The most ive paid is 25.00 for the nintendo power set...actually got the top loader with two 2600s intellivision 2 ,nintendo nes and about 40, 2600 games for forty dollars.the 2600 games one lot I paid 40.00 dollars for a box of about 150 games..I think theres about 500+ games in the picture most all commons...I find a lot by asking at yard sales if they have in old video games they would want to sell.I have passed on a lot of 2600 stuff .I dont mind paying a good price if theres rare games but some insist pac man sells on ebay for mega dollars so i pass.The best place I find stuff at are the yard sales that you have to drive 5 to 15 miles up old roads to get to the ones most pass on.Except for the boxed stuff everything is up for trade...

ok i put this in the other post can someone delete this post.

my best finds

pics in first post couldnt add last pic to first post

These are my best finds ...

Heres some pics of what ive found so far this spring at yard sales and flea markets

Was a good deal...I love collecting as much as anyone else but I only spend a few minutes a week on Ebay looking ...Atari is fun but me personaly I cant see wasting my life on the computer watching for a good deal.. plus once I get one of something I dont bid on that item again.

Had an awsome yard sale flea market week..started out got a box of atari games 40+ 4 switch woodie star raiders touch pad and two rare controllers for 10 dollars...Game boy in its case with adaptor plus 4 games for 5.00 dollars another game boy for 75 cents..nintendo nes +dozen games for 5.00 dollars.Nintendo power pad set mint in the box for 20.00 dollars then today hit the mother load..got two sears six switch 2600s one boxed plus 30 games intellivision 2 plus the atari adaptor and a few games..nintendo nes plus 6 boxed games and best of all a mint boxed nes top loader all for 40.00 dollars..cant wait to go out looking this weekend..

I dont know about zellers carts but I think the entire rarity guide needs updated.

What would be a fair price for one of the store displays where you get the monitor stand super nintendo.The kind they had in stores for demonstrations.

Wonder if the winning bidder would be interested in some Florida swamp land.I think someone has more money than brains.

I think air raid is the only true 10 Ive never seen one on ebay or any where else.

Someones selling pac man in our local paper they want 900.00 is that a good deal or high.

Ok with yard sale season up and running what are the holy grail super nintendo and genisis games I should grab if I run across them...

All loose coleco need bearstein bears apollo need lockjaw guardian parker brothers need qbert cubes telseys need ram it imagic needalantis2 m network need he man atari need the three red ones and obleix. tigervision need river patrol completed collections loose activision 20th century fox zimag us games mythicon sega cbs froggo data age epyx

I quit buying on ebay because it seems every auction I am interested in doesnt have shipping costs Iam sick of paying 5.00 bucks shipping and getting my game in a 80 cent bubble envlope.Plus I won one of the atari 8cart book style holders a while back for about 6.00 dollars and the seller wanted like 14 dollars to ship.I asked if they could compromise on shipping.So They did come down to around 8 dollars but I got the holder in a envelope crushed to pieces with a 2.00 shipping charge on the envelope.

I thought begal brothers went out of business guess not maybe menavision will start putting out more air raids

I think I should let the guy in the local comic store know about this one seeing how he told me a mint in the box colecovision was worth 2 grand.

The common thing I run into on ebay is a 3.75...4.00 shipping charge that ends up coming in a 80cent bubble mailer..I actually like the bubble envelopes the games seem to get to me faster and so far no damage.but It would be nice to only pay the 80 cents shipping tho.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I know some are a long shot, but you never know When I graduate, all of you better watch out because dropping 700 on a game is what I will be doing on EBAY PS: So get your rares now:) Well I wish you luck I could probally drop 700 on games to but somethings hold me back ..House payment car payment insurance gas bill water bill sewar bill garabge bill electric bill cabel bill phone bill internet bill.gasoline,food clothing.dentist bill doctor bill.then add in the expense of children double everything for mentioned..Hey any chance of gettind Air raid for 700 cents .....

Well went back today Sunday...still nothing atari did find double dragon2 bubble bobble mega man 3 egg splode/short order..concentration..for three dollars each...I am not up on nintendo do you think I did ok or did I over pay.

I dont see how you guys can tell some of these games in the piles there in or in the dirty condition..I can hardly make out any of the games...might be time to start wearing my glasses

Man was today a bummer the flea market opened.Had great weather and about 300 people selling.I checked out every seller and the only game stuff throuh out the entire flea market was one sega for 20 dollars and a nintendo 64 with 5 games for fifty dollars.Sure hope it isnt going dry around here to.

I say do what is affordable for you.If you have the money to buy complete games I would buy complete games.also got to take how much space you have into account.Having the instructions is always helpful and the boxed game look nice displayed.If you are on a limited budget loose games are fine and take up less space.I would say just dont go in over your head trying to build a collection in a matter of months.It may take years and years to build up a nice collection.So I say do what you can afford.

My wife would like to smash me over the head with one of my atari`s but she will play dr mario.
