2600 Kiosk on Ebay

[2600 Kiosk on Ebay]

Again, way over priced. A relisted buy it now of $1500? And here I thought the $400 amount the original auction went to was ridiculous. I'm with CPU and several of the other more established collectors, a POP kiosk without the actual kiosk board is just not worth much more than $200 the $300 range and that's all I've seen those empty ones legitimately go for in the past. If people are willing to pay more than that, we'll they're simply demonstrating Hannum's quote of "there's a sucker born every minute".

 

And I love how the kiosk pic from Curt's site is still being ripped off.

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

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.

 

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

[Atari Retail Store Display Case]

I have an original Atari Retail Store Display case. It's still in the original box. It's never been put together. It has two controllers built into it and I think it has like 42 games built into it. I took the manual out of one of the boxes. It says it is an Atari POP-1A Display. The manual is dated 8-6-81. I attached an image to this post of the manual cover.

 

I wanted to know if anyone knows how rare it is, it's value, any other info you may have on it.

 

Thanks

Hi, I just happen to have one also, we should chat a bit, email me @[email protected]

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

Why don't you add a Best Offer option to your BIN? Then you can see what the offers tend to cluster around. That might give you an idea of what the market values this item at (even though I think you already got your answer the first time you listed it).

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.

IT would have probably Hit $500 or $600 if it didn't have the reserve. If this was in my home state, and I could pick it up, I would pay that for it. HHW

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

[2600 Kiosk on Ebay]

First, as an Atari collector, let me say that I am heartened to see you selling this piece of Atari memorabilia.

 

Second, a number of sellers (quite a lot actually) come by the AA forums to advertise their wares, and all do it with varying degrees of class and tact. Generally items for sale receive discussion (sometimes a little, sometimes a lot), as is the function of these forums, with regard to their value, and many times that discussion involves the perceived value versus the likely fair market value. Many (but not all) of the people who comment on the value of a particular item are serious collectors (some are even moderators on these boards) whose opinions are held in high regard. Yes, there are a few unscrupulous people who will try to score an item for cheap by saying it is worth less than it really is, but for the most part they don't conduct their business in the public eye.

 

So, while this Atari POP Kiosk may indeed be the second version (i.e., without the main board), it is likely not as valuable as the first version, which would probably be considered to be a complete unit. One might think of the value of a Ferrari with an engine and a Ferrari without an engine; both definitely have value, but the latter is considerably less than the former. Furthermore, someone might think it is worth $2000, but that doesn't necessarily make it so. Someone might think my picnic table in my backyard is worth $2000, but a) I would be extremely hard pressed to find someone who would pay that and b) I would more likely find people offering what they fairly think it is worth.

 

Now, interest in Atari has piqued a bit with the sale of some rare games recently, so you may find yourself experiencing a boost from that. If so, you might consider yourself lucky that you get more than what the collecting community sees as its value. These things happen, but for the most part, we offer honest opinions as to the value of something because we typically are fans of Atari (and in many cases pay people a lot of money for something they might think has little or no value).

 

Finally, while you quoted a certain price for Stadium Events (it's okay, even though that is NES and this is an Atari site, we're very video game friendly here), with a bit more research you might learn that while an extremely high bid was placed, it was not paid, and the game actually sold for far less than that high bid. In fact, I think that's an important lesson here: do some research as to the value of something and that will make you a better informed seller.

 

Good luck with your sale, many of us will be watching.

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

[2600 Kiosk on Ebay]

Yah, doesn't look complete at all. Missing a bunch of the sections plus the kiosk pcb. I don't think it's worth that reserve, maybe $200 at the most.

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

[2600 Kiosk on Ebay]

I would love to get this thing.

 

Are you guys sure it's complete? Looking at the photos and what this guy says in his question responses, it looks like some parts are missing including the electronics portion with the game selection installed.
