    Been going out to the flea markets and thrifts alot the last few weeks. I have paid as low as 50 cent each for a couple of carts I didn't have to as high as $3.50 each. Yeah I do see more and more people going $3 to $5 on 2600 games in the fleas and thrifts and thats fine. But $8 is way to high. But hey if ya pay $8 then they will charge $8 and by some of your post well.

    Besides Combat, Asteroids and Pac-Man whats that one game you seem to find anytime you come across Atari games in the wild? For me it's Jr-Pac-Man. I swear to god I've found about 30 copies of this game!!! Also Frogger.

    If you really have that many copies, I'd IM Albert - he's been looking for spare supercarts to add a new adventure game to the AtariAge store! :)

     

    As for my dupes, I've got about a zillion Space Invaders.

    No I don't have that many copies but I really have find just about that many lol. I don't buy em.

    Just got it for $4.75 shipped. And thanks Gilbert for telling me how to buy games. Been doing this for 8 years now and I've never seen a 2600 game selling for over $5.00 at a flea market. And as far as me being rude first... when I walked up to her booth I stood there for about 2 minutes before she walked over to me she was to busy laughing and talking to a friend on her cell to make a sale. But hell maybe I did overreact.

    I have found that when someone has something that i want and are ignorant being rude back does nothing but lower myself to their level. Maybe if you had tried being nice you could have gotten further. I have also learned that you get what you give in life and shoudl always treat people the way you would want to be treated.

    Thats kinda my point. I took she must have wanted me to treat her rude as thats the way she was treating me. :)

    Honestly, if it were me and I didn't already have the game, I'd have paid the $8 right there. If it's worth $5 and you pay that on ebay, even first class shipping in a bubble envelope with the words "BREAK ME" stamped on both sides is going to run the price up to at least $7.

     

    Was it the handle cart or the square version? I've got a handle cart that's all jacked up and could use a replacement.

    No handle. I'm kinda shocked by the replies. I was thinking most would feel the same as I do.

    Ok so I was at a flea market today and I see a women running a booth with video games. So I go over to see if she has any Atari game and she does! There was only one I didn't have Eggomania . I ask her how much she says I'll go $8.00!!! I said thats to high she then says like a bitch pshhh NO IT'S NOT! My wife says come on lets go I said no and offer her $5.00. Now thats still to much but I think hey if I get it off ebay with shipping I would pay $5.00 or so. She then says you know that game is worth more than five dollars! I said no not really and she says yeah ok whatever. I slame the game down call her stupid and walk away.

    Here is what you should of done. "Hmm, $8.00? Well that's a little out of my price range. Tell you what, if no one is willing to pay that amount for it, I will gladly offer $5 for it." After about 3 months or so she will eventually realize that she has a selling dud on her hands and will give it to you for that price.

    Nah she was rude plus selling overpriced games! No way I could have been that nice to her.

    I don't see the point in not being nice to her in this situation. Fact is you are probably the only person in your town that actually desires this game. We collectors are a rare breed. Why be mean when the market will teach her more of a lesson than you could ever teach her.

    It wasn't in my town it was a town an hour or so west right off I-95 with lots of flea markets and outlet shopping. Anyway I would have been nice but she was rude so ya get what you give.
