Rarity of 5200 Hardware and Accessories

[Atari Richie]

Hi everyone, firstly I would like to say what a fantastic forum you all have here.

 

I decided to relive my childhood, by getting some retro consoles, mainly the one my parents would not get me for x-mas. It’s grat being a 30 your old kid...

Had Atari 2600 for the last 25 years which died days ago, it was like losing a close friend.

 

However went to buy a new one off fleebay so I can still retro myself up. And spotted an Atari 5200, because I have never played one I bought it; However I live in the UK and it’s been a mission getting it to work but now have it playing in all its old skool glory.

 

But how rare are some of the bits I have as I can’t find then on eBay UK or US or the net, to judge.

If you have any ideas of rarity or value it would be much appreciated.

 

Bit’s I would like some more info on.

 

 

2 x Coin Controls Inc competition PRO 5000 joystick (boxed with manuals +Y Cord)

 

2 x Wico Command Control analogue joystick (boxed with manuals + Y Cord)

 

 

 

Thanks People

 

You will be seeing me on the top of the high scores board lol...

I get higher scores with a digital joystick than with Wico joystick...(assuming of course the game is playable with 8 directions or less).

I think there was some thread earlier as to which 5200 games required analogicity.
