Crazy Climber Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Just curious...what was the first thing you bought here? Mine was Loch jaw and Music Machine form @AtariAger way back in '06. My second was Quadrun and Water world from @ntavio Had to send them both money orders since I didn't have PayPal yet, seems like so long ago... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeatari1 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 The first thing I bought (quickly goes to PMs and checks) was an Opal Rotary Controller from @Gummy Bear. I love it and still play Tempest 2000 with it exclusively. Only bought it back in '19 so not that long ago (I lurked here for about 15 years or so before making an account). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydro Thunder Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 My first buy were two 2600 games, Space Jockey and Fast Eddie, both recommended and extremely fun, from @the.golden.ax 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdm101518 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 (edited) My first transaction here was that I sold boxed copies of Custer's Revenge and Beat 'Em and Eat 'Em together for $60 shipped back in 2006! I hope buyer still has them! I suppose what goes around comes around though, because my first purchase was Dragon Force (Saturn) for $20 that same year.

Yeah, if we're going back to 2006 for "sold" items I probably could have paid off my house with the stuff I let go. Prices have changed a LOT in 15 years haha 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bixler Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 A 2600 Jr. from bennybingo with some games. I'm indebted to him for starting me down a path that has led to the beefed-up Atari setup I have today. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfy62 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 It was probably a very cool sign from Crazy Climber!? But for certain the lone transaction I can remember was buying a working Arcadia 2001 system 2 months ago that's puts my multicart to use. Great purchase! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+thanatos Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 My first purchase (at least according to old PMs) was a box of random 80's crap because a G1 Jetfire was in it. The second one was three tabletop games. Pac-Man, Q*Bert and Scramble. -edit And the first purchase was 2008. Wow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That guy was a treasure trove of good stuff. I purchased a broken Atari 2600 motherboard and a handfull of 2600 carts. I wanted the board for the cart slot which I eventually used to mod a Flashback 2. I even found the pics: 2600 board: Freebie games: Purchased games: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monzamess Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 According to my messages, it was an Entex Turtles tabletop in 2009. It was literally THE one I had as a kid--I sold it on eBay and a few years later it turned up here, so I had to buy it back! It had distinctive damage to it so I knew it was the same one. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluejay Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 (edited) My first attempted purchase was a pile of Apple II disks from 8_is_enuff. He backed out though, and I never bought them. I believe this was late 2019. My first successful purchase was a Super Nintendo bundle from HoshiChiri. Great price, great games, and things that were supposed to be broken turned out to work. This was January 2020. Edited March 20, 2021 by bluejay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.BAZ Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 my first PURCHASE through the marketplace was Fun House & Gradius for NES (from TurdFurgeson in 2014) However, I did have one other transaction before that: I traded Beamrider (5200) for Sentinel (2600). That was atariBrian. Another however -- I had previously picked up a homebrew game from the store (Ladybug) and done a couple transactions via PM's with a fellow high score club gamer. That was fun! (and thanks again CrazyClimber for the deals I got from you!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwelsh Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 My first purchase in here was Atarimania by @Red 5. Everything was great. Probably spent over a grand in the Atariage store at this point too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassicGMR Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 (edited) I don't remember what games they were but I think I bought some 2600 carts from johnnya back in October 2008 - about 2 months after I joined the site.

the_wizard_666 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I joined about 3 years ago (been on other forums for around 15 years or so, but relatively new here). Bought two or three lots of 2600 carts, and just kinda disappeared. Came back on last month and bought some C64 games. All four transactions were fantastic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazykong Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 (edited) Big Box of crap 2 @the.golden.ax 01/2011 second item Atari Jaguar system w/ box and instructions original RF adapter original AC adapter original controller original pack-in game - Cybermorph w/ instructions 2nd Atari controller with box game - Iron Soldier w/ box and instructions & overlay game - Flip Out w/ box and instructions game - Dino Dudes w/ box and instructions game - Club Drive w/ box and instructions game - Cannon Fodder w/ box and instructions game - Alien vs. Predator game - Hover Strike The system and the games with boxes were bought brand new by me and are still in new condition (the boxes show some wear). I just tested this system yesterday and it works great. I hate to sell this system but I play it so little that I can't justify keeping it. I would like $135 for everything. That includes domestic (lower 48 states) shipping. I will accept cash, check (must clear before shipping) or silver (4 ounces). Paypal will cost $140 cause it is more of a pain for me. @outburst402 I purchased after Crazy Climber post it was a good deal. 12/2011 Edited March 21, 2021 by crazykong 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
