Matts Vintage Video Games Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I have an Atari 2600 for sale. It is tested, cleaned and working properly. With the exception that the Color/ black white switch is no attached. It plays in color but will not be able to switch it back to black and white unless you fix the issue. Not something I feel like tackling. Comes complete with all items shown in the photos provided. I will ship anywhere in the United states and will calculate shipping costs with the USPS Priority mail with tracking. I only charge what it costs me to ship it. feel free to contact me through atari age. Not sure if I can put my links to my website, ebay or other links on here so I will not for now. Thanks for looking. Oh, and price is $150. Thanks again. have a good day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+H454 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 $150 for a broken 2600 4 switch with maybe $50 worth of games and two generic joysticks? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masschamber Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Yeah for a lot like this I would have fixed the switch and asked like 65-75 or modded is and asked like 90-100 but Scottydont00 I haven't found an extra jag yet, but I did find a Japanese odyssey 2 game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toiletunes Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 It's just a shame that Pac-Man is loose, I hear you can get twice as much ($300) for the lot if it was unopened. Edit: Maybe that only works for a Vader system? Boy do I feel like a poopyhead... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Ice Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Wow someone loved that Megamania so much they wore out the end label. It's not every day you see an Activision cart missing an end label. Maybe the family dog was addicted to Megamania? How does one explain something like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Ice Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 While we're at it, let's form a few theories on the missing B/W switch. My guess is someone had two systems and the reset switch snapped off on the first one, and it became survival of the most critical switch.

+wongojack Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 My review of this thread (thanks for asking) is that the community is overreacting a bit. This is the guy's first post. He could be completely reasonable. Members buy systems for repair here all the time. Maybe someone should make him an offer instead of turning this into an excuse to bring up old poo jokes. Unlike Natalie, this person is probably a legit user and not some old-timer posing as someone else to get a few laughs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamrodHare Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 OK, I see some BIG issues here. First post and he's trying to sell something. He's asking for an absurd amount of money, I mean really absurd. I viewed his profile and there's a link to his "store" on eBay. Guess what, eBay says the page doesn't exist. Even if the price were $30, I wouldn't take a chance on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+H454 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) OK, I see some BIG issues here. First post and he's trying to sell something.

Even if the price were $30, I wouldn't take a chance on it. YUP Either way, first post it to the marketplace. I'm more annoyed that he think someone here is dumb enough to buy it. That is a "for parts / broken" eBay lot that should start at $9.99 and $25 shipping flat. Link is was posted corrected in a comment by CPUWIZ to his "daily thought" - I think that's what its called. http://stores.ebay.com/Matts-Vintage-Video-Game-Center Most of his ebay stuff is reasonable.

Kid Ice Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 The thread started two days ago. If the OP didn't like how it was going he could have shut it down a number of ways. The lack of responsiveness is problem number five. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Popp Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 The person that posted this actually has a game store at a flea market near me, and I can vouch that he is a nice guy and a reasonable person. While I agree the price is high, I've sold 4 switch consoles in the past for $60 with a few games (of course w/out a broken switch). If it wasn't for the broken switch, $100 would not be far off. I just hate the idea of a new member being scared away from these forums. He might be accustomed to getting higher prices in his local store/booth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osgeld Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 The intent seems to me at least to use the forum as a ad spot and not really be a member (or username and first post being a sale thread) but I dunno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.BAZ Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I would totally pay thirty bucks for that lot! maybe fifty if I wanted to assimilate it into the pile. Definitely no more than fifty. Anyway, I've got no problem with people asking overly high prices. Maybe they just don't really want to let it go unless they can get a lot for it, ya know? No skin off my back if he plans on most likely keeping it for a while. Even if this guy was asking $450, no harm done. It just wouldn't sell is all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
