Ooooh a find!

[Atari-Jess]

Your hero and mentor, Atari-Jess has struck an awesome find,

 

Vulture Attack

 

for the big ol' price of $0.00!

 

I also picked up a boxed 7800 for 5 dollars

 

You may now return to singing me songs of praise.

 

 

or not.

[Atari-Jess]

So I was hunting (for atari stuff) around the northern woods of central Ontario.

 

And suddenly I come across a hidden village of stores all filled with old, useless, and interesting things.

 

I dug around past the boxes of adult magazines and national geographics and then suddenly I came upon a black cartridge with a handle.

 

Upon seeing the handle I suddenly freaked, RARE! it couldn't be!

 

I carefully flipped it over and lo and behold there she was, a K-tel original.

 

While this was the only atari cartridge in sight (there were several intellivision carts, bleh) I did manage to secure a funtastic 7800.

 

There was a 2600jr for $18 . It made no sense to me at the time and

it never will.

 

But I made off like a bandit (a paying bandit of course) and was very pleased with the awesome bounty I had secured.

Where aboots in Canada are you my friend? Was that a Value Village by chance?

[Atari-Jess]

It was some small antique store out in the boonies actually.

 

I've had terrible luck finding anything Atari in value villages

they've become very overpriced.... 15 dollars for an NES controller!!!

[Atari-Jess]

since I cant seem to edit posts....

 

as I said, I'm in Central Ontario, south of Muskoka, north of Toronto

terribly rural in most places save for a few decent sized urban centres.

 

I often forget to go to the cgcc. I'm rather forgetful as I'm so busy...

[ATARIPITBULL]

How about a picture of your new stuff?

 

[Saikyo]

Vulture Attack, FOR FREE!?

 

Whoa! I cant beleive they just gave you that cart, just goes to show that some

dont know how muck money these things are worth!

 

PS I would have freaked too if I saw something like that Nice one!

[Mindfield]

Holy crap... I've got a vulture attack arriving in a couple of days, but I paid a hell of a lot more than that for it. :-) Damn nice find, Jess. :-)

I found a Vulture Attack manual a while back and traded it to someone on here. I had like 10 PM's the second I announced I had found it. I ended up trading it for some XL/XE carts. The best "useless piece of paper" trade I ever made!! I know one thing is for sure... free is about the only way I would ever want to acquire a cart of that level of rarity. What does this cart sell for these days??

[Atari-Jess]

As soon as I get my cameras mini usb cable back on my computer, I'll share photos, which reminds me

 

I got a "broken" lynx for 2 dollars!

 

the video cable was loose, I finally have a lynx! after almost two years of having games + case and no lynx to play!

 

Im so pleased!

That manual would have been sweet.

 

This is pretty average for Vulture Attack. I got lucky and scored mine for about half that when no one was looking.

You can get those regularily on eBay. He's always got those up.

[Mock]

yeah but he said his broken lynx wasn't really broken...just a video cable loose...so thats a steal...$2 for a working lynx? i'd take it

[Whisper]

I got a nice haul of mostly PAL carts recently. I got the commons mostly for 1 euro a piece and the Nuts cart cost me a bit more I also traded a really cool V-Case NTSC 4in1 (Freeway, Bowling, Tennis, Fishing) pirate cart for a double NTSC Pitfall I had. I have a weak spot for pirate carts with switches Pictures included. It's great being a starting collector, so many games to find cheap that you don't have yet!

[Whisper]

From this lot I have doubles of Skiing, Robot Tank and Realsports Soccer (all are PAL format) for those interested.

Could be. I do have lots of spare used padded envelopes so that's for free. I'm not home until Friday. Send me a PM with which ones you are interested in and I can check out postage for you. But I can not do that before friday.

What's up with the Vulture Attacks in Canada? This find, and both the eBay auctions linked to...

maybe I need to take a trip to Canada for some cartridge hunting!
