This may have been hit on before and I just missed it. Did Atari ever come out with a cart holder bigger than eight slots in the early days? I've come across several over the years and they've all been either eight slot or interlocking eights. TEN would have been a logical choice. It seems odd that all of the cart organizers were always eight slots when their initial offering of game carts was nine. . .Just a thought...

Just the 'last 24 hours' bump!

It's worth it...I heard that Combat sat next to homerwannabe's Atlantis II. It might have even touched it. :!:
That has to be it. The other one he has is only 8 cents.

More Crunchy
*looks around* You know, somewhere around here, I have a text copy of superman...

The first link is working now. I've added some game packages to the auction list too!
-
Okay, It appears that link isn't working. Until eBay updates its site, here are the individual links:

Okays, I'm running kind of late with my Christmas auctions, so these are just up for five days, to give me plenty of shipping time. Check back over the next couple of days, as I will be adding items.
Thanks!! -
How much ram in this beast?

Last 23 hours!

I will never understand collecting for the playstation, guess for me the generation gap is starting for Video Game collecting...
Oh yeah, sealed game collecters are nuts also
I agree. The playstation is very flat when it comes to retrogamers. Could be the fact that the PS2 is reverse compatible to most all of the PS1 games. I'm sure we'd be seeing more of the same with the 2600 if it was just a cookie-cutter system and the 7800 had done well enough to have lasted longer than it did. Of course, with the 2600, you still have the 'love of your first game system' and so many variants to choose from which, in itself, is a cause to make collectors need a drool bib.

When I think about Atlantis II, I touch myself.
I honestly do.
WAY too much info. -
Halfway bump.

Yeah I remember years ago Cds came in those annoying plastic cases that were a bitch to get off
Don't remind me. K-mart really sucked about that. I don't have a single CD from that era that doesn't have a cracked case from trying to take that damned thing off.

Just a bump
We're at ten hours and counting, so don't miss out! -
Yeah you wouldn't expect the ship's cook to be ranked highest
Maybe he's a really good cook?
Steven Segal before he got all horky and pretentious?

If it was an actual Heavy Sixer, most (?) of those had no channel select switch. I believe these were factory set to operate on channel 3 (It has been a while since I've had mine hooked up). I have had problems with the newer carts working on a Heavy Sun before. Solaris woudn't give me the time of day, but I could play Cannon Man all night. Try testing the power supply and make certain your connections are all good. As old as the console is, if it were used a lot around pets and children, it could be that the power adapter has been uncerimoniously removed on more than one occasion

Funny, I always thought Nintendo killed Atari.
Of course, I liked both Atari and Transformers back in the day. Oddly enough, that hasn't changed.
Same here (though techincally, if the rumors are true, Atari killed atari by not buying out Nintendo when they had the chance)
Transformers...and Atari. Those were the days.
WTF version of Megatron is that supposed to be anyways? I'm not familiar with it at all.
That's a Happy Meal version of Megatron from the recent new live action movie. He's not in most of the movie, just thawed out for the final battle. Doesn't have many lines, but he sounds like Agent Smith.
Here's an image of Megs: http://us.i1.yimg.com/img.movies.yahoo.com...00493880518.jpg
I haven't seen the movie yet. What does he transform into? A giant wad of twisted metal?
-
You know those little epiphanies you get out of nowhere? I had one today. My son was playing with a little bit of plastic he got a little while back from Sandwitch Monarch
. It was the Megatron action figure pictured here:
A Transformers collector from the early days, I took a closer look, wondering what the heck they'd done to Megatron for this new movie. Turning him around, I was perplexed to see what? An ATARI Fuji on Megatron's ass?!!
Of course, I drew the only conclusion possible... ATARI didn't collapse. The best parts of it left this world to conquer the Universe!
Peace Through ATARI Tyrrany!!!!

Yes, I AM still alive!! It's been a while, but I'm back with some 'new' stock. Check out these auctions:
Crunchy eBay Auction Goodness!!
Also, for you guys who've been asking, I have more of the circuitboard keychains. I'll post some pics later, but I have some made from actual cartridge guts!!!! Stay tuned. . .

Wow, I am surprised that no one has said the 5 million E.T. cart dump yet. This has to be one of the biggest threads ever created here.
It's always in the back of everyones' mind. We just try to sing really loud in our heads and ignore it. Just like George Plimpton's swimming pool foundation of 2600 carts -
Some people try to cash in on un suspecting Star Wars fans/collectors but to do that he should have had it proffesionally graded
......anyone remember that one?
I remember that one, but can't remember if it sold or not? Didn't they want like 150?
Yeah! It sold the 1st or 2nd day it was up!
Wasn't that the one that also had the SNES game description in the listing? -
Shameless bump. Just over seven hours left!

I can tell you that, because of the nature of the items I trade in (mostly retrogaming, some systems), eBay ate up a good chunk of my profits last year in FVFs and the overall monthly charge. If you have good-selling items to auction in good numbers, you will probably do well. If you're looking to sell a bunch of small items (carts, cards, etc.), you'd probably be better off building your own internet store. With sites like freewebs.com and the like, it is pretty easy to do. I am in the process of doing this, myself, though I still use eBay for the occasional auction.
My store, under construction. Pardon my dust, and please don't step on the duck.
