remaindered Atari 2600/5200 cartridges
Is that
the guy that was housing them in an old salt mine?
Bingo, yes, that triggers my memory. But isn't enough to find
any references in Google. What does that mean? Is there some
universe that exists in your and my memory but not in Google's? :-).
The guy probably went broke in a spectacular way (I can't imagine what
kind of debt he might have gotten into buying such a huge supply of Atari
carts, and then renting a salt mine to store and sell them). Now he
doesn't exist, and no one links to him or ever really linked to him
(maybe if they had, he would have gone broke in a less spectacular way).
Since google works on how many people link to a page, he might be the
last link on some odd search combination of 'Atari Salt "Insane sales
ideas"'.
I don't know about your mind, but mine doesn't work based on how many
times something is linked to from something else. Mine works on some
strange as yet to be fully determined system of storing totally useless
tidbits of information while disposing of the important things like what
my wife told me this morning to pick up on the way home (still don't
remember, and she won't tell me, and the fact that I remembered a guy
sold Atari carts out of a salt mine has made her stop telling me anything
for the night... which I have yet to decide if that is really a bad thing
or not).
