splesh Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 I don't know if it will work or not but I saw an Atari 2600 for sale in one of my fave neighborhoods here the other day and I thought "Daaaaaaaaammmmmmnnn I could use a 2600". (inb4 "Get a new console", etc.) Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/58591-should-i-buy-a-used-atari-2600-for-40-bucks/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
data Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 you should be able to find a cheaper one, i got a 2600 + 10 games for $5 (though this was before the whole retro gaming fad).

mcbpete Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 Price of the actual unit sounds OK but $5 per game seems waaaay overpriced. My sister got a 2600 for a quid with about 5 games a couple of years back and managed to sell it for about £190 on ebay....

posture Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 I'd pay the asking price for the console and make him come down on the price for the games. Is this a store or like a garage sale or something? There is a store 10 mins from where I live called Digital Press, who literally writes the book on how much video games are worth, and they overprice the shit out of their games in their store. I feel like going in with the book and being like hey, you wrote this right? Why can't I pay this price?
