Epyx_Fail Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 What would be a fair asking price for a like new 5200 with controllers and a couple games in the original box? I'm trying to decide if I want to buy this or not. I collect 2600 stuff and don't know much about values in the 5200 realm. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

tz101 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 If everything works good, $50-$60 range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I'd agree with $50 or so. The key is "Does it work?". It's almost guaranteed the controllers either won't work properly or even not at all. That's to be expected. If the system powers up and you get an unscrambled picture on screen, then you've got something to work with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie_ Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 (edited) I'd try for $50 but maybe go as high as $75 if it is working 100% with switch box. Picture looks like its a 4 port, being all glossy like that. Actually, looking at the picture again, if thats the switch box under the controller on the right, where is the power brick? If that the power brick and it is a 2 port, its the most glossy 2 port I've ever seen. I think maybe thats a 4 port with no special switchbox.....

zylon Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Looks like it does have power and switchbox. I think the brick is upside down so the writing isn't visible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epyx_Fail Posted June 6, 2011 Author Share Posted June 6, 2011 Hmmm...I'll probably hold off then. Sounds like too much could go wrong. I like dependability and simpicity. Hence the 2600 collecting. Thanks for the advice guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atari181 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 If you want a nice CIB it will take some time for under $100. A nice 5200 with everything working and all inserts in a great condition box will run around $150 to $200. If you are a collector and want everything perfect, that is the way to go.
