I have two working consoles, multiple controllers including a pair of 'super action controllers', loads of games and the Atari 2600 expansion module (#1) that plugs in the front (with a bunch of Atari carts too)

It all works, the carts require a little 'TLC' to boot up sometimes but otherwise it's all fine. Some of the controllers could use some attention too. If you've ever had one of these systems you'll know what I mean. Not bad for almost 30 years of play, well, mostly storage.

No original boxes but most of the booklets are there. Well over 50 carts.
Will provide more info and photos if there is any interests.
 
I'll get one posted soon.
Most popular question so far is:

How much are you asking?


And that is a very good question. Since I really have no idea what it's worth and wasn't looking to get rich or gouging anyone...
I'd definitely prefer it goes to a good home and didn't want to just 'give it away' either...

Considering the cartridges alone typically sell for a buck or more (each) at the local rummage/junk/garage sales and I've got over 50 of them...
Plus all the extra controllers, including the trackball module and spare power supplies, etc...

There's a LOT of stuff here, 2 boxes 17' x 11' x 10" in size.

Just to pull a number out of the air... Does $100 seem like a fair starting point? If anyone in the area (S.E. WI) wants to come by and check it out, your more than welcome. Save a bundle on shipping, etc...

We'd really need to see exactly what's included to decide if that's a reasonable price or not so I'll try to get one posted soon.

Lots of fond memories with those old games. Was hoping the kids would've taken to it more, but it's hard to compete with the Xbox/Wii/PS3 systems I guess.

Here's some pics, hope you can read all them game titles.

The Pitfall label looks kinda nasty, like the adhesive is creeping through the paper. And the Adventure one was cut to access the screw, it's been opened, don't remember why. Rest are all in typical good condition.

All controllers are matched pairs. Also a set of cable extenders in there Them joystick 'tops' on the trackball unit controllers pop off (frequently) and can be used on other controllers, with or without, as desired. Can't guarantee all the buttons on all the controllers are still working, some of them were never used in any games, some would stick sometimes. If you ever had one of these consoles you'll know the drill.

More questions...

Will I ship?
Yes, but it's a process, wrapping & packing, postage and you pay the costs. Local pickup is encouraged.

Will I sell '-----' part/game?
Would rather sell it all at once. If you throw a truckload of money at me I suppose I'd reconsider. :D

Those are great systems! :)

I sell mod kits for those on my web site... +5v only memory, dual BIOS, and Composite A/V outputs.
 
Just as a heads-up, I sold/shipped a similar amount of ColecoVision stuff recently, and shipping costed about $38 vis UPS Ground. So, I can heartily approve of the "local pickup encouraged" aspect of the sale!

Here was my listing:

Your pricing seems very fair to me, BTW.

Guess I'd consider selling a few of the games seperately. Let them go to help out collectors and all that. Shoot me some offers via PM.
