Think of it this way , If your Shopping at Walmart outside or at the Entrance They Have Soda Pop Vending Machine That Sells Single Cans 50 . Your Feeling Thirsty So U Drop Your Quarters Select Product and Usually It Dispenses Your Pop Out Cold And Sealed. Now Most of The time the cans come out all dirty dented and even scratched. When This Happens Do you Consider the Can Used or New because the way u see it is Buying a whole 12 pack The Produce and Cand Dont Come out dented And that's Usually the fact . Irrelevant ? Maybe But Im Only Metaphorically Speaking . So to To Get as close as close as Possible to Explain Y i might think that is From Experience Working @ Walmart Unloading Trucks On The GM Trucks . Fun Fact about Walmart alot of Customers dont know We Recieve Usually anywhere From Usually 800-3,200 Pieces Of Merchandise In The GM Truck We Reacieve Furniture all Electronics, Toys , , Hardware Almost everything Even Groceries Yes Even Thought We Have A seperate Grocery Truck I still Wondee Why They Cram Everything In The GM Truck And I Mean Crammed Up In There Sometimes Just Thrown In There Or Truck Pulls Up Wthe Fallen pallets of Merchandise Wich is a mess To Clean Unload . Whays My Piont To all This ? Having that said I've witnessed brand new 60 inch TVs used as Pallets With Heavy Merchandise Stacked On Top , Ive Seen Stacks of Casses Of Broken Ragu Pasta Sauce Drenching Brand New Boxes With XBox 1 and PS4 . Even Liquid Laundry Detergent Has Ruined Brand new consoles. Now sometimes and I mean rarely will send stuff back but most the time we clean up the box sometimes even replacing air taking out consuls that were brand new To Clean Up And Repackage To send out on the floor to stock and still sell it as new . That's not my this might not be the case for every Walmart store but it is for mine and usually we received two sometimes even three trucks a Day .and it does happen often we get Damage merchandise and usually Clean or Fix to Put out to sell New. Having this said just because my consul is dirty it did have that pink film like New Orleans do on it but was mostly peeled Off. Now having all that said I really thought maybe this consul might be new Your Probably Right However From

[its a 2 Controller Input System And Sorry about Havin Difficultties Reading My Posts . Im a Newbie at This And Still Have Problems With My Writing and word placement as English Being My 2nd Language and Spanish Being My Primary Language in Reading & Writing. So I Do Forget My Placement on wording Things & Writing Wich is why I Voice Text.Having said that I did Take off The Film From Console because it was badly Peeling. And Looking at It seems only 2 Controllers can Be Hooked up.Whats The Difference between the 4 and 2 systems besides the obvious being anle to commect 2-4 Controllers? I will take your Advice on plugging in The Power cord Last becuase i dint Wanna Ruin A Good Thing . Thanks For your input i do appreciate it . quote name=CRTGAMER" post="3932832" timestamp="1515688250] Gaah, throw some paragraphs with an empty line between for an easier read.To see your condensed text, open your post in a regular PC.Your phone possibly not sending the correct javascript matched to the forum to support paragraphs? Anyways, concur with other replies. The missing pink protector and scratched metal confirm definitely not new though in very good condition otherwise. The owner probably had it setup for game play and reboxed it after moving on. Great job by the owner keeping all the cardboard inserts. I cannot tell from the pictures if a four or two port console. If a four port with single power and RF lead, plug the power in last to avoid frying the auto switch connector.

And The Only Other Question I Had Was , Once I Hook It Up Check It Out and Assuming Everything Works , If This Exact System Was Yours , What Would Be The Best Way and Where to go About on Selling This System ? And Ruffly What would U Price This As Usuing The Info I Gave On It ? Any Advice I should Know before selling ? Coming From A person Who has Never Sold Anything Online Only Because Always Afraid Of getting Scammed Not Knowing The Person On The Other End . Ive Bought On Ebay only . I tried Selling This System last Month Starting Bid $150 or Buy Now For $200 With no No Luck Or Even The Slightest Interest On Buyers When Other 5200 Atari Systems That are in way worst Condition & Getting Bids for $300+ . What did I do Wrong ?

Right On Guys Thanks For All your Help , Im Sure ill play It For Awhile Before and if I do Decide To Sell It , the Blue Film Was On The comsole But was already Peeling off , and as for the Controllers , they Didnt come With The Film . I came Up On This Atari When I Was Working On A buddies Camaro Swapping Engine and Transmission in His Back Yard that took Few Days , As I was Working I Kept Admirimg The Atari Box Sitting Outside Next to the Camoro Sitting on a set of Tires Thinking Nothing was In It . On the Last Day Finishing the Job We Drank a few brews and I Pointed Out How Ive Been Wanting To Get An Atari like the pic in The Box . He Said The System Is completely Inside and Asked me If I wantes to Buy , I said I would if i had cash i only got $20 , As srunk as he was he said he Knew He was Gonna Regret it in the Am , And said hand Over the 20 and its Yours , Now Hurry Up And Put It Imside Your Car Before i change my mind . That was a couple months ago and been itching To Play But Thought Id Better Look More into the Value . So Thank U all For Your Advice Knowing That i can finally Get My Game On Without Beimg Worried I might Ruin The Chances of Actually Sitting On A GoldMine . I appreciate all u for Replying and Giving Me Knowledge and Pointers On A System I Knew Very Little About . This Site Was The Only Place I Learned what i needed to Know and I Greatly Appreciate everyones Input On This System .

Here are just a few fotos that i have and can take better points if views on things if needed

Thanks your reply was really helpful, i cant seem to upload photos from my phone and I guess i should of asked correctly if my System was new, When i should be asking , Everything inside looks completely new except for the console that has minor scratches from people opening the box and probably checking it out , so if i sell should i list it as new ? If not how would u describe the minor details of console when tge games , adapters , and Controllers look flawless ?? ,

As for my all capitals post should of pointed out ive already tried ebay comparing to other systems beimg sold and all of em are used and i know new/used items change the value of things,

If Im Misusing this website features and intended use i apologize, im not on here to sell , ive always been wanting to get my childhood toy wich i now have , All i wanted was to get feedback from experts on exactly what i have Is all new & original and if its worth more as is than me playing it . As for capital letters i usued voice text , and I have lots of Pictures i can provide but no knowledge on how to Upload em from my phone .

Hi Atari Fans , I Came Across This Old Atari 5200 SuperSystem Box (Box Kinda Beat Up) That i now Own , And Inside Was The Complete System Looking Brand New Everything Still Boxed & Packaged Like As If I Just Bought It new&Sealed. I looked On Ebay for Value But All Being Sold there looked Used & old . Ive Been Itching To Hook It Up And Give It A Go But dont know Exactly if Thats The Right Choice not knowing If This System Has Ever Been even Hooked Up and if so , Does It Affect The Value , and How Do I lnow For Sure If Its Really Never Been Plugged or used when everything Is Pachaged And Looks Beyond Well Taken Care Of . Inside The Box Is The System With Packaged Foam, and Next to It In A Smaller Box are 2 Controllers in what seems Brand shiny new & original Packaging, White Box That Holds Power Adapter that has the Atari Logo also looks New ,2 Games Both in Original Boxes With Game Manuels Inside 1. PACMAN 2. CENTIPEDE. The Games Owners Manuel & also Has The Atari 5200 Limited 90 day Blue N White Warranty Paper w/4 Regional service Centers listings , and last it has the original Atari mail in Rebate $30 filled out & Signed By Buyer 1/3/83 . So My Questions are 1. Is My Atari New and Never Been hooked up If not How Can I tell? How Much Is My Atari Really Worth & Does It Increase the Value If i have the Manuels and Rebate Forms ? And Is Everything In The My System The Original Parts For This System ? And should i avoid Playing it or even Hooking it up If Im Planning To Sell? Can Anyone Help?
