Brand NEW Atari 1020 Color Printer
I have an unused, never out of the box Atari 1020 Color Printer. Everything is pristine inside, all in they're baggies. It is CIB. The only flaw is 2 punctures on the front of the box. Otherwise the box is in MINT conditon. I call the "punctures" becasue they're not holes, if you taped them from behind, you wouldn't even know they are there.
What is this worth, as I am an NES collector, and don't know anything about Atari.
I doubt that a classic printer is worth much of anything. Can you even get ribbons for them any more?
This doesn't use ribbons, it uses pens and is more of a plotting device than a traditional printer. At one point American Science & Surplus had the official replacement pens for Atari printers (they're more like markers, really) but by now I wouldn't be surprised if they had dried out.Originally Posted by Griking
I'm kinda curious of the value of this, as well... Also, I have a Commodore 64 printer that has never even been removed from its shipping box (the box still has the copper staples and packing tape sealing it), and I'm wondering of its value...

Wanted: Any and all Dragon Quest, Lufia/Estpolis, Tales of series, and NIS games, strategy guides, and miscellaneous items. Will pay $$$ or trade well for items I don't already have.
You can get them brand new from a few sources for $40-$50...but most of them have bad drive gears and it's difficult to find working ink pens, so they're pretty worthless. You're lucky if you can get $20.
I saw a couple on ebay go for in the $75.00 range.
You can buy replacement pens, that will work in this printer at Radio Shack. Plus, it would look great in somebodies vintage computer collection!
Why are you replying to your own topic? And I don't believe that. Links please.
I love it when people come here and ask about prices and then make up their own when they don't like the prices they get.
If you can get some knucklehead to pay $70 for that thing, more power to you...but good luck. This guy has undercut you significantly:

By the way, that guy attempted to sell it for $75 to $100 recently and has relisted it multiple times. But if you want to waste your time, that's your business.
You guys are jerk-offs. I wasn't making up my own price. I was stating that I saw them on ebay for $75.00 and wasn't sure if that was accurate. That's why I posted in the "whats it worth" topic. Now I know why EVERYBODY says they hate DP now and they stay away. Jesus!I love it when people come here and ask about prices and then make up their own when they don't like the prices they get.

No, you said,
which implies that they sold for that much. Which they didn't. I'm sorry your stuff isn't worth as much as you thought it was. But trying to inflate its value by posting ebay auctions with no bidders isn't a cool thing to do.
Quite an amazing skill you have, being able to talk to EVERYBODY.
Bye bye.
This is my favorite part of that auction.
Because you know right after Tickle Me Elmo, the Atari 1020 plotter is next in line on every kid's wishlist!This item is Sold To Collectors Only and not as a Childs Toy.
EDIT: Nevermind.

DP's last to arrive at the party again. What took so long for us to be hated just like everybody else is?

You're right. It's worth $900. It's the granddaddy of all printers. What insolent fools.
Ja, and teh Büttermonster feeds it ink.
Seriously Jared, if you've been here for 3 months and all you've made are 8 posts, 7 dealing with your "what's it worth" and "my eBay auction" I'm currious if you've even checked out all of the nifty things DP has to offer. Obviously this is a collectors and game enthusiasts website so if all you wish to do is resell vintage items but not collaborate about them why are you here? Just research old eBay auctions and stores if that's what you're interested in, don't act as if we're here to hold you back and "oh, no wonder everyone hates DP".

Jesus loves us.
in a very... VERY personal way.
I bought a new SEALED Atari 1020 on Ebay for $25.00 plus shipping. Pretty cool item, but I only got it to complete my XL collection. They are unusable today.
