Applehead's ongoing finds

in Finders Keepers
I stopped at  a local thrift store on my way home from work today and spotted a storage bin marked "old  atari's"  $25.  The bin lid  was taped on to keep people from removing the contents; i could barely lift it up to peek inside.

Peeking in , i saw that it was full of atari 2600 games, so i bought it.  I opened it when i got home and counted 64 atari 2600 games, 1 batman beyond nintendo 64 game, and some random manuals and posters and plastic covers for snes and gameboy.

    ^ Bingo. Smurfs Save the Day is an R8... Unfortunately, as goes the story with a lot of the R8 and under Atari 2600 stuff, its demand isn't so high...a loose cart recently sold for $35 BIN, while another ended unsold at $40 (a few other ended carts went for $20, $25, $37, and $39, and the $25 one had one of the three cassettes). So it's moderately safe to say that cart alone would get you your money back. If that doesn't do it on its own, I sold a Midnight Magic for $6, although it was 6 or 7 years ago, right before Atari 2600 stuff started crashing. Beamrider is worth a few bucks, too. You did pretty well on this, I think.

    Where are you finding things for under a dollar? Thrift stores around me price games very rarely under $5 and no one at a flea market wants change.

    Today i decided to skip my regular saturday morning trip to the flea market 'cause my car was low on gas. I hopped on my bicycle and took a ride to my neighborhood Goodwill, which is a shorter distance. On my way to goodwill i spotted a church rummage sale and picked up some things.
