I am desperately seeking to purchase a NEW (Sealed or Never Removed From Box) 2 port 5200 system. I figured that if anyplace would be able to recommend a place to look (or someone willing to part with such an item :D ), then this would be the place.

If anyone actually has a great recommendation (eBay doesn't count, obviously), please post it or email me directly if you have one for sale.

Serious sellers only please - as I am looking to make a genuine offer.

Box condition is important, but not necessarily a deal-killer.

Thanks for your time.

Why not just buy a regular used model?

I have considered used models, but honestly, the condition of the systems I have seen and the joysticks have all sucked big time.

Besides, you can't tell much from a photo, and I am somewhat particular about condition.

I'm sure people around here can find you a really nice used system.
They don't fuck you around like shady flea market dealers.

From what I remember some of the new systems sold back in the day had broken controllers. I ended up buying a 5200 for like 15.00 at a fleamartket then I bought a reconditioned 5200 controller from best electronics

It cost a few bucks, but it works like a dream
