Here is another item I had in my closet and I am having a hard time figuring out what this was. It's not the narrow one it is the large square one. If you can't test it any idea on value?

Picture?

Is it the brown one with the silver strip at the top? It's an old version of today's Wacom tablets and such, used on the Atari 8-bit computers. It should have a stylus attached to it and a button in both of the upper corners. It was packaged with an AtariArtist cart.

Yes that is the one. I can't upload my photo of it right now due to comcast updating webmail =( Any idea on the value of such an item since I can't test to see if it works?

My view: if it can't be verified working, I wouldn't spend more than a few bucks to get it, especially without the AtariArtist cart. Even complete and working, I'd pass on it if it was more than $10. It's (more or less) one of those niche devices that isn't going to have a huge audience and most gamers can easily live without it.

I still have my original one from the old days - it hasn't been out of the box since it was retired back then. :)
