Someone just gave me an Atari XE Lightpen in box with Atari Graphics Cart and a Book, "Mapping the Atari".

The guide doesn't have a price for the item (and obviously there is no listing for the book)...what is the value of both items?

Thanks for the help.

P.S. - Don't mind the dust on the box ;)

Those are fair prices if there's any demand. I see them get less on eBay or in personal sales most of the time.

The prices are fair but a little higher than I actually expected. Atari-8 hardware except in a few cases doesn't hold a lot of value. That is what the two places are asking. Obviously they haven't sold out at those prices but it does give you an idea.

I would pay $10-15 for the light pen setup if I tripped across it at the thrift, etc but $20 plus $8 shipping starts making it a little too dear for me.

Thank you for the info :D

I didn't think they would be worth much, but figured I would check first.
