doctorclu Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 This is a thread to report in if you see a Jaguar in the wild. Our first stop was in the exotic location of Irving, Texas at the Irving Mall. Indeed while I passed by many cougars on the way to this location, I was thrilled and delighted to see a elusive Jaguar (and even a Lynx, but that is another thread). I was able to get some pictures of the beasts Talking to the natives at that location they gave the following report of Jaguar sightings at their other locations. CGX at the Irving Mail in, you guessed it, Irving, Texas. 972 255 4263. The other locations are: Temple, TX 254 791 4263 Cybermorph, Flip Out Sherman, TX 903 891 9120 None Mesquite, TX 972 686 4263 None Frisco, TX 214 387 4263 Unknown Valley View Dallas, TX 972 386 4263 Unknown Plano, TX 972 578 9269 Unknown Now it was two weeks ago I was in the bad lands of Grand Prarie, Texas, and arrived at Trader's Village. Travelling clear to the back of the place is a vendor named "Kroft's Collectables" He's been there a long time. We were able to get some pictures of Jaguars, Lynx, and Krikee!! Do you see the bobcat in this picture? And here are the rest of the pictures of this beautiful cat in the wild at Kroft's Collectables... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Hmm, I know where I can probably find a few Jaguars and games in stores here in Austin. May have to stop by a few places and take some pictures.. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+LS650 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I don't think the Jaguar was very popular in Canada; I have never seen any Jag items "in the wild", only on eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLeaf Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I don't think the Jaguar was very popular in Canada; I have never seen any Jag items "in the wild", only on eBay. There's a retro store near me that has a whole box of loose carts. Probably about 50 or 60. Not sure of the titles as they don't have end labels and they're behind the counter. Never asked about them because I'm not a Jag fan. Probably expensive though, considering the prices of things in this store (loose Xonox Chuck/Artillery $55) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its run by an older guy and his Korean wife. They don't have a website though. If you google Game Cycle Windsor Ontario you'll find their contact info. EDIT: I made a quick call and the games range in price from $3 to $65 depending on title. I know nothing about Jag and didn't ask about specific titles though. Again, from what I've seen, these are loose carts. I don't remember if they have any boxed games. I think they have a system too. Next time I go in I'll pay a little more attention.

doctorclu Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 The only picture I would submit would be me walking out with the items in my hands. Well in my case usually if I already own what they have in the store I will try to take a picture so other people will know where to find things "In the wild" While some would disagree, there is only so many duplicates you need of Atari in a Atari collection.

+orpheuswaking Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 There is a store I visit with my daughter frequently that has loose games and a jag system... they want $65 for the system and stupid prices for the carts... hence why they are still there... couple times a year I offer them a fair price for everything they have in bulk... No Dice... Also there is a McVans video games near me that has common sealed boxed games, but again want stupid prices for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the.golden.ax Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 There is a comic shop in Tennessee with four copies of Zool, a Cybermorph, and one other common I could not recall. All $8 each and loose cart only.... only Jag games I've seen in the past decade in public round here. AX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLeaf Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Just for curiosity sake, what is a reasonable price to pay for a loose Jag system? I'm going to go to that shop I mentioned and ask the price of theirs (if my eyes weren't deceiving me and they do actually have one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minuS Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 The ceiling of fairness (e.g. independent shops that offer decent trade-in values and want to stay in business) is about $75 CDN. Realistically, you should be able to find one for under $50 with a little effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more curious then anything else. Its the one Atari system I don't know anything about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vectorman0 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Both the Digital Press Store and Next Level Videogames usually have Jaguar systems in stock and they always have games. Both stores price their items very reasonably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carmel_andrews Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I'll go look at a couple of shops i think might still do atari retro stuff over the next month (they are based in west london), i guess though there's only a remote poss'y of them having jaguar stuff) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcjakeqcool Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I hav'ent been lucky enough to see wild jaguars anywhere except eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLeaf Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Well I finally got a chance to hit that shop I was talking about, they had a Jag but they said they sold it. I asked what they sold it for: $199 I didn't ask if any games were sold with it but that seems quite high based on what I've been reading here.

+Darrin9999 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I`m in Michigan and have never seen a Jaguar in the wild. Only Ebay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddyBuddies Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I usually buy up the Jag stuff i see in the wild. Mostly common games and controllers is all i see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
