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 https://forums.atariage.com/topic/47434-wanted-interesting-auctions/page/68/#findComment-3829528 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....

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.

Still seems slightly high to me, but you know collectors! 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/47434-wanted-interesting-auctions/page/68/#findComment-3829700 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?
