fire_Will Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 I wont divulge how I came upon this stuff but what a find check it out. I came across this women who had a box of video game stuff so I called she had some sega stuff in a box and maybe some atari she wasnt sure. Not really into sega stuff that much but figured what the heck Id drive out to the country. So I get there she leads me to this huge pile of stuff to my disbelief, hers what she had: 5 Sega master systems in the box virtually new they were missing the cartridges for some reason but who cares. 1 Sega master system store display which holds 16 games so you can try them at the store. No games unfortunately. 1 atari 26oo heavy sixer 1 vader unit 1 atari 2600 4 switch woody in box 1 end partially missing end flap 2 4 switch woodys 3 controllers, 1 paddle 1 intellivision blackjack/poker sealed in box 1 pitfall atari home computer game sealed in box 1 sega genesis power base converter 6 powertap controllers in box new 2 turbopad controllers in box new 1 sega genesis team player adapter in box new 1 turbostick controller in box new 1 rapid fire adapter in package misc. loose controllers and couple power supplys And I got it all for 20.00 bucks How sweet!!!!!!

The Historian Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 My guess is he managed to get the ball rolling on it. For the most part when you are at Fleas, Yard Sales, etc., etc. you need to speak up. I can't tell you how many times I've scored some amazing deals that way. This year alone I've picked up a GameCube for $15, PS2 games for $5 a pop, N64 games for $3 each, A box of XE items for free and tons of other deals. Just by asking if they have any video game stuff. I can't tell you how many times I've been at a yard sale and asked and heard this beautiful phrase, "Well I thini I have an old game/system/etc. that has been in the closet for years, let me see if it is still there..." or "Jonny hasn't played that in years, let me go get it..." Wearing an Atari Shirt doesn't hurt either. So ask around, i mean how many people do you work with ir go to school with that have no clue you like this stuff. They may have stuff and/or maybe even know someone who does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
