Wungungfuey, Read my most recent post, time for change here, learn from those being patient, and also learn Atari Kiosks just don't show up everyday, once realizing that you may be more knowledgable on pricing which your not, even the fella that purchased driving 9 hrs to pick it up, has been looking for sometime to find one in mint condition, which mine was, mentioned to him that the fella's here on this site thought 200/300 was max, he laughed also, his basement is full of different kiosks, sound like he has the knowledge of what kiosks are worth, plus I had a lot interest besides him, and @ 800.00 plus his trip and extra's put it @ 1100/1200 invested. You call em suckers, whats real is really what applies here and what it had sold for. My advice on a kiosk like mine is between 800.00 and 1100, and 1500 to 2000.00 with the game package, but what do I know, your the expert....not! see ya Kurtzzzz

Sorry, but your rant about me aside, that is not how I was addressing you. I said things no different in intention than any of the people hhwolfman mentioned. And if I sound astounded, it's because of the points he already pointed out. If people just got done telling you it's overpriced, you keep arguing and don't want to listen, you can't expect us to just go "Oh ok, you're right." You're the one that came to AA and to promote this auction, it's not like we're the ones that sought you out. Likewise, to come back with that ridiculous buy it now price even after everything that's been said - it's just more par for the course of what we see by ebay auctioneers as he also mentioned. This isn't our first rodeo, and not our first time on down the block. It may not be your first rodeo, probably your second :}, sorry, when someone tells me what is way to high, doesn't mean anything to me, The kiosk sold on a buy it now with my approval for 800.00 and the fella and his wife and kids were all so happy to drive from Indiana to greenbay to get it, its great, and he had it up the next day along side of other kiosks that he collected over time, the one I had was mint, and I decided after about a month to let it go. So to all you "so called knowledgable" price geeks, take a lesson here, 200 to 300 is high and you better listen the experts here or we new members here don't know anything, recalculate if you will, for the next guy, and listen maybe more than speak foolishly, for you may learn something that benefits your community more than stupid talk. good day Kurtzzzz PS 800.00 + 9hr trip/lodging/gas puts it at around 1100.00/1200.00 invested, far cry from 200/300.00

Hi, I just happen to have one also, we should chat a bit, email me @kurtzzzz1@yahoo.com

If you owned this Kiosk, I wonder what your starting price would be worth??, I'd be happy to purchase these for 200 all day long from you(maybe I wouldn't), the parts are worth a whole lot more than that, out of all your posts, your the only one to belittle me or the kiosk, I feel bad for someone that has to go about it that way, and by the way I wish i had another picture complete to show, but it nearly impossible to find anything on it. You do have an interesting approach, to say the least. I'm looking for solid advice on this site and anything that I can learn,, not and expert either, and hope you can understand just that. express yourself differently would be appreciated, thxs curt YOu want serious advice, You all ready got it. Cpu, is one of the Top Collectors of Atari Items, Trading Games, wgungfu and I are big collectors and wgungfu, Is a very big historian of Atari History. I can't speak for them, but I have been buying, Selling, and collecting since 1980. I Have also Been follwing Atari Prices and Ebay Sales for over 12 years. Between all of us We say it is Worth between $250 and $600., Because it Does not have the Kiosk Board. That is the best we can do. Maybe I appreciate the way you suggested the true value and it may be just that, all said and done, at some point. thank you. no need to be sarcastic or demean/price the idea for what it is, is my only point here, coming to this site. I figure I've been in business 35 years working with people and do sales all the time, its just nice to talk to people or messages in a proper manner, especially if you guys are the true collectors and representing this site, you did well, just your counterpart needs a course on public pr. He's not a shining example on how to address values or people, whether he is right or wrong, sorry, once again you did it with class. Also what I see what some of these games go for, which I wouldn't pay that(not really a collector anyway)for in anyway form shape or manner, It really depends on how deep someones pockets are to buy any of this merchandise, but it amazes me what is paid for some items, at this point making this kiosk look cheap to own, and its rated a 8 of 10 on rarity listed in other atari sites. Just my point of view. Its still a very nice unit, and is still drawing alot of interest. time will tell, and that I have, thxs for the positive feedback, curt Well in wgungfu defense, you came to this site to promote your acuction and see what the experts say it is worth. You then argue with us when we tell you. This happens all the time. Some non game collector, finds something for cheap, then comes here to find out what is worth, puts two or three times that on it and then Leaves never to be seen again. It just riles everyone up. Some handle it different than others. When it is all said and done, you will have sold it for a lot more than you paid. Any time this happens, it is a good day. HHW Your correct on a few things here and willing to take it, and thats ok., but if you read the captions on how wgungfu addressed me from the getgo, listen to this guy, I have been civil to you cause your response isn't offensive, and true facts may emerge about price and yes I won't lose a dime on it, but anyone that sells something that comes to any of these sites and ask for info, doesn't mean we need to be beat on because we want to try for more, its a free world and I still doubt that a site can determine pricing other than throwing out negatives on this site to maybe drive it down in price. I understand business and like taking the shot to make a extra buck like anyone else does, I do collect and sell game/systems bundled and understand the concept. Furthermore what the heck does anyone really care what I sell it for??. Its my loss if it doesn't go for what I want, not theirs. I had some really nice overviews from people like yourself and others and play fair, and I respect that. I really haven't argued at all about pricing to anyone and may be more than willing to sell @600.00 or a little less, so that needs to be cleared up right away, read wgungfu captions right on down the line to me about me and so forth, he personally is a bad example to this site, no matter what he knows about atari, his pr lines are out of line. Talking decent to people is what will make a site great or questionable, your right when I sell I won't be here, but need to educate others like myself coming on here to have civil opinions and pricing rather than a cocky so called expert that stands out from the rest of you fella's that handle it the way it should be, in that regard he may be your bud, not mine.

That will come at some point, already thought that out likewise, but willing to see it out. Putting it up in my store makes it affordable for listing, one reason is to test the market, whether its here or overseas, since our dollar is weak here it may pull more overseas, i had some interest from out there, of course like any seller I want to make as much as possible, and if I had to reduce to meet the true market value in different ways, I will and it would be just fine, and that may come, thxs for the imput. curt

Just one less thing for you to judge or snivel about, i changed the pic, didn't really care for the clarity of it anyway, I suppose most know what it looks like anyway, or they can see it at atari mueseum, curt over there offered me some advice when listing it the first time which was appreciated and respected, one more thing, where is an actual sold/price guide for these, other than hearsay. I be happy to see one, instead of shooting from the hip and listening to 14 differences of opinions, and yes I'm learning still and can lower it someday if needed, just not even close to doing that at this point.

I agree with that, since I did a buy it now and relisted it, maybe 1500.00, not sure, but then try finding another, its cool, very collectable and I'm in no hurry to get it sold, I had some international action on it also, reserve bidding can be challenging at best, darned if you and if you do. I was actually looking for some guidelines for what its worth, but even at best, not a fair indicator. My homeworking this kiosk for what its worth, really means what some is really wanting to pay, not much for results anywhere out there period, I checked, and wgungfu thinks 200.00, i think different. I at least figure @ 1500.00 with a buy it now, is if you really want it, better not snooze, it may be gone. Just another approach to selling, wish me luck, I put in my ebay store, letting it sit waiting for it to happen. It can always be lowered, if need be. Maybe it will wind up oversea's kurtzzzz

Very well stated, in retro-respect what is happening the market place is determining the value of this Atari Kiosk, spoken clearly, I do expect less not having the game board package, but its worth will be judged without it and thats ok, Personally I don't have lots of competition so thats a good thing, making it fun to watch and see what the dedicated people may or may not pay, I have some options if it doesn't meet round 1 @ ebay, and yes it rarer than a picnic table,lol...good thing :} Lets watch this "Rare bad boy without its games strapped on" on see what its worth, wish me luck

Its complete from the factory as a complete unit, just didn't add all the pic's of everything. Like my other post, the other owner stated these could be bought with or without the game package, this one does not have the game package, designed to be played with 2600 system/tv on top with the joy sticks, all the original wiring is complete and so is the cabinet, price, its past your 200 at most number at this , with 2 days left and 43 watchers, try finding them, they are rare, the electronic's and light system is worth more than that. Sorry, without the main board, I wouldn't go much higher than the current bid. If I were to be able to get this to CA in the first place. Good luck with your sale though, all looks really nice. Its all about supply and then demand, I been chatting with 1 fellow and he said 2000.00 and it was picked up from nebraska to california plus shipping. The games might be nice, but its not a complete unit, just adds to the unit, depends on what your really wanting to spend, kinda like stadium events 41,000.00 for a game, I'm thinking it might not have been you to pay that either, but then it wasn't me either, get my drift:}

Its a complete unit top to bottom has all the hardware, this unit didn't come with the 40+ extra electronic games, an option from what the original owner stated, it wasn't removed, came with dummy plugs(from the manufacture) in holes for the games, it is designed to be played with a 2600 system and TV set, the joy stick wiring and hardware is factory complete also. I didn't list all the parts, but everything is there and in great shape as stated, plexiglass doors, lock and keys, shelves complete and all the wood is excellent, hope this answers all those suspicions of what is there and isn't. Not many of these around I do know that. 2days left on ebay questions call me @ 920-713-6609 curt
