Ah yes, Metallica, Megadeth, Pantera, Slayer, etc. All in my collection, among many others

Interesting, my stepson was SAD when I decided it was time!

Yea, one of those things I never decided to do, oddly enough!

Cool - other than a console I sold a couple of weeks ago, I have sold nothing yet that I've accumulated. But it is time ....

Yep - that is why I likely will have to sell these one at a time (as I bought them).

Thanks, I will check that out as well.

Well .... you all are convincing me to just bite the bullet and sell on eBay. I was hoping I would find a very serious collector off eBay who was missing many of the games that I have.

Agreed. I'm not desperate to sell, and I have the time to piece it out .... so I may do just that. I keep an eye on eBay and I see what some of my more rare ones go for. I may have to sell them separate to get anywhere close to what I think they are worth.

Thank you! It took many years to get this all together.

Thank you! I MAY break it up, it depends, I guess on a case-by-case basis. If anyone has offers they'd like to make, go ahead. It is that time in my life to be thinking of other things!

I have been collecting for about 30 years now, and have around 200 sealed games, 3 sealed consoles and one open box/complete. Some games are indeed rare. Given eBay's outrageous fees, I have decided not to list them there. I would rather sell the collection as a whole and not piece it out. I am not sure if there are any collectors here that could afford or want such a large collection. If not, are there any other sites out there that I could list on that won't take a large chunk? Thanks in advance for any ideas you may have. I haven't been active on this site, but I have been here for at least 17 years. For anyone worried about my 'reputation' - I am i-collect-70s-stuff on eBay, check me out if you wish. ^^ Both sealed. ^^ The top one is the only opened but complete system, the bottom is a 1977 heavy sixer. To the right of the sixer is a mini Pac-Man arcade. ^^ In the top left that can't be seen is Berenstain bears, as well as a CIB Nelsonic game watch from the 80's. Far right is Glib. On bottom shelf is a Pac-Man candy dispenser with an Obelix behind, as well as another Obelix, this one just the cart. Far right on bottom shelf that is barely visible is a Swordquest Waterworld cart. ^^ Top left is Rampage; the only game I sent in for rating at WATA. It took 11 months for the one game so I decided not to go further. Bottom right is an Asteroids Fossil watch. ^^ Can't be seen: Sealed Arcade Game Pen, and a pack of unused Pac-Man pencils. ^^ Complete set of Atari Force magazine and sealed Atari 5.25" diskettes. Can't be seen: Atari clock. Atari Collection.xlsx

Thank you for your response - I am seeing one of the ones on eBay now with the grey lettering - not sure how I missed that in my previous searches. Any ideas as to what this might be worth? The roughest section of the box is the bottom right, pictured ... it is in very good shape. I haven't seen a sealed sixer for a while on eBay, but my searching has been hit and miss in the last few months.

I am what I would consider to be a serious Atari 2600 collector - haven't purchased anything in a few years, as other things in life have taken priority. Thankfully though it's never come down to selling anything. There is always the possibility this COULD happen though. I am asking for the community's help here, in understanding if I have a rare piece. Over the years, I have not seen any others like it. I've seen ONE out of Japan that had the grey lettering on the front, but that is the only one I've seen. I purchased this back in 2006 on a risk. As far as I can tell (and I have other sealed consoles) - this has NEVER been opened. I am not willing to open it myself to verify, because at least judging by the box, this might be a very rare piece. All of your collective knowledge and the things you've seen will hopefully help me figure it out. I'm not looking for whether you think the box is sealed - I'm specifically interested to know if you've seen any boxes exactly like this, as I have not. Thanks everyone!!

Purchased a complete Heavy-Sixer with the box, no s/n on the outside, dated 1977 with the chess piece on the front, hex disc joysticks present, no channel selector switch, S/N 29102H. It is absolutely mint condition. Also had the original Combat cartridge with the old-style box with the flip out on the front, first time I've seen one of these, pretty neat

Well, the most I had ever seen spent on a single console before was just a few weeks ago, the one for $2025. It seems that just in the last few months a lot more people have been paying attention and getting in to collecting Atari's, I watch the market VERY closely and have seen prices across the board going up on everything, particularly sealed items. I see people on here saying it's not worth it . . . not to THEM! Apparently 5 people on this last auction thought it was worth $3500 . . .
