SS Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 I dunno … maybe it’s just me but I have trouble believing posters with two posts total who brag about bringing home a bag-full of rare carts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lifeguard Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 StanJr wasn't the only one to find a Sneak 'n Peek. I got one too along with a River Raid, Mega Force, Worm War I, Joust, Fantastic Voyage, Space Jockey, Dragonfire, and Atari Donkey Kong. I got those all for $2 (ha!--less than a quarter each!) at a flea market. The other day I found a Raft Rider for 2 dollars at a game shop.

Cheers, HEADCOPTER You were pretty quick to list them on eBay, I take it you already have a BMX Airmaster cart or you don't collect. http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?View...&sort=3&rows=25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MegaManFan Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 I dunno … maybe it’s just me but I have trouble believing posters with two posts total who brag about bringing home a bag-full of rare carts. Actually given that he's in Australia, this one isn't so hard to believe. A lot of the rare games here seem to be ridiculously common elsewhere. Too bad that makes them PAL though.

Voch Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 I found Summer Games and Winter Games from Epyx for $3 each at a local toy/fun store near my alma mater. They have drawers and drawers of commons for sale. Voch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osbo Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 I found a lot of crap this weekend but I didn't buy anything... there was a 7800 with some 15 common games, a box full of Wico controllers for a dollar each, two PS1, a couple of NES, one NES top loader (it looked kinda nasty) a Dreamcast for 12 bucks but the guy didn't have the controller or the A/V cable... oh well, hopefully I'll have more luck next weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 Yeah, I saw a 7800 this weekend as well, but I don't see paying $25 for it. Plus, what am I going to do with one, I'm a 2600 kind of guy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just find the right seller who doesn't know what he's talking about, and you end up with the wrong version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just find the right seller who doesn't know what he's talking about, and you end up with the wrong version. Been there, done that. Ended up with an $85 PAL Boing! and the seller was not willing to give me a refund (what a shock). Fortunately I think I may have traded it for something better, but even if it got lost in the mail on the way to Germany I had little to lose since it was otherwise unplayable.

Did he list it specifically list it as NTSC? Either way, I bet he knew it was PAL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariLeaf Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 I found these three Wico's for a buck apiece. I don't know their names so here's a pic. Anyone know if one is better than the other or more popular then the other or is it just personal preference as to how they handle? Oh yes, I also picked up a Super Game Boy adapter for 4 loonies!
