homerwannabee Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 That is pretty cool. Way out of my league price wise, but it looks like a deal none the less! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buyatari Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 That is pretty cool. Way out of my league price wise, but it looks like a deal none the less! Why thank you for the kind words sir. I enjoyed it for some time but have switched gears. This is the last of my Atari prototypes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+wood_jl Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 That's interesting, but if I had $3,250 to drop at once on game equipment, I can't help but imagine the ROOM FULL of stuff I'd buy with it as opposed to a nonfunctional prototype. Hell, I thought this huge vintage Atari arcade tester was overpriced: http://cgi.ebay.com/ATARI-CTS-1-Computer-T...3A1%7C294%3A200 ....but perhaps it is not?

Tempest Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I've asked this before, but I don't think I ever got an answer. What does the splash screen say when the System X starts up? Does it say 5200? I assume the BIOS must be different. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parrothead Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 (edited) And it's sold. I must admit BuyAtari put his Free Seller account to good use. That would have cost a bit to sell on Ebay Glad the Chuckwagon worked out for ya. Edited July 2, 2009 by Parrothead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would have cost a bit to sell on Ebay Glad the Chuckwagon worked out for ya. Well I've already made back what I spent on the lifetime membership if I had to pay ebay fees and I've done it selling somewhere other than eBay. Why suport them when you support your own ? This is the second high dollar item (first was Atari 2700) I've sold on Chuckwagon. So for those of you who are afraid to try Chuckwagon I say give them a shot ! What do you have to lose?
