If its for investment/collectible purpose then I agree you should always keep games/systems sealed for maximum value. For example if buy a rare seal game and I feel like playing it, I would usually buy another copy which is not sealed for playing purposes.
But otherwise if its just for fun then who cares :)
Thank you for all your replies. Sincerely, I'm not convinced if I will sell 2600 and 800 XL on eBay (or something similar) since I consider retrogaming as a strong passion. For sure, I would not ever sell a factory sealed C64! http://images.subeta.net/smilies/639...icon_heart.gif
Approximatevely, and considering they're brand new and not sealed :rolleyes:, what is their value?
Sealed 610.00
Complete 130.00
That is the woodgrain version, yours is probably worth less, but you lost aproximatly 480 dollars!:eek:
SInce its in new condition (even though not sealed) then maybe its worth a bit more, maybe like $200 ?
Also dont know if he lost since we dont know how much he got it for in the 1st place :) mind telling?
Anyone know how much that Atari 800xl is worth?
Grats on your finds!
Yeah where did you find these and for how much :)
Oh yeah, you made 160 dollars or somthing, but still thats like throwing away 3 good black DS lites!:mad:
I saw only 2 of them on Ebay, and they were both boxed, for 50 and 75 dollars.
Hi :)
Grats on your finds as well
Very cool, hard to find those consoles in such condition, congratulations hope you enjoy them
Its always exciting to find the console from your childhood in the thrift shop, and in such good condition makes it even sweeter.
I recently stumbled across a boxed Turbografx 16 in my local thrift shop for only $40, felt very happy
Finding one Sealed Atari system is great; Finding 2 of them, even more so!
I think so :)Quote:

I found them on a shop, I cannot say more though :oQuote:

True. I search often, in my spare time, for retrocomputer stuff (little cities with old stores are exciting to discover). It's easier to find them used, a lot harder to find something new or mint...Quote:

P.S. This reminds me things such a Frogger cartridge for C64 found 7 years ago into a closing shop!
I also enjoy hunting for retro stuff a lot. Its like a treasure hunt.
Every weekend I visit at least 3-4 antique/thrift shops and see what retro goodies I can land. Not long ago I found a M.U.L.E. game for the C64 in almost new condition for only $5
Damn it, you guys get all the good stuff, the best thing I've found at a thrift store is H.E.R.O. for the 2600.:(
I still remember as a kid when I got a brand new Atari 2600 system for christmas... opening it was one of the happiest moments of my life :) So can't blame you for breaking the seal I might have done so too :cool:
I have also found a factory sealed, UNOPENED Atari CX-2600A. I have the original receipt as well.
What would the value be for this?
Oh, and no worries...I'm NOT going to opened it to see if its still works.
This website ;)
This one here went for around $500 on ebay:

So I'd say its around that value, maybe like $600
I see this on Ebay right now with a pricetag of $16,000:
1980 ATARI 2600 WOODGRAIN SYSTEM VGA 80. FACTORY SEALED - eBay (item 200386151755 end time Oct-20-09 12:46:33 PDT)
It's VGA Graded, but I dont think it is worth that high :eek:
