I found some more atari games today at the flea market. 130 to be exact. And theres even a story to go with it. I was flea marketing for about an hour today and was pissed that i hadnt found anything worth my money. Then before were about to leave I meet up with a guy i've talked to before (and i think bought games from). He had all 130 atari games. So I offered him 50 for all the games!
Then he gave me that look, (are you out of your fucking mind)? Then he offered me 80 and i could have all the games. I told him i didn't have 80 on me and that i would buy them once i get the money ( I was serious about buying the games for 80). Then not even 2 minutes later, one of the guy's kids came up to me tugging on my shirt and said, "My daddy wants to take you up on your offer".
I was surprised that the guy would accept 50 for it all when i agreed to 80! But I went back there and got all 130 games for only 50! Out of all those games there was about a dozen or so I didn't already have. The rest i'm saving for when i open my own booth (hopefully next weekend).
Some of the ganes I found (and still needed) are, Swordquest Earthworld, Fire Fighter, Venture (with a picture), and, Midnight Magic. There were a few others i cant remember.
So how did I do? If you do the math, then you'll figure that i paid approx. .38 cents per game! Considering that most atari games will sell for a dollar or more, I feel that that's one of the BEST deals i've gotten in quite a few monts.
if they were all common thats a good deal if there was anything rare it would be even better. most common go for 50 cents or so
