Btw they sold that atari at goodwill for $79.99 – I was there today. They left behind about 5 games including Donkey Kong Junior for Coleco and Carnival. They were still trying to get $3.99 per game. I had offered them $20 for everything previously about a week ago but they wouldnt come down. I wonder if some clown actually paid close to $79.99 for it. Love your page and blogs. Big fan.

There are several Sega Master games at the Savers on Tropicana – After burner (in the box), Rambo and Ghostbusters. There are also about 8 atari 2600 games – PacMan, adventure, star raiders, asteroids, and a few others. I didnt take any of them as they dont resell for very much – maybe the ghostbusters – and i am not a huge collector of sega and atari games. They were going for $4.99 for two. They are over in the book section next to the comics if you happen to go by there.

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

The cart is more than two decades old and I can live with it. Any time a game is purchased with a screen shot rather than a photo of the cart runs that risk. Besides, the price is right. :-)

Knowing how much stock you churn through and your committment to your buyers is compensation enough.

Just saw your review and I’m sorry that the Predator game you received was so faded. That shouldn’t have happened. I’ll get another copy sent out to you ASAP and we’ll email you the tracking when it goes out. I’ll make sure its a great looking copy.

As an FYI every game we sell is backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee so if you aren’t completely happy just email us at sales@lukiegames.com or call us toll free at 888-616-GAME and we will get you taken care of.

If by chance you still have the removable sticker that was on the back please email us the number that was on it. Every game we sell has a unique identifier that lets us see who cleaned it, who tested it, who picked it, packed it, and exactly where we got it. If you’ve still got that I’ll make sure that the people who processed it get additional training so that doesn’t happen again.

Thanks

Sara

When I ran across your blog I thought the same that its nice to have a local collector. I also do some selling online and do look for xbox, ps2 and gamecubes but rarely play those systems. Although I was just playing Shadow of the Collossus for PS2 which is a pretty bad ass game.

Funny my least favorite system is Sega – just not a big fan of the selection of games although you could argue there are some good ones. There arent a lot of games for N64 that are good but I have two kids and my little girl who is 6 loves Mario Party so we play that alot. Its actually pretty fun. I had a huge collection of NES games before but have narrowed it down to about 30-40 of my favoirte titles.

I wasnt aware of the expo – is there another one coming up?
