Swami Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 This puzzles me. $193 for a 4-switch 2600 untested with box. Is a nice box worth $140? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Atari-Video-Computer-System-Model-CX-2600A-W-Original-Box-Untested-Vintage/142468599421?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+stupus Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 its not even the chess piece box. Guess its all in fairly good shape and has the ac and paddle boxes. But I don't see anything special about it unless I missed something. So yeah, seems like people got a bit bid crazy.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't see anything special about it unless I missed something. So yeah, seems like people got a bit bid crazy.... I'm contemplating getting a nice early model 2600 box for display, but I probably have to get a console with it, and it would probably be smart to do that as the matched set would retain its value better...although ... It is unlikely I would ever sell it. I already have a 6switch 4switch and Sears model I and II, so don't really want another random 2600 console until I sell one of these I have. Not sure it is worth the trouble and paying way over $100 for the set to have a nice box that just sits there, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still seems slightly high to me, but you know collectors! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+stupus Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 ah, yeah that's possible. I guess those were generally in the promotional boxes? Seems 2 guys really bid it out at the end...maybe it just turned into a pissing contest of sorts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the repaired four switchers with the 6/4 bottom are collectors items b/c the bottom was made in Sunnyvale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 So the repaired four switchers with the 6/4 bottom are collectors items b/c the bottom was made in Sunnyvale? Any Atari that was "Made In The USA" has more value versus it's Asian made equivalents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swami Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Any Atari that was "Made In The USA" has more value versus it's Asian made equivalents. Asian top with USA bottom, if I'm not mistaken. A repair of an Asian 4-switch model. Not clear on where the guts come from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+thanatos Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I found the world's oldest Donkey Kong machine.

Atari_Bill Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Wow, magazines now going for almost $300? SMH. Last EG issue I needed and I made a valiant effort, but absolutely no way I'm ever paying that much for a magazine. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Electronic-Games-Magazine-Number-2-1984-Software-Encyclopedia/222618992516?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoshiChiri Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sega-Saturn-HDMI-Cable-Box-Wow-And-Rare/253110686194 Wow... if you're gonna try and pawn a composite -> HDMI converter off as a specialty device, at least print a good label for it! Also amusing to me- I recognize that grey box with the 720/1080 identification in it. This is MY converter (this one:https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I482KZI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). So, I guess props for not using a super-cheap one?

Swami Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I wonder who at Atari dreamt this up? Did they do a lot of weird action figures in the 90's unrelated to their games, as far as I can tell. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Atari-Games-Red-T-Rex-Dinosaur-1996-Action-Figure-Arm-Releases-Ball-in-Mouth-/162663678118?hash=item25df82c0a6:g:tQAAAOSwek1Zd8Fr Atari-Games-Red-T-Rex-Dinosaur-1996-Action-Figure-Arm-Releases-Ball-in-Mouth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a few different figures made. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
