Nateo Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 There was an ad in the Democrat and Chronical and read, Video games and systems, from 1976-1983. So I call the number, and I asked how much he was selling his 2600 games for. The following is not for those with weak stomachs: $30 dollars for one game (and his collection was just abunch of 3's or under.) He was selling his Pong console for $450 dollars. His Atari 2600 with 30 games for $350. His NES with two conrollers and Duck Hunt for $60. He says that these are serious collectors items. I told him that they really weren't worth that much, and he started yelling at me. Needless to say, I won't be buying from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariDude Posted February 22, 2002 Share Posted February 22, 2002 Good for you. I would have pointed out some sites to him to make him aware that collectors of Atari items have a pretty good knowledge base of the value of items and were not likely to buy things at the price that he was expecting.

Nateo Posted February 23, 2002 Author Share Posted February 23, 2002 Ah well. That would have been a good idea, but oh well. I don't see his ad in the paper anymore... I think his one week ad has ended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
