I have a simple but weird issue which anyone that has Atari 2600 games might also come across this problem. I have a bunch of Rare 1 games which I'll list below. What do I do with them? I know people use them to make home brews with them. Here is a list:

1. Pac-Man x11
2. Combat x12 (one with the Gate Fold Box)
3. Asteroids x10 ( 3 in Box )
4. Circus Atari x3
5. Breakout x2
6. Video Olympics x2
7. Video Pinball x2
8. Casino x2
9. Defender x3
10. Basketball
11. Berzerk
12. Vanguard

You could avoid buying more if you dislike having so many duplicates of R1's, though bulk buys can be tough to ignore. Some suggestions:
1) Build a coffee table
2) Create some necklace bling
3) There's a site that purchases and makes stuff from old carts
4) See if a homebrewer could utilize them
5) Slowly sell them to new-comers to the retro/Atari community
6) Donate to gaming conventions or local clubs
7) Throw them at a neighbors barking dog

Sell them off to homebrewers. That or give/sell at a cheap price to people.

Most retro-gaming stores will only give you a quarter for those titles....best to sell or give to homebrewers or someone just starting out collecting

wait till you come across a cheap 2600 system and buy it. Then add some of those titles to the system and sell it as a package on ebay or something.

I could use most of those actually :)

If you have anything crafty to think up with them it would be cool. Don't want to build something? Sell them off.

Actually that is what swlovinist is going to do for me this week. I traded him a boxed Video Arcade 2 for a 4 Switch and he is going to sell it with my extra joysticks and 50 games that weren't the commons.

I might able to sell them. I am not sure yet but I'll let people know when or if I do sell them.
