riffraff Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I remember back when I bought this, 15+ years ago.. it was considered pretty rare. I can't seem to find any information on it searching with google. I just listed it 10 minutes ago and it already has a bid: Falcon Console new in the box - Atari 2600 clone If anybody has more information about this console, I'd appreciate it.

Dino Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Its a no-brainer taht this is a Jr clone. There are literally dozens of these clones out there. They are worth more if they are NTSC and if there are unreleased roms built in then you are on a winner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffraff Posted May 11, 2012 Author Share Posted May 11, 2012 I think it might have roms in it, I'm not sure if they're unreleased. I wanted to avoid hooking it up but I might have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofrills100 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Quirky item - fantastic condition. Jahfish would no doubt be keen if he hasn't already got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dino Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 You'd be better off testing the unit to confirm whether it is ntsc or not, whether it in fact works or not and whether there are any unreleased roms or not. the fact that there is no factory seal means there really isn't much value in the fact that this hasn't been opened before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffraff Posted May 11, 2012 Author Share Posted May 11, 2012 Yeah I'll do that sometime tonight with other hookups. I'm pretty sure it's NTSC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer4x4 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I like the name/logo on it. But I'll pass on this Shipping: $41.55 Or is that international shipping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffraff Posted May 11, 2012 Author Share Posted May 11, 2012 Shipping shouldn't be that much. I'll double-check to verify the weight is right. I'm pretty sure this is under 4 pounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffraff Posted May 11, 2012 Author Share Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) ARGH! The shipping is listed at 13 pounds. Only way to fix this is to relist it now that there's a bid. *smashes head into desk* Edit: relisted, the new listing will show up at 6pm PST today (Friday).

(When I first read this post, I thought you meant 13 British Pounds, then I realized, that would still only be about $20 (I think)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The item before that must have been the 45 intv games =) Anyways I re-listed it. I'll get a chance to test it soon. Hopefully I can tell if it's NTSC or not.

+Andrew Davie Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 How is this not a contravention of "no eBay auctions in this forum"? This thread belongs in marketplace! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffraff Posted May 12, 2012 Author Share Posted May 12, 2012 *sadface* Well at least I didn't post a link to the relisted item. I was just trying to figure out if anyone knew anything more about this, not gain additional exposure for a sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer4x4 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 That is how I took it, just for info. Anyway, I still think it is a cool logo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atariluvr77 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 well the auction is ending soon and I still don't see any information iether here or on ebay regarding the NTSC or ROM situation.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atariluvr77 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Ha, the seller cancelled everyones bid and ended the auction... I think it was up around $35 when it was pulled. I guess he thinks it's really rare or something... Theres probably atleast 30 different 2600 clones floating around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofrills100 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Well it is rare... But rare clone does not always equal high value. This thread has been a great waste of time for all involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Well it is rare... It is that, I have never seen one before, period. But rare clone does not always equal high value. I guess that depends on how you measure value. This thread has been a great waste of time for all involved. Except from the guy/gal who won it, if they read this.

I'd agree - except that the seller cancelled the listing.... again My apologies - I take my last posts back... I thought you said that he cancelled it Atariluvr77? It seems it did sell for $61. Not bad. Edited May 22, 2012 by nofrills100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atariluvr77 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I guess I was looking at the original cancelled auction... the link at the beginning of the post. I did not follow the auction so didn't realize it was relisted... there are too many clones out there to start trying to buy them all... $61 is a good deal I suppose, I've never see one iether... the everyday 4 switch ataris in the box go for more than that and you see them continuously...
