That, my friend, is what validates their authenticity, and makes them such a great deal at that price (especially considering the free shipping ). Personally, I wouldn't let those babies go for less than a grand -- if I was so lucky to be the owner. Museum-piece condition IMHO. Anther thing is, he's providing this extremely valuable piece of information in the listing description -- which I'm sure most sellers, and buyers, are totally unaware of -- and really shows his knowledge and expertise in the field. "Wired paddle controllers (one pair) for Atari Flashback 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. This unit contains two paddles connecting to one socket. You need to purchase two units and connect to two sockets for four players." For high-end, discerning customers only...

adamchevy Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Not atari related but I watched a VecFever go for over 1000$ again yesterday. That always blows my mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+kheller2 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I don't think this was on ebay, but one of those app things for the phone, a very rare silver basic cart with Rev B. $1000. https://offerup.com/item/detail/980441323/ Maybe it is super rare. But, not $1000 rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+mytek Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Super rare bull shit. Or maybe not so rare, all things considered . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+kheller2 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 2 hours ago, mytek said: Super rare bull shit. Or maybe not so rare, all things considered . According to the FAQ, there were no B carts, but the first C's did have the c1982 Atari Inc. silver labels. Which begs the question why did Atari have silver label BASIC cart labels that were not used... I don't think any C chips were produced until late in the 800XL run, in 84. So did Atari plan on pushing silver carts for the 1200XL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mytek Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 It looks to be a Rev C Basic Cart, like this one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/BASIC-CARTRIDGE-Atari-Orig-Rev-C-NEW-400-800-XL-XE-no-box-no-manual-/131824759771 If it has Rev B basic in it instead, it's probably because someone did that after the fact.

Three or four XL owners in our user group did exactly this BITD; a couple even swapped it into brown BASIC cartridges. Their reasoning was that it gave them a fallback in case Rev. C had incompatibility issues. I don't think they ever actually used their Rev. B cartridges. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a 50mhz 'Turbo mode' switch. That's why it's red. Not a toggle for the internal speaker. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
