I'm thankful for all the cool things I've learned, the good laughs with friends, new friends, the sharing, the giving.  Mostly for the feeling of belonging with people who share the hobby.
 
THANKS, you turkeys!

Many trades and purchases by me from Nosweargamer.  He's a great person to deal with.  Carts always come wrapped in saran wrap, which keeps them crisp and fresh, and no leaks!  Kidding aside, great guy, great trader.  God bless America. 

HEY!  Is not!

What can I say?  I've traded with Rowsdower70 more than anyone else on atari.io.  Great person, great trades.  This man cares. 

I had a successful trade with Starbuck66.  Thumbs up!

You ever have one of those days where you find so much good junk, you just can't believe it?  That was today for me. 
The 5200 joysticks are in very nice shape.  I'll bet the buttons need work, but that will be a fun project. Another Scooby Doo plug and play -- this one with the game key slot -- for $1 A Scooby Doo Wii game CIB for $1 (Jinky's!) A really bad condition laptop -- I always wanted one of these 12" Dell's, and this was only $3.  It will be fun to see if it works, and possibly fix it up. 3 Microvision games A boxed TI computer (yes, the tan model is not ideal...but the price was right). A couple of C64 carts. It was so weird to see the 5200 joysticks and C64 games just sitting there on the shelf at Goodwill.  I can't say I've ever seen them before in years of hunting. 

CIB Video Olympics and 2 Keyboard Controllers (with 2 games).  The 2 games are "Codebreaker" and "Hunt & Score" (sounds like going to a bar on a Friday night -- reminds me of the Lynx Lounge Atari cocktail video!)
 
A few of these items have been placed into my "For Trade" store:  http://forums.atari.io/index.php/topic/2698-rickrs-good-junk-shop/
 
 

How about an Atari-tini.

Gin,
Vermouth,
poured over Pengo Ice
add in power pellets
and a squeeze of dragon
Strain, and serve. 

btbfilms76 has created the perfect Atari drink!
We made a nice page for it on the site: http://www.atari.io/atari-twist/
Be sure to share with friends!

 

That thing is pretty sweet.  Thanks for posting here.  Hopefully someone wants it, as I agree it's a nice collectible item. 

GIS for "steampunk atari":
 

improved thrunge plate for '77!

So... my wife bought this as a birthday present for my daughter next year, but we failed to realize that this was not an XL model, just a standard model. She currently has an XL model, and I don't think she would like going to the smaller size, even though it is the "new" model. I have a standard original 3DS, and my wife has the Zelda 3DS XL, so we don't really need this either. This is brand new in the box, has not been opened yet.
 
I could just take it back to Toys R Us and get our money back, but I think these things are somewhat collectible, so I wanted to gauge interest here first. Below are pictures:
 

 

 
Thought about selling on eBay also, but I've never sold anything on eBay so I'm worried with no reputation I'll have issues selling it. I have a ton of positive buyer feedback, but I don't think that factors into sales.

Latest trade from Rowsdower:
 

 
I'm loving Sorcerer; call me weird but I find the music cool and the game quirky but fun!

Do it!  We'd love to see. 

Sorry, one last thing. I'll brown nose it, all the mods on this site are so welcoming and cool that that vibe is strong here! No trolls here just good people who love what brought us all here.

I'm late as always but very thankful for this site!!I'm a 44 year old dude who never really had many like minded friends growing up in nowhere NC. This place has all the folks I wished I had around me growing up.This is my favorite escape, love the old school guys as well as the new kids just discovering the magic that brought us all here!! The mods, the members, you are all my people! I love this place!!

You earned that win!!

I'm happy with my 773! So difficult!!!

At that price, it should include the prototype cartridge.

Same here

thanks fella's. it was a fun one 

A big ole' THANK YOU! to my Secret Santa!  I got exactly what I was hopeful for! A sealed CIB Star Raiders and Pengo for my 5200!  Was not expecting the Pengo, but I do love that game on the 5200 .
 
Now I have to bring myself to open the seal on this Star Raiders
 

Another pro:
 
 
Nearly passed out when I fired up the cartridge for the first time!

Now I want one too. 

Enjoy it.  It just gets better and better.
