shadow460 Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Just testing the waters here...I'm not ready to buy quite yet. Assume the Lynx is a Lynx 2, has no major scratches on the case, has a screen that can be refinished or has some minor scratching, everything works (i.e. backlight, all jacks and controls work), has no accessories or batteries, and no games. In short, a bare Lynx 2, used but in good condition. How much should I expect to pay for that Lynx? How much more would an AC power adapter cost?

JagFan422 Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 (edited) i bought my Lynx II in said condition but missing a battery cover for $14 off ebay shipped. I bought the batter covery for $3 shipped and spent $8 at Radio shack for an Ac Adapter, so all in all, i paid about $25 for my Lynx two. Also, it came with Steel Talons, new in box, so add subtract what you will. So based on my experience, without a game, and no box, expect to pay somewhere in the lines of $10-$20.

Ferris Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Typically the long-time Atari retailers charge between $79.95 to $99.95 for a Lynx II core unit brand new in the box. Brand new AC Adapter tends to go for about $19.95. ...but that's brand new in the box, if you're lucky enough to secure one... If you are looking to get the most for your money and dont mind purchasing pre-owned hardware, scouring ebay for a good "buy it now" deal is the best way to go. Chances are you can find a really decent bundle, including the Lynx II base unit, possibly a Comlynx Cable or Screen Visor, A/C Adapter, maybe a case, and a small handfull of games for around $30 - $50 depending on the condition and amount of games. If you can find the right deal and snag it on "buy it now" you'd be set to go. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow460 Posted April 24, 2006 Author Share Posted April 24, 2006 Awesome. I was thinking BIN was the way to go, but I thought the base unit would be around $80 without the box. I'm glad I asked before I got taken. I was planning on spending about $100 shipped, so that should get several games. Now to raise the $100...maybe I should hold a bake sale. $10 to $20 seems much more reasonable--that's just a tick higher than the Game Gear sells for, and I think the Lynx is probably worth a bit more anyway. Battery covers are an absolute must. It's going to get modded similar to my Gear, and I will want the NiMH cells to stay out of sight and out of mind.

AtticGamer Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 20$ for the system is the average price. The AC adapter should cost about 5$-7$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
