birdie3 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 I just found a Mr. Do's Castle in the wild. After 15 years of collecting, this is easily one of my better hauls of all time. I grabbed Wizards of Wor, Cosmic Creeps, and Mr. Do's Castle for $20 CDN. Sorry.. It's been a while since I've posted in this forum. What a heck of a way to make a come back. Hold the applause. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high voltage Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Wow, good score indeed. Especially Mr Do's Castle included. Cosmic Creeps is a good game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIO2 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Nice! Brags should include photos and possibly eye witness accounts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiddlepaddle Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Where is "the wild" these days? seems like everything has gone through at least two hands anymore... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdie3 Posted October 2, 2016 Author Share Posted October 2, 2016 Where is "the wild" these days? seems like everything has gone through at least two hands anymore...Believe it or not, I bought these at a retro-gaming store in an obscure mall in Ontario. The clerk said that they bought 280 carts off some guy the other day. Kinda cool.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdie3 Posted October 6, 2016 Author Share Posted October 6, 2016 Ugh. I went into the same place today to see if they had anything else. The clerk pulls out their cherries from their selection from behind the counter and asks me which ones I wanted. IIRC they had Private Eye, HERO, Star Wars Arcade, Montezuma's Revenge, Inca Gold, Dragon Treasure, Master Builder, Beamrider, a few other Sellers carts, all loose.. They wanted $200 for the bunch. A bunch o' medium rares. I was completely annoyed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Master Building is a moderate rare these days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+KaeruYojimbo Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Master Building is a moderate rare these days? I think it's more common in Canada than the US. I didn't think it was that much more common though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high voltage Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 (edited) Wow, rip-off, although Montezumas Revenge is rare(ish) and Master Builder too. HERO, Beamrider, Private Eye are also Activision classics. Star Wars TAG is great. Edited October 8, 2016 by high voltage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+GoldLeader Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Wow, rip-off, although Montezumas Revenge is rare(ish) and Master Builder too. HERO, Beamrider, Private Eye are also Activision classics. Star Wars TAG is great. My last 2 ebay purchases for Atari were Star Wars TAG and Montezuma's Revenge.... Roadrunner brought them to my (well everyone's) attention with a status update... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdie3 Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share Posted October 10, 2016 Everybody is different in terms of what they look for. Whenever I used to come across big collections like this, I would pick up as much of it as I could, pick out all the cherries and buy extras for trading. When I came across this pile at the retro video game store last week, I was strictly thinking about grabbing stuff for trades on account of the fact that I already had copies of all of these games. Furthermore, I try to only grab games that are worth playing because (lets face it) some of the old VCS games really stink to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdie3 Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share Posted October 10, 2016 Master Building is a moderate rare these days?I suppose not. It's not the first time I've seen it around here. Mind you, it's been a very long time. These appear to have been much more readily available in Canada for whatever reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
