scmor92 Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 Seems a little high to me. For example, I picked up a Sears heavy-sixer with original grey power adapter and tan cloth dust cover on ebay for $42 shipped. In another ebay deal, I got an Atari heavy-sixer, an original grey power adapter, two original joysticks (the ones that click), a set of original paddles (that say Atari), and 8 games for $52 shipped. Also, I've seen working Jrs on ebay sell for $15. Does the Jr. come with power adapter, switchbox, joysticks, paddles, games, etc.? Those variables make a big difference. But, $35 for a Jr. with, say, just a power adapter, I'd say wait - you could do either get more for your $35 or pay less for a Jr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Monkey Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 I just sold a complete jr with 55 games for $52 on eBay, so I would definately call that high. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=3536070937 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scmor92 Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 Tantone, check out this auction (not mine): http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...8&category=3537 A "Vader" unit, original Atari power adapter, 2 joysticks and 3 games for $34.99 shipped. The only thing you'll need is a switchbox, which I believe is $5-6 at Radio Shack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
