I think it's great that Mr. Bushnell has taken the time to post here and it's a testament to the hard work by the folks at AA that this website is even on his radar. I do think that we need to find a way to pare down the list of questions a little. I know everyone is excited about having Mr. Bushnell on the site answering questions, but the questions are piling up and are all over the board. Some of the questions could easily be answered with a little homework on the internet while others aren't even in the scope of his responsibility or previous responsibilities. I'm sure Mr. Bushnell would like to answer everyone's question, but I'm sure he's pretty busy and doesn't spend as much time surfing the forums as we do. I'm not sure if there's a way to do it, but it would be nice to moderate the questions and limit them to the ones that might answer some of the true mysteries about Atari in the early days. We just need to find a way to be respectful of Mr. Bushnell's time. Just my two cents and it's not directed at anyone specifically.

I think that the slight price dip (that I perceive) is due to the multi-game "Atari" systems you can now buy everywhere. The people I sold systems to where wanting to relive the gaming days of past. Now they can just run out to Wal-mart and buy a new Atari system with a bunch of games pre-loaded on it for like $20. In their eyes, they get a more reliable system with better picture for less money. They'll probably play with it for a week, get their fix, and then throw it in the top of a closet where most of the original 2600's ended up. I, like many around here, want to play the original system. I want to be able to slap whatever game I want in. So as long as there are people like me, there will always be some market for the original equipment.

I was refurbishing 2600's/joysticks/carts and selling them on ebay a couple of years back (extras from the collection). I recently thought about getting back into it, but noticed that the prices have dropped a bit since then (at least that what it looks like on ebay). Not worth the time and effort now. Probably a good time to start collecting again. I don't think that it's my imagination that prices have dropped.
