TheYet-E Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I know these are rare items...curious what they might be worth approximately or if anyone has seen one for sale at auction or online? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Allan Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Nice. Do you have access to a scanner? If yes, could you scan the box? Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheYet-E Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 Nice. Do you have access to a scanner? If yes, could you scan the box? Allan I will try to find a big scanner to get a good scan...the scanner I have is WAY too small. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynxpro Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) They are rare. Plus a lot of them were converted into carrying cases for the Atari STs by various Atari dealers in the late 80s. Mine being one of 'em. Hey, I was young, I didn't have a 5200 back then, and it really caught my eye back at the 1989 World of Atari convention at the Disneyland Hotel so don't judge me!

Keatah Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 How about some face-on "flat" shots of the box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peedenmark7 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 I'd give my eye teeth for carrying case boxed !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holygrailvideogames.com Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 If you ever decide to sell I would be interested in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peedenmark7 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Would be cool if someone repro'd the silver decal , or better still made one out of aluminum and etched or engraved the logo on it. I've seen few carrying cases that don't have sticker lifting issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Phruby Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I admit it is a cool thing but how practical would this be? Did kids actually move their 5200 from place to place? Did anyone really take their 2600 to their friend's house to play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peedenmark7 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 As I was in H.S. at the time,and not a gamer like my younger sibling, I do remember kids taking their systems from house to house, all be not common place. Just about everyone had a 2600, but 5200, C64 and some of the other systems not so much. If you don't have an original box today the case is the next best thing... I wish I had another and boxed at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari the Jedi Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 I was lucky enough to find two of them at the same time both machines now reside in them. I never saw them in the wild before and I'll never see him in the wild again I'm sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
