masschamber Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 Man, I cannot believe your luck and what all you find in your neck of the woods! I think part of it is the area had a larger population in the 80s, resulting loads of stuff being left in parents home when the kids moved away, then the population growing from people with no attachment to it. you'd be surprised how much of my stuff comes from families from Burma or something selling stuff at garage sales that was there when the moved in, or on the curb being thrown out. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the good salvation army donations comes from the same place. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt2d2 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Awesome! In my opinion, this is the only way to get a game like this. It would be impossible for me to pay regular collector prices for this terrible cart! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_Bill Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Outstanding. I had to check to make sure thIs post wasnt from the 1st LOL. Thats a nice piece that Ill never find for my collection. Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masschamber Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 yeah I'm pretty happy about it, plus my wife just got home and I told her about it. She asked how much I paid for everything, told her 50, she asks how much I could sell it for, so I said a few hundred, maybe 1000 dollars. She asked how much I can sell the extras for (she knows I buy everything I think I can turn a profit on when trying to expand my collection) I told her probably 200 for the other stuff that I already had, so she said, I should keep it, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syzygy1 Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 BTW, for best find ever for me, most of the HTML renditions of the Fox Video Games manuals have this gem at the end: "This manual typed by Cyborg" Wonder if it was a reference to the Titan?
