PotatoBox Posted February 18, 2016 Report Posted February 18, 2016 Looking for an atari 2600 with a few common games. Mind you I live in Canada.
DeLorean Posted February 18, 2016 Report Posted February 18, 2016 Any sort of 2600 is ok w you? Jr.? Vader?
Rowsdower70 Posted February 19, 2016 Report Posted February 19, 2016 I have a Vader to sell, and would toss in some common games. If you have any specific game wants, let me know.I'm sure I could ship you one with at least one controller and all your hookups for 50-60 depending on where you live. I'd toss in some games free, of course. "For you - Rowsdower from the 70 - have been appointed Omnivisioner of the Game Grid." ~ Atari Adventure Square
Rowsdower70 Posted February 19, 2016 Report Posted February 19, 2016 Guys, he's in Canada. Shipping to him from Texas is not fiscal. Any folks from the Great White North able to help out? "For you - Rowsdower from the 70 - have been appointed Omnivisioner of the Game Grid." ~ Atari Adventure Square
The Professor Posted February 22, 2016 Report Posted February 22, 2016 Any luck on this? It should be pretty easy to find a basic 2600 in Canada.
DeLorean Posted February 22, 2016 Report Posted February 22, 2016 I don't think you're gonna find anyone on here with a 2600 who is in Canada. I think you could find a good deal but you'd have to pay shipping from US to Canada. MaximumRD lives in BC but I don't think he's selling 2600s. Your best bet if you've got to get something already in Canada may be eBay. Here is a link to Atari 2600 consoles available on Canadian eBay: http://www.ebay.ca/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l2632.R2.TR12.TRC2.A0.H0.XAtari+2600.TRS0&_nkw=atari+2600&_sacat=139971
RickR Posted February 22, 2016 Report Posted February 22, 2016 They must still sell them at Zeller's.
PotatoBox Posted March 3, 2016 Author Report Posted March 3, 2016 Here is a link to Atari 2600 consoles available on Canadian eBay: http://www.ebay.ca/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l2632.R2.TR12.TRC2.A0.H0.XAtari+2600.TRS0&_nkw=atari+2600&_sacat=139971 100 dollar Atari's.... Seems quite unreasonable to me.

The Professor Posted March 5, 2016 Report Posted March 5, 2016 One day to go and it's still at that price! You should go for it.

Well anyways, I found this one: http://m.ebay.ca/itm/Atari-2600-with-15-Games-/381561264365?nav=SEARCH I'll try to snipe this one and its from Canada. Also, is it safe to buy used Atari's that are untested?
Sabertooth Posted March 5, 2016 Report Posted March 5, 2016 I have had great luck with untested/broken 2600s. See this link for some examples: http://forums.atari.io/index.php/topic/768-ebay-stories-strategies-and-finds/

PotatoBox Posted March 9, 2016 Author Report Posted March 9, 2016 Well I found this fixer upper: http://m.ebay.ca/itm/Vintage-ATARI-2600-Console-Only-/311560934792?nav=SEARCH I already have Atari controllers and an ac adapter. Should I take my chances and try fix it?
chas10e Posted March 9, 2016 Report Posted March 9, 2016 all the dust foam disks for the switches are intact (around switch under bezel) ... possibly meaning it has never been opened up before. seller seems honest about not able to test & what he recalls about it's last use (a dirty cart could have been the problem in the past)
