    Default VCS price check

    I recently posted about a VCS I found at Salvation Army and have looked through my doubles. I now also have a guy from Craigslist who was looking for an Atari. Now that I have doubles, I thought I would like to let this guy relive his childhood with his children, but I want to give both him and myself a fair price. What is a good mutual deal for this?

    Darth Vader 2600
    2 joysticks
    1 paddle set
    Combat
    Defender
    E.T.
    Missile Command
    Video Pinball
    Star Raiders
    Pac-Man
    Asteroids
    Space Invaders

    I really only know the DP guide prices, but didn't know what the system would go for also. Thanks in advance again.

    Maybe $30 or so. Possibly slightly higher. VCS systems and games (except for really rare stuff) are dirt common and don't really sell for much at all.

    That is roughly what I was thinking, but wanted to get some consensus as I haven't really been in the position to sell my stuff until recently.

    That's also what I was thinking.

    It depends on the person, but I've found that on craigslist some people will expect you to come down on your price, regaurdless of how good or bad a deal it is. Sometimes I build in a little extra, and sometimes I just tell people no and wait for someone more reasonable.

    Good price. If he trys to obo you, 25 firm since it works and you are local. I see setups like this at flea markets, that's about right.
    I have two basic food groups, fast and frozen.
