    Looking to buy an Atari 2600. Maybe a couple of them. Would prefer they be in decent shape and from a non smoking household. 

    Am also interested in some games. Not looking for anything rare or crazy. Commons are perfectly fine.

    With my son doing virtual school this year, I am trying to broaden his horizons a bit when it comes to technology and maybe get him off

    Call of Duty every once in awhile. 

     

    I will pay with Paypal and shipping would be to Oklahoma. 

    I do not mind paying first provided the seller has good feedback on this site. 

    Yes, I am aware eBay probably has this stuff, but frankly, as a longtime lurker of AtariAge, I trust ya'll more. 

    No, I will not be paying you with $40 enclosed in an envelope. So I've got that going for me. 

    I have a bunch of 2600s for sale and plenty of commons.  shoot me a PM

    The box is fake, insert is fake, cartridge label looks fake, manual could be real? Do you still have pics of what you sold this guy? I doubt that’s the cartridge you sold him. He belongs on the bad trader list for saying it’s real and buying it back in the 80’s. He has 100% feedback so I don’t know why he’s gone rogue maybe he needs money because of COVID?

    No I don't.  He may have sold the cart/manual separately.  He knows what it is.  If he was a long term collector, he would know that the original box looks nothing like that.

    Seller is an idiot, liar or both.

    Those boxes were made yesrs ago here by mancavearcade.

    He conceived the neat game themed slide out trays.

    This guy either got ripped off himself or is just flat out lying....he did not get that thru the promotional mail in 

    It definitely is a Mancavearcade box.  It is in fact the same box that I had in my collection at one time.  After looking at the seller ID , I am pretty sure I sold this exact box to him as a reproduction a while back.  I sold it with an authentic cart/manual, so in theory those could be the same ones.

  5. I would guess you had them for sale for the last 6 months at a price point higher than $7.50 Ea.   Did you lower the price at the same time as posting them here?  I would guess the price point sold them fast.   Either way, it isn't unreasonable to expect positive feedback from buyers if they were happy. However, I know,  I rarely have left feedback to sellers on Amazon.   Not that I don't want to, for some reason I rarely even look at feedback on Amazon when making a purchase.   I have always looked at it in a different way than Ebay when buying/selling.  

     

    If you are/were just looking for positive feedback from the sale(s) I guess it would be a dissapointment.

  6. Homebrews are worth collecting if you want to play the game and support the programmer/developer.  If you are getting into it in hopes of having a great investment, you would be better off putting your money in an IRA.

     Atariage doesn't do a bunch of Limited edition Homebrews.  You will find some every once in a while, but for the most part they are not.  Neo Games does most releases on a limited basis.  Gooddealgames also does some as well.

  7. It's not your imagination. 2600 games, in general, have gone up quite a bit.  Sealed games have gone up crazy amounts. Some games 5-10X what they sold for last year.  I would agree, the influx of graded games is driving the market.

    So would anyone have any idea as to the value of this cart, given its PAL not NTSC?

     

    Most valuations if not all are for the NTSC cart..

     

    I know it could be tricky as its a bit of a hens tooth? ??

    Value is all in what someone is willing to pay.  Even many of the rarest games have a track record for sales and putting a "value" on them are much easier.  When you are talking about a game where only 3 are known, and then throw in the fact that it is PAL, things become a bit hazy.  it has unreal rarity for sure, however, there are less PAL collectors by far than NTSC.  

     

    It is truly what someone is willing to pay

    Congrats! I think it is 100% legit. For sure on of the rarest PAL games. 
    I doubt that it was ever sold in shops and believe in some sort of preorder back in the days.
     

     

    Whoa!  Always nice to see old members come back.  Welcome back, hope all is well.

    I took them from an aggregate of recently sold ebay listings for each game

    I figured it was that.  The pricing looks like some sort of average.  A few things to consider, The prices you see on Ebay may include shipping as many items are listed as "Free Shipping" and the cost is built into each inflating the price to more than what it would sell for.   

     

    The second thing to consider would be condition, your carts do not seem to be in very good condition, in fact many look dirty and in poor condition. 

     

    Lastly, you are selling in a marketplace without any fees, to collectors.  You should include any selling references you may have on other websites.

    If you really want to sell them, have clear pictures of the items including both labels.  Use a good camera with proper lighting and take some pictures.   Maybe browse through some other listings here in the Marketplace,  you will find many examples to use as a guide
