jeffsgames Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I'm considering selling my 5200 collection. I collect consoles and arcade machines, and this one is probably the least played of all of my collection. I have 48 different original games (detailed below), most overlays and several instruction books, a couple consoles, 5-6 controllers, and trackball. I might even have the vcs adapter but have to check. Any idea what I should ask for this? I want to see if it's worth putting up for sale. I'm trying to pull some money together for a game purchase I want to make. Here's the game list: Berzerk Blueprint Buck Rogers: Planet of Zoom w/ manual Centipede w/ manual Choplifter! Congo Bongo Countermeasure Defender w/ manual Dig Dug w/ manual Frogger Galaxian w/ manual Gorf w/ manual H.E.R.O. James Bond 007 Joust Jungle Hunt w/ manual Kaboom! Kangaroo w/ manual Keystone Kapers Mario Bros. Megamania w/ manual Miner 2049er Missile Command w/ manual Moon Patrol Mountain King w/ manual Ms. Pac-Man Pac-Man w/ manual Pengo w/ manual Pitfall! w/ manual Pole Position w/ manual Popeye w/ manual Q*bert w/ manual Qix RealSports Football w/ manual RealSports Soccer RealSports Tennis River Raid w/ manual Robotron: 2084 Space Dungeon Space Invaders w/ manual Star Raiders w/ manual Star Trek: Strategic Operations Simulator w/ manual Star Wars: Return of the Jedi - Death Star Battle w/ manual Star Wars: The Arcade Game Super Breakout w/ manual Super Cobra Vanguard w/ manual Wizard of Wor w/ manual Thanks!

It's nice to see your cabinet restoration work. Sheesh, you've been a member since 2008 and this is your first post? Well, welcome to AA . . . ! Good looking collection. Pictures would be a BIG help to gauge, and might get you some purchasing interest here. Threads with no pictures die a slow death around here . . . So, pricing? Here's some thoughts - - - A bare console is about $40 - Unless the controllers are rebuilt, preferably the gold dots versions from BEST ELECTRONICS, everyone knows the controllers are nearly worthless. Rebuilt is a HUGE selling point - Trackballs are fun, cool it is in there, depending on condition, $15-$25 - The games look good, nice collection, a few gems in there like MINER 2049er, BOND, H.E.R.O., etc. The manuals and overlays are a plus. My guesstimate for all this is about a $350 ballpark, and expect to come up/down from there depending (star-eyed buyers and lowballers, respectively) I would say craigslist it for $350, and either be firm and wait, or let yourself get talked down a bit for a fast sale. Just my opinion, others may have a better gauge . . . or make you an offer if you include pictures! -a2a Edited March 7, 2012 by atari2atari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3DOMan Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 If you have an extra 5200 console on the cheap I may be interested. I don't need controllers...just a unit, adaptor, and rf lead...let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari2atari Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 For instance, this just popped on craigslist here locally - - http://denver.craigs...2891310169.html Image captured, too, and attached, for when the post dies: Good price for a boxed unit, even if the controllers don't work, or won't work for long . . . -a2a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffsgames Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 (edited) Well I finally got around to getting pics of this. I think I'll throw it on ebay because I want to sell it this week. I didn't have as many overlays as I thought I had. I was thinking of my INTV overlay set. Here are some pics. If anyone is interested, make me an offer. I'll pull my auction if I don't have any bids. Comes with two nice original controllers, and two untested controllers. Bummer no VCS adapter. Thanks!

Cebus Capucinis Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 ...damn, and here I am with no 5200 and no cash.... I really want this collection! If you're still willing to go the AA route, fire off a PM my way letting me know what you're asking and I'll see what I can do. And I'm not one of those lowballers who is hiding behind "Well, I guess I could do YOU a favor and take it off your hands" sort of statements, I'm genuinely interested. Actually, you know what..... PM sent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice collection though but if u absolutely have to sell, you might want to wait around a BIT longer due to market conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffsgames Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 Good Assesment, but as a A5200 collector myself, i would ask more in the lines of $375 and stay firm on that. Nice collection though but if u absolutely have to sell, you might want to wait around a BIT longer due to market conditions. Actually I updated a couple details. I only have a total of 4 controllers and no VCS adapter. Two of the controllers are not great. The other two are nice and stored in the console. None have been "rebuilt" but I cleaned the good pair years ago and they worked well. Haven't used them in a LONG time so not much wear. I know I can ask more, but I am asking $300 + $20 shipping for the entire bundle. I want to sell this as soon as I can, as I am wrapping up some sales of some arcade games and this console to fund a pinball purchase. I've collected this over the last 20 years and I am really happy with it. Bittersweet to sell but I still have several other classic consoles to keep me busy! I still play my Colecovision and 7800 regularly. And of course, my arcade: http://www.jeffsgames.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
