BigO Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 I'm new to the Lynx scene. Don't know much about it yet. Would a Lynx II with original carrying case, battery pack and 17 games be worth $30? (No power supply, but I can improvise one with what I have on hand.) Guaranteed to work. The games: Chips Challenge Crystal Mines II Ishido Jimmy Connors Tennis Klax Kung Food Malibu Bikini Volleyball Pac-Land Pinball Jam Pit Fighter Qix Rampart Robo Squash Super Skweek Toki Tournament Cyberball Xybots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Climber Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Yes, probably more. I would pay $50 for it if you want to make a quick $20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+LS650 Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 None of those carts is rare, but $30 for a Lynx in good condition plus a bunch of common carts is a great price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigO Posted October 6, 2007 Author Share Posted October 6, 2007 Thanks guys. I kinda figured it might be a good price. I didn't know good prices could be found on anything at a pawn shop. I did go back and pick it up. Hadn't really thought about selling it. I'm really not a hardcore gamer though so I may not like it. I'll mess with it some tonight. If I don't like it much, I may consider selling it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 Good? It's grrrrreat! I paid $50 for a Lynx 2 and Baseball Heroes, Toki and California Games. Of course, Atari stuff is rare in Oregon, and I've never seen a Lynx for sale before or after anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+LS650 Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 Look on eBay. You can usually get a working Lynx 2 with a few commons for maybe $30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynxmatt1980 Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 that is a smokin deal! If my lynx broke, i would probably pay up to $50 for the console alone. And games usually cost $5-10 each. I never really buy anything on ebay, due to the risk. but if i saw a lynx and a ton of games at a pawn shop or at another store, id snatch it up for $30 in a heartbeat.

jboypacman Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 That is a awesome price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian R. Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Sounds like a good deal to me, too. What kind of carrying case - a pouch that just fits the Lynx, or the bigger one with the flaps for the game cards? I've got the bigger one and love it. I keep all my Lynx stuff in it, including the power adapter. Only game I'd highly recommend adding is Shanghai. The Lynx is a very good system, with spot-on arcade translations (which can be surprising and unexpected from such a system), good graphics, good sound, nice to hold... and heck, it's an ATARI! Enjoy! Or at least give it a chance before you get rid of it. Even if I don't play it often, I'll never get rid of mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultramoo Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Sounds good to me too, I just recently got my Lynx for $70 on Ebay with an original case and 11 games, so you're making out good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holds the Lynx, the power pack and has little pouches for I think 15 games. Edited October 17, 2007 by BigO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
