correagonzalez Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 What happened to atari games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowsdower70 Posted June 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 I guess Gamestop figured there's not much of a market for them. Considering how long I've sold Atari stuff at the flea market, I'd tend to agree. Sad, but true. Perhaps it will gain more popularity as retro-gaming continues to surge.

Dan Iacovelli Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 but oddly enough out of all the classic homebrew market the 2600 has been in there the longest AVC Online:atari-video.club VGS website: http://videogamesummit.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Those prices aren't too bad. $35 for a Genesis for example. Or $50 for a N64. Not bad at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowsdower70 Posted June 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 No, the console prices actually made me re-think my flea market pricing. Dropping my N64 to 45 (w/ 2 controllers) I've always sold Genesis for $30, NES I'll still sell for $60 with 2 controllers just because it looks like Gamestop probably won't have those in stock often for now.

nosweargamer Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Console prices are ok, but game prices are pretty high, even compared to the going rate on ebay. Honestly, I don't see this having a big affect on current market prices. Also, I notice, they are only selling big name games for the most part with most system games not listed. I wonder what they are doing with the large number of common carts they must have received. Trashing them?

I wonder what they are doing with the large number of common carts they must have received. Trashing them? I thought they only took in certain titles? Pretty much the same titles they are selling on the site. So then they wouldn't be stuck with all of the commons..........

Rowsdower70 Posted June 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Maybe adding to the site ......later on? I'd be really surprised (pleasantly) if they added anything older than NES.

I think they're only taking the ones on the "list" you see floating around, and so far nothing over 100 bucks either.
