nh31970 Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 How much (ballpark) does a Sunnyvale go for? It's not in the box or anything like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari_wizard Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 on ebay, between 50 to 90. sometimes they go for higher if people are desperate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nh31970 Posted May 12, 2004 Author Share Posted May 12, 2004 Thanks. I'm planning on buying one off of someone for $50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 I have a cheaper one for sale. http://www.atariage.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=49930 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nh31970 Posted May 12, 2004 Author Share Posted May 12, 2004 Thanks for the offer, but I'm not really into the Sears one. I saw some yahoo trying to sell a complete original Atari Sunnyvale in the box on Ebay for $375! I asked him why wasn't the Atari logo on the paddles, and he just started going in and on about how "this here is a collectors item". What a putz.

Brad2600 Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Luckily, I never had to pay for any of my 2600s. My heavy sixer was a gift from a friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApolloBoy Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 on ebay, between 50 to 90. sometimes they go for higher if people are desperate. Heh. I got mine for $10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsoper Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Heh. I got mine for $10. I got my Sunnyvale 2600 for $5 in a thrift. I got my Sunnyvale house for $575k. Seems like the houses go for a little more than the consoles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmpddytim Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 I got my Sunnyvale house for $575k. Man how big of a house do you live in? Because there are HUGE and I mean huge 2 story, 5 car garage, maids quaters in the rear, indoor and outer pool, marble mansions around here that dont go for much more than that. -Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 Probably 2 bedroom, one car garage, 500K doesn't buy you too much around here. LOL Unless of course he bought it ages ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmpddytim Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 OUCH! You could buy houses like that all day around here for 80K. Guess I'll never be moving to the coast. -Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari_wizard Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 expensive! ouch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsoper Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 expensive! ouch! Heh-heh, yes. Hi-tech salaries are higher here but a lot of it comes down to how lucky you get on stock options. I've had just enough luck to keep treading water. In California, you're paying for the weather, and in the Bay area you're also paying to be where the jobs are. The house btw is a 1442 sq ft three bedroom with a family room where we installed a projector and got a spiffy home theater going. We bought it last December (which explains the lack of updates on my website, heh-heh). Boy, better drag this thread back on-topic. The 6-switcher models all use a 4050 digital buffer chip on the luma and sync lines which should give better looking video than a 4-switcher. I can't see any difference, but Atari went back to 4050s with the 2600jr motherboard, so they must have liked it. There is also a space to solder an eprom for a built-in game, but it needs a little extra circuitry to work. One article mentioned that an early 2600 assembly lot had a problem with warped covers, so the workers had to learn the "VCS karate chop" to put them together.

Funny how my PAL 4-switches have far more inferior picture quality than my 6-switch and Jr. systems. The difference is quite well noticable! Oops, still off topic.

AtariLeaf Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 Wow I didn't know sunnyvales (consoles not houses - gotten a bit off topic here have we ) were worth that much. I paid $40 Cdn. for mine but it came with 80 games. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
