Console System Diversity

Anonymous 7 years ago updated by Koala 10 months ago 2

Systems such as the 3DO, Atari 2600, 5200, 7800, among others have variations that pull a different value than others in the line.  Example:  An Atari VCS (2600) Sunnyvale Heavy Sixer pulls a bigger price tag in comparison to a Light Sixer, or even a "Vader" (All black model).  Even Atari 2600 Jr.s have a different value in comparison to the other versions.  Sometimes, it is also due to hardware changes.  Example: The Atari 7800 has three revisions.  The first release version has an I|O port for connecting to a Laser Disk player (Never supported), and later versions removed the port, to completely removing the cutout in the chassis.


Newer systems in the listing seem to support this, however, I also understand that this has a LOT to do with the sellers knowing what they are selling to be able to differentiate between variations.  As long as we can get "something" to help create a bit more solid listing on vintage consoles, it would greatly help in establishing accurate valuations.

If there is a way to partner with consolevariations.com on sharing their database it would be nice to have the variations. Or just have manual selection of different consoles. Currently the only way is to add it into the notes section of your item I think?
