Price of games & Portable Atari

[Wolf9545]

Does anyone know of a site that will give me a price of how much an Atari 2600 game is worth?

 

Also, where can I buy/make a Atari 2600 portable game system. I seem some that look like a game boy. I want to be able to test Atari 2600 games at flea markets to make sure they work.

No need for multiple posts my friend. It dont go down well here.

 

Your best bet for price guides is spend 6 months watching ebay, to the best of my knowledge there is no 'price list' as such available.

 

EDIT - for the portable thing go to www.classicgaming.com and goto the hosted sites. One of them is called VCSP. You'll find all the info you need on there but beware....it aint as easy as he makes it look! I dont know where you would be able to buy one of the shelf though...TV boy perhaps?

The portable Ataris are offically unavailable. He stopped making them. The last one made is number 32. I know this cause I own the last one made. He said he wants to move onb to bigger and better projects. If you can get one, Its worth the money.

I really wouldn't worry about that. Judging on my collection of approx 200 carts only 2 have I not been able to get working - all it takes is a little rubbing alchohol on the contacts usually. 100-1 are pretty good odds in favour of things not being broken.

Marty which atari portable creator are you talking about? if you are talking about Heckendorn (i know thats how to spell it) im pretty sure he IS still making them, I mean isn't his goal to have them practically mass produced?
