Crazy Climber

Oh snap!! I better get my checkbook ready!!

Im paying to have one shipped Serious, these are not as easy to find as they used to be...

a forum member has found me a vintage TV (black/white) so I no longer need this. Have no idea if you are close to MN anyway, lol

Damn, I take the weekend off and see that I almost miss out on a release I'll take one of the $70 releases, any number, it doesn't matter to me

He has always been a reseller, I don't think he ever collected. He was different though before as his prices were "fair" he always shipped asap and he would respond immediately on any questions/concerns. I wouldn't mind paying a little more to get games from him, plus I could get a bunch I needed all at once/etc... Now he just sucks....that is all there is to it, atari2600.com is dead to me.

I searched the thrifts high low for a small vintage tv today... no dice. These are getting harder to find man!

Huh, first I've heard of this! Looks amazing, count me in for one

3 or 4 years ago I believe I saw snyper selling some Homebrews at the MGC, I don't recall seeing any Atariage ones though. There were some various hacks/etc I had not heard of.....did he turn to the darkside?? I know I purchased a Simon Q game "I PROJECT" from him on Ebay a few years back. I no longer own it but was that unauthorized? (was in an activision case, definetily was not an Atariage release but I don't think this game was ever in the store)

They took a lot longer than that to sell out. I remember pondering one for DAYS and it was still available back when they were released. It did sell out pretty "quick" though... I was at the MGC this year and didn't see any unauthorized atari 2600 homebrews....then again the marketplace was a nightmare, what a mess, too damn busy to even see anything, lol

Yeah, I'm sure I could have put something on Craigslist and had a line down the block but I was more going for that "Holy sh*t!!" element of surprise Never came though, lol

True! I'm still amazed more rental places didn't get game boards swapped out with common super mario bros boards/etc back in the heyday. Me and my buddies always "talked" about how easy we could do it back then but since we were decent people we never actually did it.

I did put all the games out right away, but I did not advertise video games in my garage sale listing since it was a last minute impulsive decision. My immediate neighborhood people (around my age) all pretty much have no interest in classic games (this I am sure of since pretty much EVERYONE I talk to it comes up since I am so obsessed, lol) but I figured a few random collectors would pass by throughout the day I would post some pics of the bins but I'm already getting PM's with wanted lists, lol. I do tend to sell things cheap here on atariage (I'm for the most part a non profit collector) but those prices were a one time garage sale offer, lol. Online I sell them for what I paid

Believe it or not I have already got a few, lol

Another recent purchase from the jetsetter himself. Fast shipping and great prices, A+

Yeah, it was crazy watching the things I viewed as total crap selling instantly. Old chairs, tables, furniture just flew out the door. For 80's stuff the board games, comics and baseball cards went quick (none of them were of any value, I checked) CD's and DVD's were great sellers. Some guy even bought all the racks I was using to hold my junk (I was planning on tossing them afterwards, those things were beat, lol) all and all the sale was a success as I made some decent money from stuff I was going to toss or donate. I'm not mad the games didn't sell and actually a bit relieved as I would imagine having a lot of regret now that it's over (it was a TOTAL impulse thing, I do that sometimes) I'm just amazed NOBODY bought any of them. I get 99.9% of people don't care about vintage games but NOBODY BOUGHT ANYTHING!! Not even a system...Amazing really, lol

It's an out of print game so really signature or not $100 is not really that bad of an asking price. If no more are made ever and he sticks it in his closet for a few years he should easily get double.

Hello So, I always hear people saying how garage sales no longer have classic games/etc.. and how they miss the days they were readily available. Being a man of nostalgia I decided to do something last Saturday. They had one of those neighborhood garage sales that 50 or so houses participated in. I was participating but I did not really "plan" for what I did. At the last minute I took HUNDREDS of classic games loose and CIB and put them in bins. I purposely sprinkled some "rares" in there so people could hunt and find things, recapture those old days. Had a few more hard to find things I planned on sprinkling in throughout the day as people cherry picked the good stuff. Games ranged from Atari 2600, Intellivision, NES, Vectrex, Sega Genesis, SNES, imports handhelds and more... I literally had 100 or so CIB games and a few giant bins of loose stuff. Had a table full of systems, it was epic. I priced all loose games at $1 and all boxed games at $2. I also priced all systems (all working and complete) at $5. I'm not going to post a list of what I had (don't want a bunch of PM's asking me to sell them for a buck, lol) but I had at least a dozen $20ish range games hidden in the piles with a dozen more ready to slip in throughout the day. It really was the kind of haul that if I personally saw at a garage sale I would have sh*t myself and bought EVERYTHING! I just wanted to do something fun and I don't really have time to sell all this stuff right now, I knew I would lose a lot of money but what the heck right? I don't know what got into me...except.... NOT ONE GAME OR SYSTEM SOLD!! I kid you not man, nothing... I had at least 100 people walk through, I saw a few guys grab their phones and start Ebay checking a few games but not one video game sale. Looking back it's a good thing, I would have missed out on a ton of money, but I just wanted to give a few people a "garage sale story" I guess. Thought it would be fun to watch people trying to contain themselves and act "casual" as they cherrypicked through my rares. An experienced collector would have noticed there was several hundred dollars worth of stuff that could have been had at a fraction of the cost. I remember a 12 or so year old kid clutching a nice Gameboy Advance SP (CIB) that I priced at five bucks and his Dad saying No...what a cheapskate, lol Anyways, I tried man, I tried... not doing that again, lol

Ooohhhh, the plot thickens That one is clearly marked as a reproduction though and obviously looks like one. I still agree the Malagai looks legit to me.

Oh, found it, lol. Never mind

For those of us on shitty smart phones, where is the topic?

Ha! LOL

Yes, if you are in MN (which I doubt) I would glady nab this from you. I might even pay to ship it if that interests you....? (would need a little more info first of course) It's getting harder to actually find these since everyone just scraps them.

Actually...I do believe I remember seeing this and thinking it was one of those new weird phones people carry around like pacifiers these days

Ha! Love it

Bah, rubbish
