I just was at my local salvation army where I was shocked to find they had some atari games in. This was only the second time in 3-4 years that I have found any. I check the titles, nothing but commons. Only label that stands out is Racquetball. So, I grab that one and 2 others I didn't have. I go to check out and she tells me $2.99 each. As soon as I hear that I put them all back. I never pay more than $1 for atari game unless I suspect they are rare.
I get home and check how much the games are in the DP guide. Racqetball $6/R3, seaquest $6/ R2 and finally much to my suprise Track & Field $25/ R5+. :o I nearly pissed myself. :( I had it in my hands and put it back. The only reason I picked it up because it had a different label almost like 7800 cart but it sounds like any other dirt common cart.

I then proceed to drive back to see if it is still there. The hours are 9-7pm. I get there at 5:35pm. New sign posted on the door New summer hours open 9-5:30pm. >:( >:(
The only positive thing is that it could still be there in the morning since it was close to closing when I was there. I will be there at 9:00am!! >:(

The morals of the story: You only regret what you don't buy & The DP guide, Don't leave home without it!!

I know I thought the same thing about Track and Field. I even have to cool 3 button blue controller for the game.

Also does anyone have a TRON arcade stick for their atari? I got one but havent seen another one in a long time

Yea I was at a yard sale and they had like 5 Genny/SNES games nothing looked to rare (or good for that matter) but i noticed math Blaster Episode 1 for the genesis so i bought it since i remembered it was R6 or 7 and it had the case and instructions but i saw No Escape for the SNES but i wasnt sure if it was rare so i didnt get it then i looked at the list and its an R7 but it was like 10 at night when i looked at the list so im out of luck now i guess

Is the price in the DP guide for the cart only or do you need the joystick??
