fdurso224 #1 Posted September 6, 2007 (edited) Hi Guys: Boy, after the score I did with the 9 Atari's I was thinking of throwing in the towel on collecting Atari 2600 Systems. Well, lady luck was on my side once again. I was in the Hunts Point section of the Bronx today, trying to buy some jeans at a local Variety Discount Store, when I notice there was a small, little Flea Market out side in the street. To make a long story short, I notice in the bunch of vendors was a small Puerto Rican gentleman selling some video games. While I was digging though his lot, I notice on the corner of my right eye was 3 Atari 2600 Consoles that were stacked in the corner. I asked them if he wanted to sell the systems, and said he'll sell all three for $6 Bucks each. After we tested them (and they work) I give him $18 bux altogether and I was tap dancing all the way home. NOTE: These are 4-switch Woodies. Stay Tuned, I'll get some pics after I clean them up.. Anthony.... Edited September 7, 2007 by fdurso224 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rockman_x_2002 #4 Posted September 6, 2007 That's the spirit! One for every room, even the bathroom. Wish I had that kind of luck down here. Afraid classic gaming paraphernalia is as dry as the heat these days, though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord Thag #6 Posted September 6, 2007 Yep, nothing like a nice game of Fast Food while you've got the stinky, digested version of the same flying out the other end accompanied by a vertitable symphony of flatulence. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Atari5200 #9 Posted September 6, 2007 i'm the same way. I always say i'm not going to buy any more systems, but there's the times where either price is a "cannot pass" on deal or the seller won't part with items individually. I try not to buy dupe systems, especially just color variants, like the Gameboys, as I don't see the reason for needing to own every color, but sometimes it cannot be helped, which is why i have like 6 2600's, 3 7800's 2 brick gameboys, 3 gameboy colors and 2 gamegears. No matter how much you try to NOT buy dupe systems, sometimes it just can't be helped. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you ever wonder if any used hand held systems you purchase have been used by someone in the bathroom? Probably have I only buy new ones now Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
