    The flea markets I go to have lots of game sellers so there is competition. I really only look for 2600 stuff so I cannot claim anything about prices of the overall market, but most of them were willing to haggle and prices I get are fair. I think the Nintendo stuff is a little pricey especially the handheld stuff. I've never had one mention Ebay. I think that is more a tactic of the non-gamer person who is just selling whatever they got. I always try to have cash in hand and I mean visible but not flashing too obvious. Cash is king.

    I'm focused on 2600 from now on. I still have a Genny and NES for a few favs but I got rid of everything else a few years ago. I now concentrate on loose carts in the wild. I wouldn't mind getting an old PC (Atari or TI) to fiddle with. I treating them like lovers, where I've had a bunch good, bad and awesome, some were new some were used, some were locked in the closet and taken out occasionally to share with a friend but now I'm just bagging what I can from flea markets, thrift stores and yard sales.

    My wife got me this last week and I'm surprised I haven't melted my PS3 yet. I rented it for a couple days at release but really got into it this last week. I lovin it, the phone is not annoying, the game flows better and switching between characters is great.

    I had to take this back to Redbox cause I have to study for a test tomorrow :) otherwise I wouldn't get anything done. I'll probably get after a price drop or rent it again. I like the Idea of renting so I can remove the temptation of mis-allocating my time. However the flow of the game is real nice and the phone doesn't bother me. I liked reloading from a save and just coming into the day to day routine instead of getting out of bed. The environment is awesome! I feel like I know my way around from playing San Andreas. I did a couple of the side character missions. I thought GTA IV was a little clunky but I didn't really like III either. I think I'm a West coast GTA'er. However, Vice City may have been the most fun.

    Got this one waiting for me in the Redbox. If I have to answer the GD phone all the time its a no go. May as well make me do virtual taxes and go tho the dentist.

     

    I miss the rampages from Vice City.

     

    I also miss Pizza boy, taxi driver, ambulance, fire and vigilante missions.

    I found a converter for the GG once at a thrift for a dollar. It was in a weird place in the store like the stocker didn't know what it was. I had never known about them and wasn't sure if it was what it was. I had also found a few complete MS games a couple years before. I think I played them just a couple times and sold it with a good size GG collection. I really like the way Sega always tried to make sure you could always play games after you bought the newer console.

    Had an ADAM for a weekend. My wife paid $200 for it at a yard sale. I really didn't wan't it but she insisted that I would like it, as I wasn't with her to scrutinize and haggle properly. it was a nice set up and large. But, it didn't work as they said of course, powered up, displayed video, then goboldy gook. Heard this was a RAM issue and gave up. The value was in the accessories. Don't remember all of them but it was pretty much every crazy controller for Coleco in the box a couple hard to find disk drives and 60 or so games mostly complete. I flipped it ASAP for a $25 profit. That was a close one. But another AA member and Coleco fan in a nearby town got a great stuff to fill out their collection.

     

    I also struck out on a TI-994a, but that was only for seven bucks or so.

     

    Scored a small mountain of Sinclair stuff for $50 a while back. Had a little fun with it for a little while. Then sold it to another AAer for $50.

     

    Always got my RADAR on for the good stuff though.

    That's what I was about to say. A Color Computer should just have an AC power cord sticking out the back. That's it.

     

    EDIT: I suppose you could have spotted an MC-10, though, but I almost don't consider that a CoCo, haha.

    I think you are right. White with little calculator keys. Glad I passed.

    Had a TRS-80 color computer in my hand today at the thrift store. I've bit on vintage PC's in the past with some mixed results. It had the box and RF hook up but no power supply. $24, I had to pass. I don't see a lot of PC's, so it was kinda hard to do. My friend down the street had a COCO2 when I was a kid, and I thought it was alright considering I didn't have shit. How much vintage stuff do you guys see in your neck of the woods?

    Visited the Dothan AL Flea Market (Sallies I think) and saw a big box full of super dusty woodies (sixish) Two other boxes of games. Scored a "Alpha Beam With Ernie" for $1. This was my second visit to this market last time was last fall I believe, and I think the two boxes of stuff were there last time. The third box had the VCS in the matching woody console case and could tell it was all from one owner with a boxed tele-games joystick and lots of manuals. Turns out this market doesn't have an ATM! Good for me though got a strict budget.
