heh oh Fox lake, stay away from that music recyclery thinggy. Last time i was in there(and that will be the last time) a kid was trying to sell back the games that he stole from the place. well ...wow what an idiot.

decent resale shops in mchenry and richmond(where i work), that i sometimes find a stray atari and games.

Well, I was born and raised in Chicago for the first 32 years of my life, but now I live in Woodstock, IL (No, not THAT Woodstock!!!), which is about halfway between O'Hare and Rockford, and a scant 15 miles from the Cheddar Curtain. (Wisconsin, for the uninitiated...) BTW Chunky, where are those resale shops in McHenry and Richmond? I may be interested in those...

i could not name you names but the ones i know of in this area are. Genoa City, there are 2 in this little town, found a celoco with the 2600 adapter and 30+ games for around 20 bucks. one in richmond on 12 south of 173. mchenry there is one on 31 south of 120. 1 in antioch on 173, one in waconda on 176 east of 12. 6 in palatine area. it never ends. garage sales in the newer sub divisions are the better finds, people in their 30's buying houses. they had ataris, NESs in there youth ready to sell.

the biggest find.....every year when Arlington park closes, they have one of those electronics wholesale things or whatever, cost ya 10 bucks to get in, and there you can find some really horrible electronics for cheap. Well they do have games. last year i saw a virtual boy for $15, and they had a ton of them unopened. i picked one up, wondering if somethings wrong, went to kmart, got batteris, checked it in the car and alright. went back and bought about 18 of them, whatever i could fit in the car. and sold them on ebay each anywhere from 30 to 60. they had bought a wharehouse full. but i would think or think that this is a bunch of dealers who travel, so they might be gone this year, who knows.

*digs up old threads*

Come Spring I would like to put and Ad in 2 local papers(cuz it's fricken cheap) Wanted your old dusty video games or something like that.

Anyone want to go in on this, I did this with my neighbor about 8 years ago, had sooo many bites, didn't have the cash flow to cover most of it, even if worth it on the resale side. Might be able to dig up some stuff? Ya never know.

I don't know if many of you know, i know i didn't, but Sean Kelly has opened a Classic Gaming store in Norridge. I guess it covers about all the systems, and even open on sundays, so i'll have to check it out this weekend or so.

This is certainly news to me! Can you post an address and phone number for this store? I would DEFINITELY want to check it out!
