candiru Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 Probably not very much as it's one of the most common models according to the rarity list you can find at www.pong-story.com. I haven't paid more than $7 for any of the pong units I have. Of course none of those came with boxes and they don't have a gun accessory like the Telstar Ranger does. But there's not a lot of demand for old pongs so I'm guessing maybe $10 or less for a loose one. Even if it's boxed and in good shape, probably still less than $20. Look on the bright side, it's still a good find and pongs are just cool. When it comes to pong consoles I enjoy their design more than anything else. They're usually pretty funky looking.

WildBillTX Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 I've always been curious about one thing - why didnt Atari copyright Pong and kept other companies from making clones and thier other early games? Was it because video games were a new thing, they knew Ralph Bayer was the real inventor of Pong and it was previously available in the first Oddessy system, or they just wernt paying attention??
