+-^CrossBow^- Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Yeap...those in the Tulsa area know it well. This is the ebay handle for Vintage Stock out of Tulsa. That is the Kiosk that was at my show on the 18th. I don't know the reserve, but I am sure it is around $2,000 as they were asking $2,499 at the show. They had offers for $2,000 in the past but turned them down prior to the show. So, expect a reserve of $2,000 on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the 5th ghost Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 That is very cool! If the reserve is at $2000, then why start it at $100? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 (edited) Because the higher the starting bid, the more the auction costs initially to put online? Edited June 28, 2005 by -^Cro§Bow^- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The starting cost is based on the starting bid if there isn't a reserve, and the reserve cost if there is, so they aren't saving anything. Sellers like to use a reserve to get an idea of what something might go for, in case they're worried it will go for lower than what they'd be comfortable with.

ATARIPITBULL Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 It sure does look great, but I know shipping a monster size item like that to my house in Detroit, would cost me about $350.00 or more!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiggerthehun Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 I hate seeing these things, as it reminds me of a very dark chapter in my "atari" life... Those of you familiar with my first post may remember this. I was actually offered a FREE, working Atari Store Display just like this one - it was in a barn right down the lane from my sister's house. Shortly before I was going to move it, a fieldhand threw out a cigarette near the barn, and, sure enough, EVERYTHING caught fire, the barn was leveled, and with it, my store display. I guess the only redeming factor here is that it would have undoubtably catipulted me into the "boxed collector" status, and that, in the long run, would probably find me spending more money then I should. Ah well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATARIPITBULL Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Well I won the auction, but I did not meet the sellers price, so I did not win after all. The seller must want $2000.00 like some one else already said, way more than I would spend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trade-N-Games Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 I offered $1500 in person and said I would take it with me a few weeks ago in OK and they said they had offers of $2000 in store for it. Now the employee in charge of the sale told me they got it for $1000 with a ton of games but that owners wont sell for less than double the investment. It is real nice and the main board has never been installed. The side has some touch up paint on it from rub marks but by far this one is as good as a new one if someone has the money or can just come up with it I would go for it you might not ever get the chance again at one this nice. Its just to bad the owners are very greedy but if they were collectors. It is in the store I wonder if they would let me trade in my 300 xbox games for it?

poloboy Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 I have enjoyed reading everyone's post about this Atari 2600 POP Kiosk. This is indeed a RARE, extremely hard to find piece of vintage Atari history. I believe the one you are all referring to on ebay is the one I purchased. I am a huge Atari fan and collector and thought I would post a few pictures of the Kiosk. I was looking at least 7 years to find this gem in such great condition to add to my collection of rare Atari collectibles. It is as everyone had talked about - this Atari kiosk is in NEAR MINT condition...however it was just very dirty during the time the previous owner had it and during shipping. I had to take the whole kiosk apart, piece by piece and inspected every part. We did not want to risk damaging it when we moved it. Several key highlights also include: 1. It has with the COMPLETE documentation and assembly instructions (MINT) 2. It has a "Master Control" CPU that was in a separate box (never hooked up or opened) and it looks like a big motherboard with eproms and has about 40 games on the board. note: The actual Atari 2600 game console in the picture is actually an "empty shell" since you have to press the buttons on the right side of the control panel (pictured) to cycle through the games and they all play great! When I get a chance I will also try to get some pictures of the Atari game processor board as well. 3. It has the original game sales flip charts so you can look at which game you want to play and simply enter the code (i.e. 22 for example) and that would play the appropriate game The only real "non-mint" portion of the kiosk is an Atari graphic going across the control panel on the left which I am going to conduct a search for or potentially pay a skilled artist to re-create it. I will make a standing offer that if anyone knows where to get the Atari graphic or knows someone who could expertly re-create it - would be much appreciated...and I would naturally pay them for the graphic. Here are some image of the fully assembled ATARI POP Kiosk along with *some* of my Atari 2600 collection. I hope everyone enjoys looking at these pictures as much as I enjoyed searching for and playing with it.

sku_u Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 That is a work of art. Thanks for sharing and welcome to the site. Are you able to take pictures of the motherboard w/EPROMS that came with it without compromising the packaging? If so, I'd love to see that.

Cassidy Nolen Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Sku, A few folks have these around if you just want a pic of the board. Looks just like an arcade board except it takes a 5200-style power supply. There is a bank of rom sockets for the "games" to go, and you can actually use a desoldered 2600 rom right in there. There is a rom that controls the game selection (a 2600 "bios" program) and the board actually has a cartridge slot right on board that overrides the rom bank/"bios".
