1 Colecovision console complete in box with 28 carts

1 Coleco Atari adapter complete in box

1 Coleco Super Action Controllers complete in box

1 Coleco Roller Controller New in box

1 Atari 2600 Darth Vader System with 12 games

3 Atari 7800 systems with a total of 23 carts

2 7800 consoles for spare parts

2 different lots of Coleco games for a total of 30 carts

2 different Atari game lots for a total of 33 carts

14 Atari carts at a local trade center

2 Atari Track-Balls New in box

9 7800 carts from mcgrail0007

plus around 25 or so other carts from various sources

 

good thing my tax return is coming soon

It took you 2-3 weeks to accumulate that? I used to pick up that much in 1-2 days of garage-sailing. You get the stuff when you can get it.

You might want to join Gaming Addicts Anonymous (GAA!) because you won't get any help here. We're all in denial and haven't even made our way to step one yet.

Are you actually playing any of this newly acquired stuff?

[chrishicks]

most of the stuff is or will be used. of course all 3 adam systems aren't being used. I have 1 standalone system hooked up in my spare bedroom. the other standalone is being saved as a backup. this goes the same for the Odyssey systems. some of the stuff of course is just impulse buys. all of the games will get used. I'm trying to get all the games I used to have as a kid back in my collection. and can you really ever have too many controllers? I got pretty good prices on most of this stuff. for example I only paid 35.00 for 1 of the complets adam standalone systems.
