone # and the date 11/19/84!!

    I posted this in pov's thread a few weeks ago but I forgot to ask on this occation, you can bet I havent missed asking 1 time since. This was a very mint CIB heavy 6er, luckilly the labels were all on the back but the front had a few minnor scratches and dinged corners and a small hole in the front that was not there before it was sent, so ALLWAYS ask!!!

    How did we miss that, it looked like it was up for over 4 hours before he bined it, man I was all over ebay between those hours and probably saw every bin posted and missed that???? Whats up with that??? Good catch though, I guess I cant bin them all!!

    Nice find UK, thanks for the pics too. I love seeing what other collectors find, man even though I find stuff quite frequently I get excited about every new thing I find no matter how big or small. We need to have a PICTURE thread just for posting pics of the things we find in the wild or buy from ebay, I know there is the thrift thread and all but we need a new thread just for posting pics of our collections, finds, trades, ext... Any way just babaling now, but congrats again, its allways awesome to find boxed stuff in the wild!! 8)

    I agree with you guys also, even though I was going to buy it I was going to find one of you guys to sell it to or loan it to so you could do your magic with it, rather than just drop it in a glass display case and let 10 people see it over a 10 year period, I would rather see someone do something with it and develop some new stuff or finish some old stuff!! :D

    AWE guys, bad news, someone emailed me and said that he bid on the same auction from the same guy a while back and got some copied flyers and a bumpersticker and a sorry copy of some video tape, and nothing more!!! He saw the same auction back up and wanted to warn everyone that bid that it was a scam, and to cancel our auctions, I didnt win, but the guy sent me an email offering me the same stuff and it looked to me like you got everything in the pictures but apparently it is just the way he words it, he worms his way out of it and screws people I dont know this for sure it is just what it seams to be, so I am not messing with him, sorry for the bad news, but good to find out now rather that later!!! Man, I guess if it seems to good to be true, it probably is!!
