TaoNakamora Posted May 3, 2003 Author Share Posted May 3, 2003 Do they sell used ones anywhere besides ebay???????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 What are you looking for exactly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaoNakamora Posted May 3, 2003 Author Share Posted May 3, 2003 a 5200 or a 7600 I have a 2600 coming in the mail..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 Try the marketplace forum here for starters. Otherwise, you can try www.4jays.com for systems although they tend to be a little pricey. BTW its the 7800 not the 7600 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaoNakamora Posted May 3, 2003 Author Share Posted May 3, 2003 I checked it out and I think I should stick with ebay :wink: Thanks for your help any way......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 People here are a lot more trustworthy than most of the sellers on eBay, just FYI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaoNakamora Posted May 3, 2003 Author Share Posted May 3, 2003 I totally agree..... its just that most people here wont give an Atari away and AtariAge only sells chips........And youd only lose a small amount if they dont give it to you on ebay anyway.......

SteelerFan Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 I would suggest trying somebody here first, than with EBAY. Although I have yet to make a transaction with anyone here, everyone seem legit and honest! GOOD LUCK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveAtari Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 This one looks reasonable... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...8&category=3537 ...his pic could use some work tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaoNakamora Posted May 3, 2003 Author Share Posted May 3, 2003 Its reasonable but no adapter or controllers Ill consider it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 If you have a 2600 coming your way, it wouldn't matter about the controllers. All 2600 controllers are useable on the 7800 and most 2600 games will play on a 7800 as well. BTW: Welcome to Atariage. I notice today is your first day posting here. Hope you stick around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 People here are a lot more trustworthy than most of the sellers on eBay, just FYI. Or if you know their seller handles on eBay, and they're a member here, that's a pretty safe bet too. My 5200 Star Wars has a cigarette burn on the case!! Damn ePay sellers.

TaoNakamora Posted May 4, 2003 Author Share Posted May 4, 2003 Well thanks for welcomeing me to AtariAge...... I got bored with my Gamecube and I thought it would be much cheaper and in some ways better then collecting the gamecube I went to Atari because they were the first,(or atleast I think so,Magnavox might of beat them....)But I consider them pioneers and they deserved a lot more credit then Nintendo or Sega......I wonder what there games would have been like today........If it wasnt for the damn game crash and that CEO who was too dumb to realize that Europe didnt matter, and Microsoft would take it all over anyway (Not to insult you Europe citezens out there, its a great place,but most of the cash from computers comes from the US......) And also....Ive heard that Infogrames is trying to reinvent Atari and have already made some games....Im confused could somebody clear this up for me?

Nukey Shay Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 Infogrames is currently producing games for current consoles under the Atari name...dunno if they plan on eventually releasing a new Atari console. What is confusing to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
