Good Deal???

[hedgehog]

Is this a good deal? My friend is selling his 2600 for 30$ dollars, it has all connections, a joystick, and 3 games. Think I should consider buying it?

[maximebeauvais]

it looks like a good deal to me

 

if you can trust your friend

I wouldn't pay it, but it's not a terrible price. I hope that joystick works...

Just look at the prices on ebay today and you will see its a great deal.

Thats not a bad price plus it's your friend that is saleing it so you know what your geting and can test befor you buy maybe?

You could probably find it for cheaper than that if you're willing to look. Here's my price estimate given the pricing schemes of the local Value Village's:

 

Atari 2600: $4

Power Supply: $4

RF Switchbox: $2

3 Games: $3

Joystick: $2

------------------

Atari Experience: Priceless

 

Sorry, I just had to do it Those are the prices I generally find stuff for around here anyways (I should probably point out that those are Canadian prices). If you're too lazy to do the searching, I'd say offer him $20 or $25. Anyone who's willing to sell their Atari is not likely to ever use it again anyways.

I got an atari 2600 with 24 games for 20.59 on ebay. It was in very good condition too.

[Atari Master]

That miht be a good idea in my opinion.You don't have to wait, you also don't have to pay shipping.

Well, I'd like to put this into perspective.

The second atari I got (I started off with one from when I was a kid), I picked up from ebay for ~$30 (boxed, jr, with 15 games)

The last 2600 I picked up (hell, the last 4 I picked up) have all been about $3 each. But, that's with joysticks & power supplies sold seperately.

Therefore, if you want the games, *and* the console, it's not too much money to spend. But make sure you keep looking

[hedgehog]

Im jut oing to look around a little more, and try to fnd one for a lower price.

[King Atari]

Yeah, I wouldn't pay $30 for a system as common as the 2600. Maybe a 5200 or 7800, but certainly not a 2600.

[hedgehog]

Yea, I guess tha is a little much. I might go shopping around in the thrifts today, maby I will find something there.
