  1. Jerry.. Thanks for the spelling lesson... NO WONDER I FAILED SPELLING IN SCHOOL... year after year after year.... BTW... I'm sure if these were BIN you would have grabbed them... Not sure how that whole thing started.. but, I stand by my original post... You will ALWAYS find more deals on eBay... Theres always another auction... I've gotten hundreds of 2600 carts on eBay all for .60 cents OR LESS... I dont pay more.. thats including shipping... I then spend anywhere from 5 cents to 60 cents listing them... Even by giving away free carts I still make some profit... I keep the carts I want for my collection.. of course with the profit I make I buy MORE CARTS!... Congrats on the baskets... HEE HEE.. and good luck bidding on more STUFF! Have any of you heard Weird Al's eBay song? http://www.geoffellis.com/ebay.html
  2. Actually... last time I did a batch auction like this.. MANY DID STAY A PENNY... I don't mind passing a bargin on now and then... I have been posting.. and am getting more into the community here... I actually enjoy collecting and playing Atari.. and if selling some extras on Ebay helps fund my own collection.. Hey.. I see nothing wrong with that... I'm always open to advise from you "pros"... SI
  3. "I'm really happy that someone with a screen name of SpaceInvader sent me a comment! You're my favorite person on this website just cause of you're screen name " How nice of you to say so... and btw.. I love SI and enjoy the game but would NEVER challenge you... I think you could possibly be the worlds leading SI player... only a fool... or an alien would be dumb enough to take that challenge... HEE HEE!! I guess it's good your taking a break from hardcore gaming to find a place to live and to take care of your life... those things to seem to pile up... I know there have been days I put off doing things for the love of "just one more game"... LOL.. It seems that your having some hard times right now... thats the way it goes sometimes... but looking back over my own stuff.. i have found that "this too shall pass.." there have been MAJOR problems in my life.. that once there done.. I look back now and go.. wow.. that was nothing compared to the crap I'm dealing iwth now... You just have to make the best of it.. learn as you go.. and take the best with you... I have tried not to let other peoples words or actions make me bitter... Life is too short.. and the stress isnt worth the energy... Just free advise... So, keep us all posted on your girl, your apartment, and of course saving the universe... Hope your feeling better.. SI
  4. Aww Shucks... thanks for the warm welcome... I'm in the process of fixing a couple 2600s.. I'm not an expert, but getting better .. I've gotten a couple up and running.. I'm sure I'll have questions.. the people on this forum seem real helpful.. and share a real "community" atmosphere... I think I'll hang out for a bit if ya don't mind.. SI
  5. GRAB THEM WHILE YOU CAN... Even earn a FREE one of your choice. My ebay auctions BUY 3 GET 1 FREE!! Rarity 1, 2, 3, 4.... EVEN A 7!!!!! You still here?? go look! ebay Auctionsbycherylann LOL SI
  6. as Homer would say... "DUH!" HOWEVER... I have learned this about eBay... As long as there is eBay, there will always.. and I mean ALWAYS be another auction with another deal... True sometimes a newbie comes along and bids twice what it's worth.. and spoils the fun for everyone.. well, except the seller! HEE HEE.. ... But if you miss an auction, or a great deal.. chances are very good that it will come back around again.... While your looking at ebay check out my store.. I have about 90 Atari 2600 carts listed... and adding daily.... would welcome your feedback on my items, store, etc... click the link below... OH... and by the way.. I've got some BIN.. so hurry up before someone else buys it! My Ebay store Auctionsbycherylann SI
  7. MY HERO! Saving the world from baddies and aliens everywhere!!!! Hope you and your girl find a great place... one with everything you are both looking for.. and possibly a shrine room.. i mean game room.. where you can relax and save the universe!! SI
  8. Awwww, Thats a sweet thing to say... It was my first Atari game.. and you know what they say... I still love the game, I can spend countless hours saving earth from the marching bunny and gorillia space aliens! And I still say in the ET vs Pacman Battle... ET is worse... but it's not horrible... **A note on pac-man....Isnt it frustrating when you know you got away but a ghost gets you anyway.. whats up with that?? ... Do we have a tally on the poll??? which came in first.. or rather.. last place????
  9. I buy games in lots and sell them on Ebay... I try to never pay more then .60 each... (just a random amount I came up with 2 years ago.) To date, I have bought hundreds that way... Just boxes full... so I can list them... First I sort them out by rarity, I find a few 4's or 5's that way... I have even found a couple 6's . all at .60 CENT EACH!! I then pick out the ones I want to add to my own collection... ALL are cleaned and tested... hee hee.. thats my excuse to PLAY THEM!! LOL After making sure I picked what I want keep.. I usually have a a few carts that I trade out for nicer condition covers and so forth..... The rest are Ebay bound... I have about 90 listed right now... and I'm always shopping for more... Even with Ebay fees this is a nice way to make a little profit... ENOUGH TO BUY MORE CARTS!!! but to answer the original post ... $1 a game.. heck you spend more then that in quarters for a few plays of an arcade game... I say it's a bargin... SI
  10. I had a really great entry idea... Okay.. first you ... wait it starts off..... uhh.... wait... umm...... Oh gosh my idea wont come out .. it must be constipated!!! Maybe if I sit here and think it will come out.... I'll try back later.. Sorry I just couldnt resist... SI
