    Question Atari Video Game ROM

    I found the thread from 11-16-2011 about the Atari system. I didn't read or find any mention about the individual games. Question I have is any idea how much the ROM from the game would be worth? It looks like each game has a dozen or less prongs with what I assume is gold on them.

    I have one complete system with two dozen games. Just found another dozen or so games from a different locker I purchased. So I have duplicate games, etc. I've tried out a few of the games. The system has a small short or something in it so the game doesn't start/show all the time. Some games will not load / show on TV no matter what I do so figure they may be bad. I'm thinking of ebaying the system and all the games I can verify works. The rest of the games I would like to scrap if the ROM is worth anything.

    Suggestions?

    Arari 2600 or 5200? I would just put it all together, working or not on ebay and list it as such. Even at a couple bucks per cartridge is still better then pennies per cartridge as scrap.

    If you don't want to sell duplicates, just make 2 lots. One with all the duplicate cartridges and one with the counsel, controllers, tv connectors, power cord and other cartridges.

    Unless you have some rare titles, selling in lots will be your best bet... otherwise fees will kill you.

    I prob will do that wdaddy for the system and the games I know work. It's the other games that don't look like they work that am wondering what to do with. Plus, I may have the ability to get even more games - if not systems at a cheap price. So trying to explore ways to max my profits.

    I'll have to do some research on which titles are "RARE". None of them are in boxes, just loose. I do know I have combat, asteroids, breakout, boxing, soccer, etc.
