I have never seen an 5200 in the wild before and this one looks nice.

From the sound of his ad, he wants a lot.

Agree with Kuros, based on the guy's post it's not worth your time because an actual fair offer isn't what he wants. He's fishing for a n00b with deep pockets. Most of the games are dirt commons, the console box is beat, etc. The only real draw there is a pair of working controllers.
PROTIP: that plastic he mentions is on about 50% of the 5200 consoles still floating around today. It's quite common to find them like that.
This is an amazing find - an Atari 5200 that is in like new condition. The box is a little rough, but the console is in beautiful shape. The protective plastic is still even on the silver strip in the middle of the console.
It comes with the original box, instruction manual, and even the warranty card. Includes power adaptor (still in plastic), two joysticks that work perfectly, built-in r/f cord.
Even better, includes 22 games:
|Super Breakout (inst), Centipede (box & inst), Buck Roders (box & inst), Congo Bongo (box & inst), Qix (box & inst), RealSports Soccer (box & inst), Frogger, Gyruss, Countermeasure (inst), Football, Defender, Pengo, Q-Bert, Space Shuttle, Dig-Dug, Jungle Hunt, Pac-Man, Keystone Kapers, Vanguard, Blueprint, Berzerk, and an extra Buck Rogers.
I'm looking for offers, try to be reasonable, you'll never find this item in this kind of shape in Winnipeg again.
