Wanted: Common Atari 2600 / 7800 Cartridges

[Albert]

Greetings,

 

I'm looking for common Atari 2600 and 7800 cartridges that I can use for homebrew games. I'm looking for shells from Atari and Sears, no other third-party shells at this time. I generally give store credit for shells (50 cents each for 2600, will give $1.00 each for 7800 shells) and I'll cover shipping costs as long as you are frugal with shipping them (don't ship them overnight using FedEx!)

 

Carts need to be clean and free from physical defects and markings on the plastic.

 

Thanks!

I've got 16 or so 2600 carts (you don't want silver or red labels, right?) and 3 Pole Position II 7800 carts. PM me if you are interested.

Definitely want red label carts and silver label if they are the later type without a dust cover (and are actually "gray" and not the metallic labels).

 

Thanks,

What about coleco shells? Do you still need those?

I have 24 2600 Carts, But I have one (Casino) That the dust cover has springs that can be pushed down with your finger, Do you accept those?

Great about Coleco shells. I'll have a box of them and more in the mail.

I'm liquidating Ground Kontrol's Atari 2600 stock, which includes about 2500 cartridges. Of those, I'd say about two-thirds are Atari black or silver label.

 

Can you use that many? And what's the difference between "gray" and "metallic" silver labels?

Yeah, I don't envy Al for that task.

 

That's a large stock of games (hopefully) coming his way.

I packed up the carts, about 600 in all, on Saturday and took them to UPS. All are black-label carts, and most labels are still intact (unfortunately.) They're in four boxes weighing a total of 82 lbs.

 

 

I've PMed you the tracking numbers. You should receive them by the end of the week.

 

Shipping total: $118.07 (!)

Woo hoo, thanks! I'll let you know when they arrive.

 

Still need more carts if anyone has them!

I haven't been to Ground Kontrol in some time (I don' t live in Portland or I'd be in all the time!). Any particular reason you are liquidating the Atari stock? IIRC, you could purchase games at the counter, is that not the case any more?
