Finally had some luck in the wild

[jesusc]

On a whim I stopped into a "trading post" today, and amid the vastly overpriced systems, I found a box of Atari carts. I expected to find the usual assortment of Space Invaders and pacman, but I noticed a cart I hadn't seen before. Digging through the box, i found nine more titles. I asked the guy how much the carts were, and he said $3 a piece. i asked if he could do any better if I bought ten. He said $20 for all. I said I could live with that.

I got Mountain King, Sky Skipper, Private Eye, Lost Luggage, Space Canyon, Tac-Scan, Taz, Name this game, Miner 2049er Vol II, and Cosmic Commuter.

I know most aren't all that special, but not a bad find I thought, and certainly the best I've done in years.

That is a great find! Miner II is worth well more than $20 alone!

You did really good i would have got them at $3 each. Really nice finds! Miner 2049er vol II is worth alot more than $20.00 by it self.

I just noticed there is a whole thread devoted to this kind of thing, so i apologize for posting here if it offends anyone. I was just really excited.

As an aside, I didn't know what they were worth at the time, I just don't like paying $3 for an atari cart, especially when the guy more than likely paid a quarter a piece for them if that.

That is a great find.

Miner II is a hard one to find. You should be very happy.

Certainly a nice find in the WILD I will say. Not everyday you walk into a flea market, garage sale or thrift shop and loate these specific titles, ALL AT ONCE and for theat LIVABLE PRICE!

Congrats!
