0078265317 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Spotted some atari at disc replay village crossing today. They must of changed their policy because they never used to take below nes. But saw some atari today. But they are asking way too much. At least for the junior. There was only 1 each. 1 jr and 1 5200. I just took multiple angles. http://mvvg.blogspot.com/2015/10/atari-disc-replay.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutsy Doodleheimer Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Overpriced indeed! These bundled lots should be more than half of what they are asking. I'd say $30-$35 for the Junior lot and about $60 for the 5200 lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 ^ I'd agree those should be the prices if sold here or between friends, but not necessarily at a brick and mortar retail store. Still, they could probably stand to come down maybe 10%-20% if they end up sitting around forever or if they do not allow haggling. Electricity, heat and rent aside also, gotta keep in mind what some of these stores give in credit or cash for such things. That said (and for the hell of it), I took a near mint boxed Vader system to an independent game store recently and was offered $25 in store credit. Guy acted as if he didn't really want it at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0078265317 Posted October 25, 2015 Author Share Posted October 25, 2015 I called just now and they said they do not barter and everything is final. Even my retroport I got yesterday was all sales final. No returns. Just exchange if it does not work for same thing. Or store credit if not available. Just like good will. So not worth it. And they won't trade in my junior until they get rid of those 2 I pictured. But if they had to guess probably 28 dollars for the JR and 1 or 2 dollars per game unless they were really popular.The retroport was cheap so was worth a risk but its not too shabby.

+save2600 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Bottom line: you're much better off dealing with somebody here at AA for this kind of stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dino999 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Those are horrible prices, especially since they are not mailing a big, heavy 5200 system. Prices on ebay have shot up for 5200s but I think the main reason is to cover shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
