    Do the exclaimation points come free, or do you have to pay extra for those? :D

     

    I just did a copy and paste.:)

    Indeed, there are some really great games for the O2, but those "!"s always make me think "CRAPPY GAME! DON'T TAKE NOTICE! JUST LOOK AT THE PRETTY '!'s!!!"

     

    I just did a copy and paste. I didn't think about removing all the extras. :)

    one thing that crossed my mind - since he was going to ship this today in just the original box, my guess would be that he taped it shut. I don't want to ask him for fear of him trying to remove the tape if he did. now if he did how hard would it be to remove it with a hair dryer/heat gun?

    good thing I remembered the shipping incident with the atari box mentioned here. I decided to see if the seller was going to place this into another box and found out that he was just going to ship it in the factory box. I caught him before it shipped and now he is going to find a box to place everything into. I am really glad I saw that thread.

    $2.00 ins. on a $14 auction?????....whata bargain....LOL

     

    I once heard from someone on another forum who almost bid on a colecovision cart that had a BIN of 8.99 with a shipping charge of 9.00 plus 2.50 for insurance plus an extra 4.00 for ebay/paypal fees. as soon as he saw that he moved away from that auction asap.

    here is a better idea of what is happening: imagine having the console set to chan. 4 with the tv on 3. the picture shows up but its fuzzy looking and then you have that static sound.

     

    yes, I already checked and the console is on chan.3. ;)

     

    I am also not using an rf switch. I'm using one of those rf to f-jack plugs.

     

    edited to fix the description of the adapter.

    I recently purchased a few consoles and while testing them I found one that actually works. now what I work like to do is use the case of 1 that looks brand new to replace the old, messed up looking 1 that works. is this something really hard to do?

     

    another thing - any idea what this could be: when I turn another system on the game shows up. its kinda fuzzy but not that bad but it has this like static humming sound. the sound is coming through the speakers on the tv not the console itself.

    I was out today and came across the following carts:

     

    jr. pac-man

    xevious for 7800

    return of the jedi

    q-bert - atari release

    defender for colecovision

    freeway

    keystone capers

    sentinel for 2600 looked brand new

    plaque attack

    deadly duck

    crash dive

    commando raid

     

    I know some of these are very common but are any of these rare enough to warrant this purchase?

     

    if I buy them all at once the guy said he would give them to me for 60.00. he said he thinks he has some of the boxes/manuals too. is this a good deal?

     

    I can also get a colecovision console minus power supply for 10.00.

    I tried Gibraltar in Mount Clemens and there was one guy who had Atari stuff, but it was way overpriced.

     

    I was there 2 weeks ago and that guy was selling a Pac-Man for $8.00 if I remember correctly. then again it may have been $6.00. either way, way too much.

    the last time i went to the Gibralter trade center in Taylor was early january

     

    there are 3 places in there that sell videogames, selling from $2 to $5 loose atari 2600 games to modern stuff

     

    the guy who i got the mint Snatcher game for $10 and Third World War minus the case for free :) - his booth was pretty empty, i hope it was because of selling off all his stuff during xmas. he will buy and sell all kinds of stuff for every system

     

    and the best thing is you can haggle with them on the prices  :D

     

    I was there about 2 weeks ago and only saw one shop that had Atari games. the other booth I saw had some kid working there and he didn't even know what an Atari was. where are they located if you don't mind saying? are they located in the front(facing Eureka) or toward the back of the place?

    I am in the process of hooking up all my newly purchased systems and I would like to hook them all up and just use a switcher to select which console I would like to play. I know there are A/V switchers but I don't recall seeing one that works with rf.

     

    Your best bet is to get a bunch of RCA to F-Jack converters and use an F-Jack switchbox. You'll get a cleaner picture that way.

    Examples

    thanks for the replies everyone.

     

    where can I find an F-jack switchbox?
