I began the hunt on Friday.

Scroll to the bottom for the quick and dirty :)

A hunt that was to become a wonderful adventure.

The trail of the hunt began early last week, when I stumbled upon a large cache of Atari 2600 games at my local Salvation Army. I was missing only 1 (Tron Deadly Discs) from the many dozens, and so I purchased it (for a paltry .49 cents)

Alas, the scent of my prey was upon my nose, and what did I do, but return the next possible day I could, to find a number of colecovision games hiding in the very same wilds as those tricky atari 2600 games. Then, spying through the gates of the sorting area, I spotted 2 Namco Guncon's sitting in the top of a box! I quickly caught them, with the assistance of the sorter, but he refused to show me what was left in the box. And so I left, with 2 guns, happy. (1.99 each) And all was well.

Until friday, when I just knew there was something out there. I could *feel* it, under my skin, crawling, slithering, calling out to me. I quickly jumped into my car and sped across town to await the opening of Value Village. Lo and behold, there were *10* Intellivision games, boxed, in the back! A quick swipe and they were mine. (1.99 each)

Yet, there was still something in the air, and on my way home, I chanced a visit to the local swap'n'shop, to find 5 boxed nes games, including 2 color dreams carts! (3.00 ea)

Happy, I succumbed to sleep, waking late in the afternoon on Saturday, I again ventured to the very same Salvation Army mentioned above, to find a complete copy of California Games for master system. Sadly, there was also the shell of an Enduro racer. Speaking again with the sorter, he mentioned that there had been a bunch not hours before. (0.99) I went home feeling somewhat defeated, yet hopeful for another day of hunting.

Today, I made a quick trip out to Value Village again, nothing. Goodwill, nothing. Stopped at Cash Converters and picked up 3 loose Atari 2600 games. (0.99 each)

Monday 9 Sept:
Tron Deadly Discs - 0.49

Thursday 12 Sept:
2 Namco GunCon's - 1.99 each

Friday 13 Sept:
10 Intellivision games boxed:
Astrosmash, Boxing, LV Poker & Blackjack(x2), NFL Football, Snafu, Space Battle, Space Hawk, Skiing, Utopia - 1.99 each.
5 NES games boxed:
Captain Comic, Raid 2020, Air Fortress, World Grand Prix, The Last Starfighter - 3.00 each

Saturday 14 Sept:
California Games (Master System) Complete - 0.99

Sunday 15 Sept:
Freeway, Circus Atari, Night Driver - 0.99

Pretty good week for me :)

He means that your finds are not that good, but don't fret. Most of us don't care so keep it up. One day you will find a rare game and we will all hate you. :wink:

[omnedon]

Got a complete C-64 with commodore monitor, all cables and power brick, manuals for each component, and a huge (HUUUGE!!!) floppy drive for it with a games floppy in it. Plus 3 cheapo joysticks for it. All working, all in MINT for $20CDN ($12USD) at a garage sale. I'm giving it to the bro in law, 'cause I have to draw the line somewhere, and old computers is that line. Consoles ONLY!! =)

Got a complete NES ( I already have one) with gun and the ROB robot.. COMPLETE with Gyromite, and all of the bots extra pieces, and the two spinning 'top' things, plus manuals, and a few other games, and a NES stick. I bought it for the bot, and will refurb the NES (so no blinky) and Ebay that sucker for what I paid or more.

When I started collecting, I never dreamed it would make money. I'm consistently ahead, maybe I'm not buying enough "rare" stuff from Ebay... =)

[scooterb23]

Went out today...found a thrift store without any games at all!! Not even a Combat in the 8-tracks...(although they had a lot of Billy "Crash" Craddock). All I managed to pick up was an electronic game called "Maniac" for 69 cents...I don't know if it works yet...

[omnedon]

I got a mint complete Snatcher, with the foam insert still in it. $1CDN.
The rarity list says I'm a lucky Bugger!! =)
