Your calculator might be a bit off. The prices I put in, and that's going by sold ebay listings and going on the low end, I come up with about 590-600 for everything, not counting a few cheaper games I kept...

I concur. While a number of those PS2 games are worth only a few dollars, what I did add up added up to $350, and I wasn't done adding yet. You should make a few dollars in this deal, especially what change you're getting from me. :lol:

Got to add a few gems to my Master System collection tonight, all found at a retail game shop 20 miles from my house.

I am very jealous of the power base converter! Nice find!

I picked up a few things today - including a small lot of TI-99 games for my man BoneSnapDeez - but the most interesting find, IMO, was an orange-label variant of Breakout (2600) that I picked up for $2. It looks like:

As far as I can determine, there are none currently available on eBay, and the variant should make an interesting addition to my collection.

Not sure it's worth reselling, but if you want it for keeps, it's a good deal.

Yeah, I would only get it to keep it. The atari market is too sporadic. But I have already caught you know who's interest in it :lol:

Looks like a nice Atari collection for the price. Definitely one of the funner/cheaper system to collect for thanks to the large amount of variant carts and the reliability of the hardware. Only issues I have had with mine are the power cords. Each of the three systems I bought had a dead power brick off brand replacements are only around $10 though.

prfsnl_gmr, the black labels are the versions from 1978, which the game originaly came out, the orange label is from another production run in 1986.

Rarer to find, but not worth a big amount more than the regular label.
