    I have been collecting v.smile games for my neice to play at my house and recently have been trading them with a few AA'ers. They are actual games, the game mechanic just usually has you shooting, collecting, maneuvering letters and numbers, although there is some straight up simple gaming. But the reason I started collecting them was that they were all over the thrifts and garage sales. I have never run into the little purple bastards at any kind of game store, though.

     

    V.smile factoid #1: Alphabet Park is the "Combat" of V.smile games.

    V.smile factoid #2: V.smile controllers physically convert from right handed to left handed operation.

    V.smile factoid #3: Shit, now I am probably "the V.smile guy"......

    lol I too have been collecting them, I see them in bundles of 6 or more carts at my local thriftshop for 2.99. I found a V-Smile Mobi-Go (looks like an old school T-mobile Gen one Sidekick) and a V-smile handheld console. My daughter will have quite the game collection when she is old enough to figure these things out :)

     

    I think I have around 30 or more carts.

    Its like that everywere, all the hipsters buying up "retro" games at thriftstores seems to be the "cool" thing to do now. I swear 3/5 times I go when i went on my regular route there was always someone asking "Got any Retro games?". Or the Phone scanner folks, those are always the best!

     

     

    The day's of huge Thriftstore hauls are over, at least in Western WA. CL is another dead end too, there is that rare moment when a huge lot will pop up but you have to be fast as the resellers sit there and refresh the page to see newly listed stuff. I was pretty suprised I was able to get the lot I did yesterday with the ad being up as long as it was (over 24 hours) and the prices I got the stuff for was pretty insane.

     

    Oh and I dont even bother looking for old school game stuff at Goodwill anymore it goes right to ebay or shopgoodwill.com. Oldest things I see are PSX with the occasional Genesis that managed to slip through.

    Loads of fun games and cool homebrew stuff. The SD drive floating around allows you to play floppy games and cart Games off a scan disc. loads if cool upgrade mods to be had on the 800xl too.

     

    I have 4 800xl systems, a couple for back up parts up and one I have been trying to sell local.

     

    Fun system, I just snagged me a 130xe today, been playing around with it.

    I have about 20 carts that I have aquired over the year or so buying out lots of Atari 8bit and other Atari games. No system, but I did find the original joysticks for 2.99 at a pawn shop. Look to be in good condtion!

     

    I do however want one to have in the collection and play some of these games.

    Video Game Final Fees are one of the highest next to jewelry and Cars, I used to sell Old School car audio amplifiers and the final fees were very low.

     

    I agree that the fees in general are getting out of hand accross the board, I miss the old days of eBay!
