    after a long long time I found something substantial!

    Labor day weekend the flea market is outside and free to browse and buy, as opposed to the other sunday fleas they have that cost $1 to get in.
    Any way I noticed a guy with a TON of PC hardware and tucked in a corner was a Atari 800XL with 2 drives. I kept it in mind and continued on and then found, at a completely different seller a box of Atari PC carts, there were 12 of them and one 2600 game. so I bought it and then finished up the rest of the flea, came back to the 800XL and bought it from the guy who was REALLY into old PC gaming and he was getting rid of this as a spare, came with 2 drives, one a 1050 and another some Rana something or other later on that week I found a Genesis for cheap and 2 days ago I finally came across a component cable for the OG X-Box at a decent price and picked up another spare NES AC adapter.

    Atari 800XL w/ Controllers, Hookups and 2 drives (bare drives no cables for them) $30
    Atari PC games all loose:
    Peanut Butter Panic
    Movie Musical Madness
    Ernie's Magic Shapes
    Big Bird's Special Delivery
    Frogger
    Miner 2049er
    Pole Position
    Donkey Kong
    Centipede
    Pac-Man
    Qix
    Space Invaders : all plus 2600 Defender $15
    Genesis Model 1 :$1 Loose
    NES AC Adapter : $3
    OG XBOX component cable : $3
    Master System : $20 shipped

    The master system was something I bought a while ago but was just recently able to get to since life has been hectic with family breaking them selves and having strokes and are unwilling to accept help but I bought it as "broken" from a computer hardware liquidator on ebay I buy some things from and it booted up just fine. has Hang On and Safari Hunt built in, cart and card slots work, my guess is they had no way to test so its "broken"

    Side note:
    the 800XL was assembled when I bought it, I took it apart to clean because it smelled like literal ass, i'm also in the process of reversing the yellowing, that's for another post

    Nice find, I rarely ever came across Atari computer stuff in my years of hunting.

    I hit a flea market a little north of Lafayette, LA yesterday and bought these four Super Famicom games. I have no idea what they are, there was a shelf full of assorted games marked $4.99 each, so I picked these four. Maybe I'll post the pic in the Import thread, and hopefully somebody can identify them.

    I also picked up the Up N' Down cartridge for the Colecovision at a GameXchange earlier in the week for $19.99.
