Did it ever occur to you that the seller may have a stackload of these? Maybe your right. my message said that I could find out why the second chance offer by clicking on bid history but I don't know how to find the bid history on item page. You click on the number of bids. http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&item=380170419682 Thanks you learn something new every day

The only carts I have that died are the ones that my 9yr old kept pulling out of my systems after forgetting to turn off the console but this may be just because they were on the way out. Not sure though. I didn't get mad cause he's young and forgets a bunch and I should have kept a closer eye on him. Does anyone know if this can kill a cart?

Not sure but I've gotten bulk packs of the same game sealed in an auction before. I probably should have waited longer to post and seen if the high bidder got any bad feed backs. He only has 24 feed backs on record but all were good though.

Three of these auctions came back with a second chance offer to buy at less than the winning bid. Wonder why? Almost had them at 77.00 till the winning bidder jumped in and went bid nuts. Probably didn't have the $ to cover all of them. I'd post a link but it would be to my in box on ebay and would give everyone access to all my messages. If anyone knows a way around this issue let me know as i'd be happy to post if there's an interest. I think it's un fair to jack the price of an auction sky high if your not going to take the item as it changes every part of the auctions outcome from then on. What is every ones opinion on this? Maybe they would have gone high anyways but who knows. The user that didn't take them still has 100% positive feedback. I'll let everyone know if that changes in a day or to.

not mine but thought it was cool http://cgi.ebay.com/Atari-5200-Multi-Cart_W0QQitemZ260495364333QQcmdZViewItemQQptZVideo_Games_Games?hash=item3ca6bbd0ed don't have a clue what its worth though. Figured I'd post just in case someone may want it.

Thanks guys that was great info

I was wondering if anyone knew the story behind the release of the 7800 missing in action. The rarity guide says prototype but I'm guessing it needs to be updated? Thanks

Dude, you posted about these in another thread. http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/152540-heres-a-few-interesting-auctions/ Woops forgot to much green.

Sweet thanks for the heads up. My 7800 has issues but I can always get another.

Are there any good rarity guides for the coleco? Also are the values of carts comparable to atari if the rarity is the same? Thanks

Compatabilty problems? You mean there are some games the 2-port and the * 4-port can't play? a four port can play all 5200 games but doesn't work with the 2600 adapter. The two port works with the 2600 adapter but not all the 5200 games. I don't know which games are incompatible though

I know what you mean. A friend of mine pointed it out to me and wanted it till I told him what hoser video was.

I have both and noticed the sears has a beefier case. If you have both lay them side by side and look at the black plastic on the left and right top of your consoles. On mine the sears has more plastic, you have to look close. Both are sunnyvilles so I'd have to say the sears. Curious if anyone else noticed this?

That's cool. You should go back sometime soon and snap a few pictures of it to share with the community. I'll pay for your meal just to see the pics.

If the word sears is on the stick then your styling. they are a cx10. heres a pic. http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/96512-is-this-a-cx-10/page__p__1172240entry1172240 if you want to be sure you can do a rip down to make sure there are springs inside. If the word top is on the painted part then you have a cx 40 which isn't original to the 77's of ether style.

I collect all video games and would like to get an Atari computer. What is the best to get? I'd like to get top of the line and a first release of it if possible. I want a system that has the largest game selection for it. Are the Atari computer games better the atari console games?

use this (http://cgi.ebay.com/Atari-RF-TV-Adapter-Direct-Connect-2600-7800-5200-Etc_W0QQitemZ140350006548QQcmdZViewItemQQptZVideo_Games_Accessories?hash=item20ad832514) hook it on your tv where the coaxle goes. If your tv doesn't have that you can run it to the input on your vcr. The channel you will use will depend on which way your 7800 switch is set. on the back of your atari 7800 is a switch with a circle and a square one on each side. this is the channel select switch. The circle is channel 3 and the square is channel 4. If direct to your tv make sure your on the right channel for the mode your 7800 is set for and if direct to your vcr then put tv on channel for vcr and vcr should be on channel setting the 7800 is set for. plug power adapter into wall and your set. If yov use the original rf then you will need an adapter that goes from the ancient 2 wire to co axle and hook the same way the two wires can hook to ether side of the adapter but this way can have issues if the original rf has issues which is probably the most common Atari problem. If you want an s video mod or an av mod ill hook you up for the cost plus $10 and shipping both ways. I have a lot of spare time as I'm disabled so the wait would be minimal. If you have a different adapter let me know and I'll have you up and running in no time as long as your 7800 is in working condition. Hope this helps.

I dissed the xbox360. finally got one to have for my collection of then and now but still hate the system because she has a lot of problems that I've dealt with so far but when you pay almost 400 for a system it should work at least 20hrs trouble free. Love the games though especially Battle field Bad Company which is why I bought the system in the first place but the issues with the system makes owning one more headache than its worth. My 2600 is 32yrs old and has never had a single part replaced and also preforms almost like the day it was new. How many systems out there can stand the test of time like that?

That is sweet man. My 9yr old son saw me playing atari today and tried it with me and liked it. I bought him an Xbox360 for his first system so I was surprised. Would never been able to afford the 360 if a drunk driver didn't hit me head on at over 100 mph. I got a trailer and 10,000 dollars in video games to keep me content now that I'm disabled from the accident. Now I go to schools to teach young adolescents why you don't drink and drive. I sometimes feel like a looser for accepting a settlement as I was raised old school and believe in making a living. Hope no one cares that I went off subject but I only have 2 or 3 beers a year and I'm on my fourth one tonight. Girlfriend died a year ago today.

I have a fair amount of experience. You mean at the power adapter or I know the 2600 has a little black chip that supplies 5 volts to the board but does the 7800 still have that? I learned about that chip when my 2600 died 2yrs ago by researching each component inside the unit and testing each item till I got to that one which was the problem. Where this 7800 still works its more difficult to pinpoint the issue. I'll grab my multi meter from my parents in the morning and see what my power adapter is putting out. thanks for your help

My 7800 has a color issue with 2600 games. Chopper Command is brown not orange but the reception is ok. When I play a 7800 game like pole position 2 it has static and half the ski is blue and the other half is purple. also the blue and the purple keep switching sides. I have a new 36 inch VIZIO tv. I tried several tv's (older ones to) with the same results. My 2600's work ok on my tv's. I also tried a new rf cable. Any Ideas would be appreciated. Thanks
