It looks like this will be a big one folks. Tables are filling up fast (and only $10 for a table!) and there looks to be a whole bunch of new vendors this year. Free to attend too! Your Friendly Neighborhood Sniderman has reserved his table already. I'd love to see the Ohio DP crowd in attendance her and at Cinciclassic later this year (whenever they announce a date).

So, show of hands. Who's coming to CCAG? See the weblink in the first post for updated info!

I'll definitely be at Cinci, but this is a show that I've wanted to go to for a few years now, and haven't been able to make. The date/time looks great though! For now:

Hand raised!

Yeah, I'll probably drive up to this one as well, from Cincinnati. Don't know why I've never gone in the past...

Mr.collection

I will be there, I just have to reserve my tables. Which are you at Sniderman?
I am selling about 1/3 of my collection, mostly Atari and Sega. I will definatly be looking for big lots of NES games.

Sniderman

04-06-2007, 09:26 PM

I will be there, I just have to reserve my tables. Which are you at Sniderman?Table 46, pal. Just needed a lil' one, but it'll be jammed full of the usual Sniderman Deep Dish Discounts TM. (Just ask the Cinci attendees. As the day wanes on, my prices go lower...and lower...and lower to "give it away" levels.) :D

I think I may be able to attend this event. With a 2pm start time I can get a good sleep before making the 2+ hour drive from Detroit.

Mr.collection

04-07-2007, 08:33 AM

I sent the email for tables 34 and 35. MrSmiley381 and I are sharing the tables so he will be there also.
I just don't know which promo shirt to wear, I wore the VB shirt last year, maybe my new Wii shirt.
I love this show for being so close to me, it is still only 20 miles away.

Odds are I'll be there...some friends of my attended a few years back while I was out of town...still kinda miffed about that one...

Not sure whether I should be selling though...I have a ton of Colecovisions and 2600s I want to get rid of...but that's it really...And I'm horribly attached to all my video games...

Mr.collection

04-13-2007, 01:04 PM

I would buy a Colecovision and games off you if you brought one or trade it for some stuff that I will have.

Sniderman

04-13-2007, 01:43 PM

And I'm in the market for a Atari 2600 Jr. (I loves the 'iddle one!)

04-13-2007, 08:34 PM

I'll be there. Tables 18,19 & 20. I'll have an assortment of games Classic to Current. Mike : )

Once again, I will have the record for LONGEST DISTANCE TRAVELED.

Florida........................................... ....................................Ohio

Bear is driving, how can that be?!

Sniderman, do you want a boxed 2600 Jr. or just one to play?

drwily008

04-26-2007, 08:47 AM

BTW- I just registered for tables #43 and #44. It's on like TRON. I am looking foward to seeing everyone again this year!

Wow, Florida that is quite the hike. See ya at the show. Mike : )

04-27-2007, 08:11 PM

Sniderman, do you want a boxed 2600 Jr. or just one to play?Boxed? I can't play it if it's in a box! LOL Nope, just looking for something to hook up here at Sniderville. System, cable, joystick, done-i-o.

I will also have an Atari Jr. for sale/trade. Also lots of common NES and Atari 2600 games. I need to do alot of spring cleaning so stop by tables 4 & 5 for some good deals.

Sniderman

05-09-2007, 12:50 PM

Less than 20 days gang! I'll be bringing my usual assortment of odd-n-ends, as well as systems and games to unload.

And, yes, I'll have plenty of gameclocks to choose from too for gamerooms throughout the area. ;)

Gundam_Pilot_

05-12-2007, 05:27 PM

I too will be there again displaying my controller collection. And selling a ton of NES controllers and games this year. I will have a ton of shit to sale that i got from the service center i bought out and will have some goodies to trade.
I have 27 28 29 this year : D

Unfortunately there did not recieve my request for tables #43 and 44. I will now be in the back room so everybody make sure to come back there and make my long trip from florida worthwhile.

Mr.collection

05-15-2007, 05:25 PM

I want to play Pepsi Invaders, even if it is a boot I can still say I played it on Atari hardware.
I may have a bunch of sealed Atari and NES games there.

jcheatle

05-15-2007, 10:45 PM

Hmmm... with the cancellation of the closer-to-me Erie show, I'll be making the ~3 hour trip, gas prices be damned. NES games, clocks, Coleco and Atari systems... too much stuff that I'd like to pick up. :)

Either way, it'll be a nice road trip and a chance to meet some DPers in person.

Soviet Conscript

05-17-2007, 11:33 PM

i'll be attending. hopefully i'll be able to pick up some tg-16 stuff and maybe a c64 and some other random old computer rpg's

downfall

05-19-2007, 10:23 AM

Well, I put in a request for a few tables in the back room as well. I missed out on tables on the main floor, but it should be a good time anyway.

I'm selling stuff cheap too - I don't want to bring anything home with me that I take.

Only thing that will be a bit pricey is:

NCSX Region Switched Gamecube w/ Nintendo Component cables (it's Platinum too!)

But we'll see how that goes!

Sniderman

05-21-2007, 02:04 PM

Looks like it'll be a full house!

Stop by my table and say "Hey." The Sniderman Deep Dish Discount will be in full force that day.

At the show, you'll be able to buy a copy of Sudoku for NES (and a chance to win a gold copy).

05-24-2007, 12:23 AM

Please do stop by my table and say hi as well! I officially got the last two tables of the show, way in the back arcade room, so don't forget about us back there.

I'll be rocking my swank DP namebadge, and I'll be dishing out the sweet deals as well. I really, really can't bring any of this stuff I'm taking home, so I swear, one of my two tables will be $5 and under goodies, with tons of items for $1. N64 games, Gamecube, PS2, Xbox games, game systems for $5, and so on. Some other goodies priced at $10 and up, but still cheap as free.

I have a nice New Super Mario Bros. standee as well.

And I'm bringing maybe a new video game related art print if I can get them printed in time for the show (I have a few Pac-Man ones left I think from last years ECGX also) - and some video game bead art probably too.

Also, probably 100+ video game magazines, probably something like .25 cents a piece. Mostly Nintendo Power/Game Players, and some odds-n-ends.

Tons of stuff, and I seriously, seriously can't be bringing it home - I don't have room. So if you stop by, be prepared to get more than your money's worth - and I'm sure if you mention that you're from DP, you'll get an even greater hook up!

See you all at the show!

Hi there,

FYI,
At the show, you'll be able to buy a copy of Sudoku for NES (and a chance to win a gold copy).
I also donated a copy of my Pacman4K game for the 2600. No other carts authorized be me will be made of this 4K game. I think it's going to be a part of their auction. You can read more about it on my blog at http://dnsdebro.blogspot.com/2007/05/pacman4k-released.html.

WizDawg

05-24-2007, 01:04 PM

For those who have not attended before the auctions are chinese auctions. At the front of the room they will have the stuff for auction plus a bowl. You buy tickets for a buck and tickets are placed in the bowl. Near the end of the night tickets are pulled and the winners announced. I think you may get 2 or 3 tickets free for just showing up.(i could be wrong though, can't remember the deal)

Will this be available outside of the show? If not, can someone pick me up one? I'll make it worth your effort :D

I'd love to go to the show but I have family stuffs on Saturday.

Mr.collection

05-24-2007, 04:35 PM

Sure I'll pick you up a copy FABombjoy, cause what ever doesn't sell there will be listed here so I am sure I will be making many trips to the post office.
Now I have to finish up gathering all my stuff to sell.

05-24-2007, 09:50 PM

So looking at the chart, that'd be 51 and 52? Just wondering because I'm all for taking some random items off your hands at low, low prices.

I don't have any swank DP name badges personally, so I'll be the bald guy rocking the IUP shirt. See everybody there in two days.

downfall

05-24-2007, 10:19 PM

Actually, I'm tables 55 and 56 - right across from 51/52.

And I'm really serious about not bringing anything home if I can help it. Only way I'm bringing anything home is if I trade an entire box full of stuff to someone for one of a handful of things that I've been holding out on buying! :)

Sniderman

05-24-2007, 10:41 PM

I'm at table 46. Be sure to stop on by!

well, slightly dissapointed at the lack of much turbo stuff but i was able to grab up way more then i expected on my vintage pc hardware list. still kicking myself i didn't grab the $65 x'eye though. kept eyeing downfalls modded cube, it was very tempting.

overall it was alot of fun, well worth the trip.

Mr.collection

05-27-2007, 09:33 PM

Yeah why didn't you buy my JVC. LOL
I just missed the broken Treamcast for $30:angry:

jcheatle

05-28-2007, 12:38 AM

Saturday in Cleveland was a great time. I managed to check off a whole bunch of things on my "to find" list. Among them:

A 2600 and 25 games, 17 games for the NES collection (putting me at 556 total), Mario Baseball, Zelda Four Swords and Metroid Fusion from Downfall's table, a Pac Man clock (a housewarming gift for my friend's new downstairs arcade) from Sniderman, a gray copy of Al Bailey's cool homebrew Sudoku game (#39/100), and a few other odds and ends that I don't even remember right now.

Oh yeah... then I won the gold copy (#4) of the Sudoku game, too. :) That's a fun story since I misheard an early drawing and thought it was gone (it was all I threw tickets in for), wasn't paying attention during the actual drawing, half heard my number and claimed the prize about a second before they drew a new winner. Then my friend who came with me won the pinball machine. Good times on the ride home, I must say.

Disappointments? Not many, though I was hoping to land a Coleco system there and surprisingly, they were pretty much non-existent (or at least *I* didn't see any). Aside of that, it would've been cool to meet Soviet Conscript or Mr. Collection there, if only to put faces to names, and chances are good that I walked right by the both of you. But I did enjoy talking to Downfall and Sniderman in person immensely (the first DPers I can say that about), as well as the guys from the NES World table, so hopefully I can get to some more shows in the future.

For my first decent-sized show, it was top notch.

heh, didn't know that was you. it wasn't really on my top tier of things i was looking for. my plan was to sweep through real quick for anything i really wanted then go back for anything else. not supriseingly it was gone on my return. nice looking system for a good price, like i said i was dissapointed but not suprised.

I was hoping to land a Coleco system there and surprisingly, they were pretty much non-existent

funny, i wasn't looking for one but i had the same thought, saw a few games for it but thats it. there was enough Odessy hardware/software to float a battleship though.

speaking of the auction i'm happy i won my Windows 95 disc, i acually was looking for one.

Mr.collection

05-29-2007, 04:58 PM

Yah there was a ton of Odessy stuff and I didn't sell mine. I was the kid with the Wii shirt on I was walking around more then standing at my tables.

i'm the guy who grabbed that broken treamcast for $30! we talked for a minute as the show was ending. i still haven't gotten it working - i think the customized power board is the culprit, but i haven't messed with it in a while. even though i'm replying to this thread about LAST YEARS CCAG, this year it's on 5/24/08 in cleveland. i'll be there for sure!! it's a great show with friendly people, and they have prizes! yay!

I said the same thing to my friends that came with me. You couldn't turn around without seeing one. I too picked one up along with 41 NES games. Unfortunately, due to forgetting my list, I bought 2 I already have, so I finished at 598 total instead of 600 like I was aiming for.

Still, I thought the vendors were better this year, although there seemed to be fewer, as many vendors had multiple tables. Good show overall, though.

05-25-2008, 10:57 AM

I ended up going with my GF my 2 other friends and one of their GFS.
we all ended up at dave and busters till 12.

I think last year had a bit more variety but I did find most of the things I was looking for.
I needed a new c64 disk drive. I had two and they both stopped working.
I got the a complete 64 set for 5 dollars. I got a disk drive "just tested the drive and it works :)
all the cables, mouse, 1 game and the c64.
the c64 does not work no biggy since I really only need the drive. maybe I could fix the c64 if put some time in to it.

I got some nes games but I did not find the one I was looking for batman return of the joker.

I got a cheap nes game genie I plan to gut and use as an adapter to get my powerpak nes flash cart working on my RGB modded nes. i hope ;)

any one know what the HD ready atari 5200 had done to it?

My main complaint is some people would take a bath before coming to the show.
the smell almost killed me and my GF.

vgc

05-25-2008, 01:26 PM

I had great fun at the show. Thanks to those who covered my tables for me to get more BEER, and let some out : ) Heres some things I was able to purchase when I was able to get away from my tables :

3 Gameboy/GBColor Pokemon Games loaded with maxed out Pokemon 5.00 each
Atari 2600 6 Game Switcher 15.00
Sega Channel 10.00
Sega Game Cart Chuck Rock 2 3.00
NES Blaster Master 2.00
I am sure i will find more when I unpack later today.

Next Event will be run by Myself and Big Matt Teske ( Osmodiar Games ). The show will now be a twice a year event and have Longer Hours, Most Likely 12-8. The Location and Floor Plan will remain the same. Any Ideas/Input would be greatly appreciated and can be e-mailed to me directly at mgedeon216@aol.com. Next Show will be Sunday OCT 12th 2008 ( BROWNS are off they have a Monday Game ) and I will be Donating a New Sealed Limited Edition Mountain Dew XBOX System to be given away. The Next Show after that will be May 23, 2009. Hope to see you all at the future shows. Mike : )

Mr.collection

05-25-2008, 05:05 PM

I know there were Colecos and 5200s everywhere.
The "HD ready" 5200 did not have any mods to it, but I think Soviet Conscript bought it.
It was cool to see that boxed Adam.
I got:
Famicom $20 just found out that the last 3 digits in the serial are 666 lol
Master to Game Gear converter $10
Stack-Up and Tom Sawyer for the NES $8

I was in the Nintendo rehab t-shirt in case any of you are wondering.

Soviet Conscript

05-25-2008, 07:52 PM

yhea, i bought the "HD ready" 5200, nothing done to it, it was just a joke.

also picked up a nice boxed odyssey 2 from mr. collection.

also ended up grabbing a boxed C64c as well as a boxed disk drive for $20 and finally got my hands on a commodore monitor. i was pretty happy overall and i have to agree there was a bit more variaty last year with stuff avalible.

was kinda hoping to find an Amiga 1200 or a apple II though

05-25-2008, 11:29 PM

Wow, I really gotta get to more of these :)

I got around 34 games covering just about everything, including 3 for NES (tough with me sitting at around 716 or so) a Lost Vikings 2 for Snes, Bouncers for Sega CD (not worth much, but I loved it when it was called Basketball Sam and Ed on C64 ;) and an Odyssey 3000 in Box, along with some more Lynx goodness, some complete Saturn stuff, Spy vs Spy for Master system (2p FTW), Star Wars Arcade for 5200, some complete DC games that were 2 for $5 (Confidential Mission, I've missed you so ;) and a Jp import of Faselei for a buck.

I'm a happy camper, though I saw another NES game I didn't have get sold for $2 bucks right in front of me :( but it was to a nice dude, so oh well.

Game Zone in Erie is planning on a fall convention in the area, I'll post if I get more details. PM me if you are an interested vender (I'm helping Tom at Game Zone set up this year.)

Yay CCAG! Next year, I'll be ready ;)

Thanks for the kind words and sorry. :) I missed you at the drawing afterward because my friends only wanted to stay for the big prizes we threw in for, but shoot me a PM if you want.

As for Erie... depending on when it's at, we discussed grabbing a table to get rid of some random doubles and such, so I might be interested. We'll see. I wound up buying one game twice on Saturday (second time for only $1) and doubling up on 3 from my previous collection due to lack of a list, so I'm only at 596 NES. Boo-urns.

And speaking of Dreamcast games in your post, that's one thing I think I saw very little of. Somebody had a boxed Dreamcast keyboard (maybe it was at Mr. Collection's table?) that I considered picking up, but I waited too long. Figured I didn't have Typing of the Dead right now anyway.
