Insane Atari Estate sale


Recommended Posts

A pile of pirate games too :love:

 

Can someone identify what is under the Chase the Chuck Wagon and Spy Hunter... there are 4-5 boxed games each in a different colour that look to be a series... perhaps not for 2600?

 

Boxed X-man, bunch of Tigervisions... boxed Video Jogger Mat...

 

If anyone finds this place - buy the boxed pirate games for me and I will fix you up for them.

I bought some stuff and posted thread here http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/198052-how-to-tell-if-a-2600-game-is-truly-sealed/

 

looks like the stuff that is 'sealed' really might not be according to some of the members here. Thats why Im trying to see how to truly tell if some of these games that are there are 'sealed' and not new.

 

@nofrills100 what pirate games are you talking about?

Could you please tell us where this estate sale is? Partially so others can maybe check it out, but mostly because this quite possibly was a member here, and knowing the city might be a huge clue to figuring out who it might have been if that is indeed the case.

Knightrider,

The pirate games are in boxes with plain colour spines and a series of stripes across the top. In the video they can be seen on a shelf leading up to the play around titles, and elsewhere too.

(im on a mobile so I can't attach pics - but will find a link with pics.)

Edit: like these in post 77 http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/159137-a-nofrills-collection/page__st__75

Also in the stack of games in the video directly to the right of chase the chuck, there are a bunch of half size boxes - these are also pirates.

Basically there is a good chance they hae v-case cartridges inside (like those in my signature link).

. Sadly, the person who passed was probably a member here.

 

 

Then please tell us where this estate sale is so we can know if it was a member or not, finding a collection like this is an exciting thing but we are for the most part a pretty tight bunch here at Atari Age and would want to know if one of our own has passed.

The Dead Collector: Bring out yer dead.

[a man puts a body on the cart]

Large Man with Dead Body: Here's one.

The Dead Collector: That'll be ninepence.

The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't:I'm not dead.

The Dead Collector: What?

Large Man with Dead Body: Nothing. There's your ninepence.

The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't:I'm not dead.

The Dead Collector: 'Ere, he says he's not dead.

Large Man with Dead Body: Yes he is.

The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I'm not.

The Dead Collector: He isn't.

Large Man with Dead Body: Well, he will be soon, he's very ill.

The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I'm getting better.

Large Man with Dead Body: No you're not, you'll be stone dead in a moment.

The Dead Collector: Well, I can't take him like that. It's against regulations.

The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I don't want to go on the cart.

Large Man with Dead Body: Oh, don't be such a baby.

The Dead Collector: I can't take him.

The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I feel fine.

Large Man with Dead Body: Oh, do me a favor.

The Dead Collector: I can't.

Large Man with Dead Body: Well, can you hang around for a couple of minutes? He won't be long.

The Dead Collector: I promised I'd be at the Robinsons'. They've lost nine today.

Large Man with Dead Body: Well, when's your next round?

The Dead Collector: Thursday.

The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I think I'll go for a walk.

Large Man with Dead Body: You're not fooling anyone, you know. Isn't there anything you could do?

The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I feel happy. I feel happy.

[the Dead Collector glances up and down the street furtively, then silences the Body with his a whack of his club]

Large Man with Dead Body: Ah, thank you very much.

The Dead Collector: Not at all. See you on Thursday.

Large Man with Dead Body: Right.

what's crazy is. I was over my friends house yesterday and he is parting with his whole collection. and his wife said if he would ever happen to pass she would just sell everything at $2.00 bucks a pop??? she doesn't care about any of it. I would say his collection is worth between $35,000 to $45,000.
