Well, I thought I only did marginally well, buying a pre-NES bundle of games/systems off this guy for $50. However, I may have done better than I thought...

Hardware:

Atari VCS 2600 (woodgrain 4-switch) CIB with all docs, including the Atari Force DC comic, manuals, catalog, and receipt from Montgomery Ward for $135 (!!!)

ColecoVision CIB w/ manual, catalog, all rather nice

ColecoVision Expansion Module #1 CIB w/ manual


Software:

Coleco -
Donkey Kong - loose
Smurfs - loose
Ladybug - loose

Atari 2600 (all loose w/ manual) -
Maze Craze
Demons to Diamonds
Pac-Man
Yar's revenge
Asteroids
Warlords
Armor Ambush
Gopher
Air Sea Battle
Combat
Home Run
Defender
Space Invaders
Star Raiders (w/ touch pad controller)
Space War
Missle Command
Frogger
Space Combat
Reactor
Pong Sports
Wizard of Wor
Solar Fox
Mountain King
Omega Race
Tunnel Runner
Blueprint
Vanguard
Battlezone
Pole Position
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Skiing
Pitfall!
Freeway
Fire Fighter
Subterrania
Cosmic Ark
Donkey Kong
Riddle of the Sphinx
Exocet (by Panda)
Sea Hawk (by Panda)


So here's the real question, the Exocet carts are basically blank carts with a cheap spine label attached. Is this how all Panda carts are? There's no residue on the front side to denote a label was ever there... both are $35/R7s in the guide... if they're real.

Yeah, a lot of Panda titles (http://www.atariage.com/software_list.html?SystemID=2600) were released with only an end-label, including both of the ones you got. Panda wasn't exactly known for their quality.

After reading Adam's post, I was inspired to go check a second hand store near my house on the way to the hardware store. I made a tremendous find there. I will post about it tomorrow once I've got it home. The shop owner wanted me to come in to get it on sunday while the shop is closed, since it's large and at the back of his shop. He's going to have to rearrange the shop temporarily so I can get it out to my wife's car. Woo. This item is going to be the centerpiece of my entire collection.
