Note:  This is the CL listing.  If you are a BYOACer I could probably do a better deal, but shipping might hurt.  Pictures are on the CL ad:  http://augusta.craigslist.org/vgm/3197146981.html


Huge Lot of Atari 2600/5200 Stuff

I am selling my Atari collection.  Everything is complete and all parts are licensed (No cheap knock off parts). 

This includes:
-A complete Atari 2600 Console with special Atari Caddy.
-43 Atari 2600 games.  Including some uncommon titles like Kool-Aid Man.
-A set of paddle controllers, two joystick controllers, and the Atari Trackball.

-A Complete Atari 5200 Console (Four Port Model) with four controllers.
 Note:  This system works, but the controllers need to be cleaned or rebuilt.   This is a very common problem with this system and if you buy one on eBay it will most likely be plagued with the same problem.  I bought one of these controllers BRAND NEW NEVER OPENED and it still didn't work.  The pads on the inside get corroded easily.  There are rebuild kits available online.  I did get one of the controllers to work, this is how I know the system does work.
-Ten Atari 5200 Games including Jungle Hunt (Uncommon)
-Miscellaneous boxes, instruction manuals, etc.

I have added up the values of each piece, taking in note the rarity of some pieces, and I came up with an asking price of $300.00 OBO.  I will be interested in Cash+Trade.  I collect a lot of Sega stuff, so if you have some Complete-in-Box Games or some Sega Genesis Model 1 Parts (Cables or Power Supplies) we might be able to trade some stuff.

I really don't want to break this lot up, but if the offer is right I will.

Call me at 803-760-Six Zero Six Three

guess you wouldnt sell me just a single 2600 controller huh?

[WhereEaglesDare]

Sorry no, I went and looked to see if I could find you one from another source and they are kinda hard to come by all of the sudden.   

Why not just go ahead and buy the entire lot and then you'll have two!

I'll vouch for the 5200 controller issue.  I have gone through a couple dozen of them and they pretty much all have the same issue.


Colecovision, too, to a lesser extent.

What do you reckon a good price would be on Craig's List?

Yea and rebuilt ones go for 60 on eBay. The kits are 30-40. Not worth to me to play 5200, but someone else may want one.

Gold contact kits go for $40+.  The standard kit sells in the $25 range.
