HI guys, I am in the UK and I have a pretty big atarti collection for a long while, but due to needing some extra money, I am parting with it very sadly. Maybe when I have the cash I can start up a new collection, but I need to know approximately how much this is worth, and whats the best way of selling it, indivdually or as a collection:

I have:

(UK PAL):

1 x boxed wooden panelled Atari 2600.
(Box is pretty good condition, stand up on own, i repaired it pretty well).

1 x original atari manual "How to work your Atari" (or something)

1 x a letter from captain Atari thanking me for joining the Atari Owners club (pretty cool - I havent seen this on this website)

2 x joysticks (classic red button black stick joystick)

1 x set of paddles

1 x original Ingersoll power cable

(basically the complete set)

Games:

62 fully boxed games. (Pretty much all the popular ones)
12 of these boxes are the Australian type boxes which arent cardboard but a different type of box)

I have some rarer items (off the top of my head):

Fully boxed (original cardboard style):

Double Dragon
Road Runner (Red box)
Pick N Pile
Mario Bros (Red box)
Ghosbusters
Ikari warriors (I think I have this - need to check)
Dancing Plate
Private Eye

Australian box:

BMX Airmaster

Anyways theres some more but I cant think off the top of my head.

But bottom line: 62 boxed games (some rareones) plus the wooden 2600 boxed.

How much can I expect for the collection and should I sell the rare ones seperately?

Thank you for your advice,
Saqib.

I'll give you 5 pounds sterling for it :D

Kidding aside, your best bet would be to dump it on Ebay and see what you get for the lot if you are looking to get rid of it. PAL titles are hard to price.
