~ Will trade NON-working Atari 2600 for a PS3 ~

[prorobb]

I HAD to share this with the Atari community!!!!!

 

I was checking some CL listings in the California area (I'm in Ohio) for some Atari stuff and came across this listing.

 

Cali CL Listing - Atari 4 PS3

 

WOW!!!! This person thinks they have a REAL VALUABLE ANTIQUE on their hands...lol The system has no accessories and does NOT work due to soda being spilled on it. BUT WAIT....they'll throw in a copy of E.T. if...AND ONLY IF...it's a 160gb hard-drive PS3!!!!!

 

Anyway....figured you all could enjoy a good laugh....and take my "off the wall" poll too!!!!

 

Take care everyone!

Does the PS3 have to be in working condition?

I'll trade him a piece of a PS3 for it. I'll even include bonus spilled coke for no charge!

 

Just sent an email:

Hi,

I saw your ad, wanted to make you an offer. I'll trade you a piece of plastic from a broken PS3 for your broken 2600, and I'll even spill coke on it for a bonus!

his niece spilled soda pop on it in 1989...1989 holy crap. I mean I have an extra ps3 I'm gonna get rid of but to trade it for a ps3. No dice. I'd do it for Ax's new 7800 machine. But other than that....yeah when h-ll freezes over!!!!!!

Only if I got Pac-Man. What a dope. People should use Google and Ebay more often and research the price of these things but then you never know. There might be some sucker out there.

Give it about ten years, and the PS3 will decline in value so much, that the unknown working Atari 2600 will come out the winner!

But it's *vintage*!

I'm glad you all are enjoying this and getting a kick out of it as much as I did.

 

Wish the "non-knowing" would sell for dirt cheap...like a boxed Crazy Climber they had lying around and just wanted to get rid of it!!!!! LOL
