Dolt Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 I have someone offering me a ATARI 7800 system with 22 games, 2 7800 joysticks, 1 2600 joystick, and 1 AC adaptor. I don't know the games or condition, though he says it's pretty good. The asking price is $50. Is that reasonable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whisper Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 And you're asking in the 2600 forum? Oh well, I guess there are a lot of people here that will know it. Personally I'm clueless. Over here in The Netherlands, 7800's tend to sell for a lot less than 2600 machines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLeaf Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 Its very reasonable. Grab it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolt Posted May 25, 2004 Author Share Posted May 25, 2004 Good point about asking in the wrong place. Duh. I'm a 2600 person, so it never even occurred to me to go next door to the 7800 forum. My bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonTemplar Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 It all depends on the games that are given away with it. As for the 7800 system, I think it`s worth the same as a 2600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candiru Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 I think $50 for that set up isn't too bad. I agree that it comes down to what games come with it, and maybe if they include boxes or manuals. If it's just a bunch of butt-common 2600 carts that are going to be duplicates for you, that deal becomes a little less appealing. As a starter set-up for someone with no games at all it's a nice package though. Finding one with a working power supply is a plus though, as the PS alone often commands a price somewhere around the $20 mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stingray Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 If those are all 7800 games and not 2600 games it sounds like a good deal to me. I paid $50 for mine with 14 7800 games and a few 2600 games, it was all boxed and like new though. -S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cousin Vinnie Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 If those are 22 7800 games, it is def. worth it. $3 a game is reasonable for 7800 common games. Cousin Vinnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
