This week I will be, Lord Willing, picking up a huge lot of Atari items that should fill up my car...possibly 2 loads!!
Here is what the owner sent me...

I have 7 ATARI 800's, 3 ATARI 410 program recorders, 1 ATARI 810 disk drive, ATARI 1030 modem, with many games disk and cartridge.

I have an ATARI 520 ST with SC 1224 monitor, SF 354 disk drive, and 1020 color printer.

I have an INTELLIVISION with more than 25 games.

I have an ATARI 5200 with missile command,super breakout, space invaders, and galaxian games.

I have a COLECO VISION with the expansion module #2 also with Donkey Kong, Venture, Zaxxon, Carnival, and Cosmic Avenger games.

Many are in original boxes and have the manuals too.

Don't know if all would work now, but most did when I put them on the shelf in the basement as I continued to upgade to better systems.

I waited awhile to get back to you as I have been looking through drawers to find more manuals and games.

I found the following ATARI cartridges with no papers or boxes, Joust, Robotron, Galaxian, Qix, Pac Man, Missile Command, Dig Dug, Centipede, Donkey Kong, Asteroids, Video Easel, Chess, and Music Composer, (I think I saw a couple or so of empty boxes down in the basement that matched ), also Freeway in a box. Have 4 BASIC cartridges.

I found the following INTELLIVISION games in their boxes: Horse Racing, Stampede, PGA Golf, Lock 'N' Chase, Sub Hunt, Night Stalker, Astrosmash, Demon Attack, Micro Surgeon, Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, S.N.A.F.U., Sea Battle, Armor Battle, Star Strike, Tron Maze-a-tron, Air-Sea Battle, Hunt & Score, Combat, Chess, Boxing, Major League Basball, NFL Football, Utopia, Backgammon, Royal Dealer, Las Vegas Poker & Blackjack, Bowling, (it talks) Space Spartan, and (it talks) B-17 Bomber.

I also found another 810 disk drive. I noticed that the two 810's have " Happy Enhancement/Compactor in them".

I have Synfile + The Ultimate Filing System with the manual.

I have 2 books about the ATARI called " Mappimg the ATARI " and " Your ATARI computer ".

I have not tried to hook any of them up now and some have been on the shelves and in drawers for years, so I don't know if the systems would work.

Not really, I had to pay $175 and I left the ColecoVision, and Intellivison there(He wanted about $300 for the lot, and wasn't even sure if it worked!!) The Good thing is that almost everything is boxed. It may still be a good deal depending on what I can get out of the stuff I don't personally want.

Wow, nice haul even at that price! The Atari 800's alone will let you break even, the rest is gravy. Funny how almost half the price went away when the two consoles got left.

Nice score, a friend of mine and I are both kinda looking for 800's(not XL's) so I'll keep an eye out if they get listed.

I finaly got some of the stuff listed, It took me 3 times..I kept typing in my image URLs wrong, I finaly got it Right, I want to test the 800's a little more before I list them, They all seem to work great, but the screen is a little fuzzy, I think it is because I am running them through a NES RF adaptor, I will have to run them through the Atari RF to see if they are clear before I sell them.
