Atari Computer In-Store Display Cabinet CL NJ

[Bill Lange]

I saw this Atari Home Computers In-store display case on Craigslist in NJ this week:

I don't know what kind of condition it is in but it looks like its been used as basement or garage storage.

 

I'm not sure I'd pay $500 for it. Maybe $50.

 

I actually prefer the older Atari Home Computers - Computer Demonstration Center In-Store Display case.

Pretty funny that they guy has been using it to store random shit in his garage, and now all of a sudden he wants $500 for it.

Here a picture of the older case that I like.

Maybe they are moving or it could be the beginning of an estate sale. Who knows.

A generic cabinet that size with glass doors might go for anything from ~ $80 to $200 depending on what materials.

 

Atari cabinet, probably MDF with laminate coverings so furniture value in the lower end.

 

But it's official Atari 80s stuff, never to be made again so worth more than it's practical value by a good margin.

This isn't too far from me but I have to agree with Bill. I don't know if its worth $500, to me.

Probably watched one of those TV shows that shows you everything is worth big bux or went to ebay where everything is shilled and drilled to be worth mega bux....oh looks I found this rat chewed cord but it has an Atari symbol and smells 'vintage' it's gotta be worth $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Here is another Atari display cabinet on eBay. This one is for Atari Video Games. It looks beat to hell! Only $1000.00.

Well, he's gonna have to throw in a lot more power tools than that, if anyone's is going to pay $1,000.00...

I assume that all the mess comes with it, too?!?

That eBay one was probably pretty sweet before someone turned it into a half-assed workbench. Especially love the randomly placed nails in the side for his grinding wheels and crap. What a waste...

 

A smaller display unit near me:
