Ever seen thousands of 2600 carts?

[Godzilla]

Shameless off-topic-ish (LOTS of 2600 here!) plug.

 

Most of the people I chat with here at Atari Age are in this forum, so I felt it at least

understandable being here.

 

The wife wants to have a baby, so I'm selling my room!

I'm still dizzy/slightly nauseuos, but there it is, for all the world to see... My lifes dream

of running my own 2600 store, for sale ... I have to go...

Jeesh...well, I'm sorry that you have to do this...it looks like you have a wonderful collection. And I probably would have bought from your store..too bad you're not selling anything individually, as that trackball for the 5200 I want..

 

Anyway, if you need a shoulder to cry on, we're all here for yah.

That sucks that you had to get rid of your big sexy's... I feel your pain as I recently just sold my rarest games...

 

Well, good luck with the baby!

[Lord Helmet]

Jeez...are you keeping anything?

[Godzilla]

Yea, that room is all the inventory I had been building up to start my own store with, but obviously failed in the execution of said goal. So now I must part with it. But I still have my personal Big Sexy :-) Can't take away a man's big sexy!

Good, else the point of this would all be kind of lost.

time to walk alone on the boulevard of broken 'owning my own classic gaming store' dreams. Thanks. It's heavy, but I think it's a good trade of one dream for

another. I've always wanted my own spawn, who will say to other children in the kindergarten, 'the atari 2600 pwns j00r lame psux10!'

[classicgamingguy]

Awww. You're going to make me cry..stop it!

 

Seriously, yeah, that's true. Although I have no children of my own, I helped raise one for many, many years. Ahh, it was great to help him get to be the derelict...........er.........achieving young man he is today!

[attendo]

LOL, you must keep at least an Atari for the baby to play with when he/she is older.

[Chickybaby]

Oddly enough, we bid on your collection for the same reason you are selling it...

 

We want to start a family and it would be a good stay-at-home buisness plus I'd be on bed rest for health reasons/conditions and it would probably take 9 months to organize, test and catalog everything,lol.

Sadly, it will (hopefully for you anyway) most likely go way out of our affordability range at the moment. But, ya never know. At least we got the first bid in and it felt good for a moment.

Some of that stuff like the intv boxed Diner might do well if it was auctioned by itself.

He knew that if he sold everything single, he'll be making at least 3x more money.

 

But at this point, its not money that counts, its getting it out of there.

[the 5th ghost]

Is it me, or is that a Darth Vader collector's case in there?

[Godzilla]

yes. Also, you can see the hilts of some of my claymore collection, gathered from various highland games. And the auction text notes that the Vader case (which still has all my childhood star wars figures in it,) and the Claymore's are not included :-)

[yuppicide]

Pretty sweet deal that you're selling a "a room in your house". When I win the auction I'm gonna chop the room off and bring it to the city landfill. The games though I'll keep.

As a new father, I'd say it's the money that counts, especially if the kid isn't even here yet. I've dropped $150 at Costco a couple times now for formula and diapers

Just a note to let you know I will be adding stuff as I remember/come across it, at the bottom of the auction page. Thanks!

[thegamezmaster]

Sorry to hear about having to get rid of all that stuff. I know how you feel, I had to do the same thing and regretted it ever since.

[Brockton]

Gah, that sucks. Hope you get a good price for your stuff and you get that baby you want. ; )

[Godzilla]

Well, I hope I don't regret it in the future :-) I still have 2600s for my kids to play with :-)

 

Yea, the better the price I get on the auction, the less dog food I will have to feed my baby so bid high

[SteveW]

I wonder how much you could have gotten for it all if you sold it to an already existing classic game store? Like Sean Kelly's store 4Jays.

[sandmountainslim]

My wife is also in the "Babymania" stage I shall probably give in but unless I am hard against a wall the videogame stuff is off limits.

Wow, Sean Kelly owns 4Jays? Has anyone told Jay Colen and his family that their store really belongs to a guy thousands of miles away?

[Godzilla]

Well I hope their store sees and bids on my auction :-)

[SteveW]

Huh, I always thought that Sean Kelly owned 4Jays. That's what I've read before.
