seanhq Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I've been doing some looking around ePay trying to track down a boxed heavy sixer for a friend and I just across this listing which has a complete in box 1977 heavy sixer with all 9 launch titles. The seller has it listed for $1,000 USD buy it now. Granted, there is some nice stuff in this listing, but $1,000.00???? Has the value of a CIB 1977 Sunnyvale, CA 2600 really jumped this high or is the seller just out of their mind? I could see maybe $300.00-$400.00 but $1,000.00?? They even charge extra for shipping ($30.54 UPS Ground)! I would think for $1,000 they would ship for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homerwannabee Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Well it is not that out of line. The Basic Math gatefold box recently went for $131 shipped. Those Sixer Joysticks look pretty sweet, and I could see them with the sixer paddles, and sixer driving controllers going $150. It even has a working grey power supply. To be honest if the seller would simply lower the price to about $500 I really think he would have a good shot at selling it. Of course it might take him awhile. Also, one more thing needs to be noted. Remember that The Heavy Sixer, and accessories are the oldest things for Atari going on 33 years. At about 35 years, supposedly is when things really take off in price, so in a couple of years, we may be thinking about the time when we complained about this auction.

iwan-iwanowitsch-goratschin Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 This auction is there for a loooong time........$1000 is too much but I agree with homer that $500 would be not that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinball22 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 All of this seller's stuff is always somewhere between overpriced and way way overpriced. This is a nice set -- as mentioned above, the Basic Math and the CX-10's can be pricey items, and it's in the chess-piece box. But it's not a $1000-nice set.

the.golden.ax Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 If it sells I'm posting an identical set for $1000... why look a gift horse in the mouth. AX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Anyone know the deal with why Atari had the chess piece on the box and then took it off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanhq Posted January 29, 2010 Author Share Posted January 29, 2010 Anyone know the deal with why Atari had the chess piece on the box and then took it off? At the time, Atari didn't have a Chess game and some guy in Florida sued Atari about it, so they removed the Chess piece picture. There are other pictures on the 1977 box that are not on the later versions, but people only seem to talk about the Chess piece, probably because of the lawsuit. I only know about the lawsuit because of the Stella at 20 (vol 1 & 2) videos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odysseus Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Why would anyone pay that much for that set. Someone is a little overconfident with their items Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
