Looking to buy an Atari 2600. Maybe a couple of them. Would prefer they be in decent shape and from a non smoking household. Am also interested in some games. Not looking for anything rare or crazy. Commons are perfectly fine. With my son doing virtual school this year, I am trying to broaden his horizons a bit when it comes to technology and maybe get him off Call of Duty every once in awhile. I will pay with Paypal and shipping would be to Oklahoma. I do not mind paying first provided the seller has good feedback on this site. Yes, I am aware eBay probably has this stuff, but frankly, as a longtime lurker of AtariAge, I trust ya'll more. No, I will not be paying you with $40 enclosed in an envelope. So I've got that going for me.

If it's any consolation, it's fun for about 10 minutes, then it gets old quick.

That's honestly a great quality to have. Unfortunately, some people take advantage of that.

I'd recommend checking out eBay or your Facebook Marketplace. I've gotten some excellent deals at these places. If you can fix consoles, you'll find whole lots of Atari stuff on eBay listed as "broken" or "sold as is".

Thank you very much! I will watch these videos later this weekend.

I am fairly new to Atari. I grew up with the Sega Genesis and really, the Original Xbox, so Atari is not my nostalgia console. I am finding that the Joysticks are fairly stiff. I've read that over time, the rubber on the controllers stiffens up a bit, but as I don't have anything to compare them to, I'm not sure if that's what this is. I have about 8 controllers and they are all fairly stiff. Is this normal for Atari Controllers?

All I know is that I've seen plenty of KickStarter Scams or just plain bad KickStarters and this has ALL the signs.

I see that it was sold. My apologies.
