Not mine, but this looks likely to break into four figures...

Wow, nice!

I remember years ago when I lived back in Pennsylvania, I found a stack of 2600 instructions at a flea market for next to nothing. I didn't even realize what I had until a few months later because I wasn't "in the know" with the 2600. Anyway, I finally found out about Quadrun and I had the original instructions. I had no need for it so I stuck it on ebay, I believe it sold for $80-$90. My first awesome 2600 find. Since then, I have always kept an eye out for Atari stuff.

Awesome! I'm defenitely interested in seeing where this is going to end. About a year ago, I found a loose Quadrun at the yard sale store near my house. It suddenly appeared in the store because I knew their atari inventory really well and needless to say, I bought it immediately for 5 bucks.

Damn, The Yard Sale Store!

That used to be a good place to go for games until they set up a computer with ebay constantly running on it at the register area.

They used to sell the games dirt cheap but now they look it up on ebay first which I guess is smart and I certainly don't blame them but as far as I'm concerned, it's not The Yard Sale Store anymore.

Not to take this too much off topic, but this caught my attention:


This item had been previously listed on
Feb. 18, but was removed by Ebay. I had a statement on my auction about not accepting credit card payments from PAYPAL.

... is there something wrong here? Why is that a bad thing? O_O

Yeah it really does suck now. Guess I got damn lucky that one time. They also had a rubiks cube once for like 15 bucks, but the label was all fucked up and ripped and it looked fugly. Oh well, I did recently get a Might & Magic collection for pc there for 5 bucks complete, so whatever.

And if you can't find the reason in the link, it's because to sell on eBay now and offer Paypal means you MUST accept credit card payments from people, it can't be balance transfer/debit card only.

..But that means you have to 'upgrade' your Paypal account if you're a seller eh... that sucks.
