Title: Not really a trophy, but a nice pick up !
Post by: J_Collectibles on June 02, 2007, 03:06:42 AM
While out on the hunt for some games at the local flea market I found some old Atari games boxed in Percfect condition 10 of them. So I called this local collector who buys ALL GAMES, since I dont collect Atari, when I call his house his daughter answered the phone and sadly told me he had passed away 3 days ago and they was getting rid of his entire collection. She invited me up to check out what they wasnt gonna sell on ebay. I looked just through the NES and SNES they told me to make them an offer and I felt bad so I told them to tell me a price after about 10 mins of looking his son told me $1200 dollars. I accepted, could have bargained but his father was a GOOD MAN.   

So to make a long story short here is what I got Not in to much detal :

1052 loose NES games  including 52 mario/duck hunt
114 Boxed NES games
352 loose SNES games
74 Boxed SNES games
130++ NES manuals
57 SNES manuals
10 complete NES (7 with guns, 1 Boxed )
10 complete SNES
75+ controllers (2 R.O.B's)
4 complete SEGA's lol had to through that in !!

Think I got a Good deal .. ?

Yes, I would say that was a good deal. I'm sure myself or someone else on here would give a better and more accurate answer if you listed what games you received. Are you planning on keeping them? & which Atari games did you get? I collect for the Atari. =)

1500 games at less than a dollar a peice with a bunch of extra goodies like ROBs and 25 consoles?  What a horrible deal.  I'll take it off your hands for $800 and you can cut your losses.

Wow nice haul. What part of Va you live in? I use to live in Va (Since birth) and i have never really came across any old school games in those conditions except for a guy in Norfolk who owned a store at tje Flea but most of his NES games didn't have boxes.
