Description

The listing, Vintage Tested and WORKING Atari 2600 VCS Video Game Console + 15 Games and Extras! has ended.

This is my first of 4 big video game console listings! A fully tested and working vintage "light sixer" Atari 2600 VCS! Every game, controller, and peripheral has been tested and everything works!

What you get:

-An original Atari 2600 from the late 70's-early 80's (not a replica or flashback unit)

-2 working joystick controllers

-a set of working paddle controllers

-RF switch and AC adapter

-15 working games including arcade classics such as Frogger, Donkey Kong, Space Invaders, and Millipede

-Free shipping with tracking!

-Reaching 50K gets 3 more games thrown in, 100K 5 more!

-If you're friendly, I'm more than willing to provide you with a plethora of good advice...I own 3 Atari systems and consider myself a knowledgeable resource! I can point you towards some of the best games, tell you what you need to do to hook it up to a modern HDTV, or just offer trivial history points!

Ok, so now the more serious stuff...first off, I know the starting bid may be high for some of you. I usually like to start low, but since this puppy will be expensive to ship and I hate charging for shipping, I chose to instead start at an amount that would help ensure I at least got a fair credit amount for the shipping. I will not lower starting bid or the number of days. Please look at some of the other listian's Atari items here. Some people are asking 10-20K for a single game and 3 bucks just to ship it. Huh? A full setup starting at 25k aint bad, folks. I want someone to win this, be excited, and enjoy it. That's why its here instead of ebay.

2nd part: Listia verified bidders only! Once we have a winner, I have up to 7 days to ship per listia policy, though I will usually do so sooner. So lets have some fun with this! If the response is good, I list a PS3 next followed possibly by a Nintendo Wii and Sega Genesis...maybe a NES if im feeling good! Christmas is coming and I want to hook you guys up! So keep the comments positive and good luck!

Questions & Comments

Cant wait to see what gets added! Thanks for the SWEET listing.

I promise they will be fun games! I swore I wasn't going to stick another person with a copy of E.T. lol

Oct 6th, 2014 at 8:38:01 AM PDT by

Great listing and fair starting price! I hope it goes well!

Sep 16th, 2014 at 11:09:00 PM PDT by

Thanks!

Just sold a Sega here... that allowing me to wait and watch this gem.

Sep 25th, 2014 at 6:11:13 PM PDT by

I remember seeing the one you had listed here...what did the "mystery game" end up being??

Sep 25th, 2014 at 6:30:42 PM PDT by

Epic! I want E.T. though lol

Oct 6th, 2014 at 7:23:23 PM PDT by

If I find a copy ill throw it in.

Oct 7th, 2014 at 10:25:07 AM PDT by

I have one of the wood grain models and atari 2600 juniors and ton of games. I'm an avid collector of vintage systems I don't have enough credits now fanned. :)

Oct 6th, 2014 at 5:34:09 PM PDT by

Cool. You probably have most of this anyway. The only old Atari system I dont have is a 5200. Thanks for looking

Oct 6th, 2014 at 6:06:07 PM PDT by

Oh yeah, I am only 24 and my first ever system was an SNES. I love the simplicity of the old consoles. I have read all about ET so I'm semi familiar with its history! Just hoping to add this system to my collection, i have a nice plan for all my systems!

Oct 6th, 2014 at 4:22:11 PM PDT by

Cool, ill see if I can find an extra copy around as a bonus to the winner. In the meantime the listing has been updated to reflect the 10 games added.

Oct 6th, 2014 at 4:51:48 PM PDT by

Ive never even played E.T! Ive wanted an Atari since i first started playing video games! That and and NES, trying to get these two systems into my collection!

Oct 6th, 2014 at 10:30:22 AM PDT by

Ha ha. So im guessing you are a younger guy? That's good that you want to try out the older consoles. When you play an Atari you might not get the sense of nostalgia but you will get a feel for the roots of gaming and how far its come. If you win this, I can give you an ET, but it isnt a good game lol. Its popular for causing the 80's game market crash.

Oct 6th, 2014 at 1:20:44 PM PDT by

We made it to 100K! When I get home from work this evening, I'll be updating the listing with the 10 additional games that will be added!

Oct 6th, 2014 at 5:28:32 AM PDT by

:) I also bid on a wii

Sep 30th, 2014 at 5:08:20 AM PDT by

Ill be listing one of those also at a later date.

Sep 30th, 2014 at 8:33:05 AM PDT by

Awesome auction.. don't have enough

Sep 29th, 2014 at 6:16:34 PM PDT by

You still have a week to get credits...good luck!

I'd probably bid on your Atari games, but please don't advertise for them here.

Sep 29th, 2014 at 2:57:33 PM PDT by

Awesome Auction!! F&W!! ;)

Sep 27th, 2014 at 10:20:58 PM PDT by

Fanned back thank you

Sep 28th, 2014 at 9:04:24 AM PDT by

You'll probably get extra credits now for that above statement on shipping!
By the way I just listed the SNES in case your handy at fixing stuff also? look for "Snes console" Think I better add "READ" in the title. If someone "GIN's it you'll probably get those credits for this auction...

Sep 26th, 2014 at 1:37:30 PM PDT by

Fanned ya and all that... I also won a SNES on here just a little bit back. It was sent in a shoe box and by the time I got it the system looked like someone took an axe to it. Listia was nice enough to return points so I might re-list it tonight for parts. But my question to you then is... your not shipping this in a shoe box or boot box are you?

Sep 26th, 2014 at 12:15:16 PM PDT by

Lol. I havent boxed it up yet, but ive got a variety of shipping boxes thanks to the warehouse department at my work. Im pretty sure ill have something suitable. Additionally, I will line the box with bubble wrap and probably wrap the console in bubble wrap as well. Got a whole roll of that stuff.

Sep 26th, 2014 at 12:42:13 PM PDT by

If I remember right the mystery was a mint CIB copy of street fighters or something like that... The Saturn is the only one I do not have. I may be listing a Dreamcast though.

Sep 26th, 2014 at 4:10:37 AM PDT by

Ill lookout for it.

Sep 26th, 2014 at 8:25:19 AM PDT by

Turned out they waited to long for the one I wanted to give, but gave 2-3 moderately rare games instead. Plus that system was in near mint condition for it's age... it was a good deal for the winner.

Sep 25th, 2014 at 8:34:36 PM PDT by

I had wanted to bid on it but I already owned most of the games and I have 3 systems, so I couldnt justify it. The mystery game almost hooked me though, lol. Im kind of hoping someone lists a Sega Saturn, I sold one long ago but havent owned one in years.

Sep 25th, 2014 at 10:01:35 PM PDT by

UPDATE: We made it to 50K! Im throwing in 5 games instead of just 3 like I said before. I've also decided to add 5 more if it gets to 75K! Will post pics of the 5 added games soon.

Sep 25th, 2014 at 4:18:55 PM PDT by

Would bid if the box was still there. I already own 3 and only have two boxes. The box is as valuable as the games and controllers

Sep 25th, 2014 at 3:21:27 PM PDT by

Indeed. I have a boxed 7800 but not the 2600.

I feel like I am 5 years old and it id 12 days to Christmas!

Sep 25th, 2014 at 9:49:50 AM PDT by

Funny you say that...Im thinking of doing a "12 days of Sega Genesis" and adding a game each day for someone's Christmas :-)

Sep 25th, 2014 at 11:32:04 AM PDT by

Thought I'd ask... do you have any of the booklets or cases for any of the games?

Sep 24th, 2014 at 6:41:01 PM PDT by

I have several manuals in my personal collection, some for the games you see here, but I keep them with my copies of these games. I can let a couple go as a bonus if bids get high. :-) As far as boxed games, I have just a few that I keep and display. I auctioned a couple of those off a couple months ago here.

Sep 24th, 2014 at 6:47:24 PM PDT by

Oh i remember! Im shipping out an auction tomorrow so will have plenty of credits before it ends! Well i hope it will be enough lol

Sep 24th, 2014 at 4:42:41 PM PDT by

Thats why I made this auction longer...so people can build some credits...good luck!

Sep 24th, 2014 at 6:44:05 PM PDT by

I have been WAITING for an auction like this! GREAT listing, and I'm ready to win this bad boy!

Sep 24th, 2014 at 10:26:32 AM PDT by

That's awesome. Remember higher bids get more games! Good luck.

Sep 24th, 2014 at 4:39:43 PM PDT by

When I want to use an old gaming machine with the coaxial thingy, I just hook the machine up to an old VCR, then hook the VCR to my TV with the red,white and yellow cords. No problem.
I intend to bid on this auction, but I doubt I`ll win. Good luck.

Sep 20th, 2014 at 4:09:31 PM PDT by

Ha! Yeah the VCR trick is an option as well, I had forgotten about that. But getting one of those little adapters is far less cumbersome. Good luck!

Sep 20th, 2014 at 4:18:00 PM PDT by

Sooooooo amazingly awsome!!!!!

Sep 19th, 2014 at 1:15:42 AM PDT by

I like the enthusiasm! Thanks!

Sep 19th, 2014 at 6:44:02 AM PDT by

So how do you set this up? Is it coaxial?

Sep 18th, 2014 at 5:43:36 PM PDT by

Yes. It has a hardwired coax input designed for an RF switch. I'm including an old RF switch, but I'm recommending that those with HDTV's spend the 4 or 5 bucks anf buy something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Atari-2600-Coaxial-Plug-Female-Adapter/dp/B0028MXOF6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=undefined&sr=8-1&keywords=coax+atari

I bought one of these, and it drastically improves the picture quality over an rf switch. I don't have an extra to spare, though.

Amazing. I'd like to bid on this. Time to start listing some more

Sep 17th, 2014 at 5:09:39 PM PDT by
