PotatoBox 40 Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) Looking for an atari 2600 with a few common games. Mind you I live in Canada. Edited February 19, 2016 by PotatoBox DeLorean and Arenafoot 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DeLorean 1,777 Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Any sort of 2600 is ok w you? Jr.? Vader? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rowsdower70 4,513 Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share 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. Arenafoot, Justin and Retrogamer81081 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rowsdower70 4,513 Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share 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? Justin 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Professor 1,944 Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Any luck on this? It should be pretty easy to find a basic 2600 in Canada. Rowsdower70 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DeLorean 1,777 Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share 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 MaximumRD, Rowsdower70 and Justin 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RickR 14,885 Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 They must still sell them at Zeller's. The Professor, AtariBrian, Justin and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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? Edited March 5, 2016 by PotatoBox Rowsdower70 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sabertooth 2,281 Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share 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/ Justin 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PotatoBox 40 Posted March 9, 2016 Author Report Share 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? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chas10e 1,101 Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share 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) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
