Is It Rare?

[Luigi301]

I'm just wondering if a 6-switch Tele-Games is rare or not. I picked it up for free along with a bunch of various cartridges. Was it a good deal?

'Free' is always a good deal.

But how much would I have paid for a 6-switch Telegames, I think the heavy kind?

$50 to $100 tops.

...Is that a lot in Atari terms? I mean I know 2600s are a dime a dozen now...

Well, it also depends on how good a shape the system was in, like do all the buttons work well, does the system have lots of scrathes on it, is it complete with its controllers, power cord and T.V. switch, if its in great shape then I would say that it is worth more than say a 2600 Jr or 4 switch Atari, but not much more that a Atari heavy-sixer.

I have 2 joysticks, 2 paddles, and the original power transformer. All are in very good condition. The joysticks have the orange paint scraped off, but work fine. The 2600 needs cleaning, but all the switches work and it plays fine. Both joystick/paddle ports work fine.

 

EDIT: Oh yeah, it came like that. I haven't gotten around to wiping it down or anything. I haven't bought anything else other than the ~12 carts it came with.
