The basic set-up, which is what you have there, usually goes for between $25.00 - $100.00 on ebay, depending on quality and how complete it is (shipping box, leaflets (service paper, Thank you note, Receive a free game note) etc).

Further, for a complete basic system, do you have overlays in both sizes? No Tennis overlays? What about the Playing cards for Football, Haunted House, Simon Says, States?
Paper money? Chips? Dice? Scoreboard?

So don't get your hopes up too much for a value, if all this is missing.

A 1974 Promo catalog, on the other hand....that could be quite rare

This might give you an idea, see the chips and playing cards (Paper money is hidden under the Percpts playing cards):

Looks good! I'm a sucker for the original Odyssey packaging. Care to reveal how much you paid for it at the flea market?

You can find out if all the pieces are there by checking here:

If anything is bi-lingual it may be worth more and that 1974 catalog is unusual. They often don't work and most people who sell them on ebay say they are "untested" or they are missing the RF cord or RF switch and can't test it. I've sold a couple of complete working ones for $100-$150 but they seem to be declining in value a bit.

Thanks for the info everybody.

Like most said, it looks like I have the basic setup and yes I have the overlays in both sizes. I don't have any other things that what I list.

I think 100-125 $ should be a good value.

Any other info about that "rare" 1974 catalog ?
