The Best Place to Buy and Sell Atari 800 Computers

The Atari 800 debuted in November 1979 as Atari's flagship home computer, built around the MOS Technology 6502 processor and loaded with custom coprocessors for graphics and sound that were well ahead of the competition. With four joystick ports, two cartridge slots, and a solid full-stroke keyboard, the 800 was a powerhouse for its time. Star Raiders alone was enough to sell systems. The entire Atari 8-bit family has a dedicated collector following today, from the original 400 and 800 through the XL and XE series. If yours has been sitting in a box in the garage, there's a good chance someone is looking for it right now. Visit a PayMore Store to find out what yours is worth.

How much can I get for my Atari 800?

Trade-in values depend on the specific model, working condition, cosmetic shape, and what peripherals and software come with it. A complete Atari 800 in good working order with the original box and documentation will bring the highest offers. Cartridge collections are valuable too, especially rarer titles. Our pricing systems are updated daily.

Enjoy Peace of Mind

Expert Evaluation You Can Trust

At PayMore, we know the difference between an early CTIA-equipped Atari 800 and a later GTIA model. We understand why a complete-in-box 1200XL can fetch a premium despite its short production run, and we know which cartridge titles collectors are chasing. Every system gets a thorough, informed evaluation based on real market data. You get a fair price, no matter what shape your system is in.

Buy. Sell. Trade. Recycle.

All Electronics Welcome

Get The Most For Your Trade-In

The best way to maximize your payout is to bring everything. Power supplies, RF adapters, joysticks, floppy drives, cartridges, cassettes, and especially original boxes and manuals all add value. If you have a complete setup with disk drives and a printer, bring the whole kit. Collectors love complete systems. You can also choose store credit instead of cash for even more value, and put that credit toward anything in our store.

Still Have Questions? Read our FAQs

What if my Atari 800 doesn't power on?

We still buy it. Non-working Atari 8-bit computers are still in demand for parts and restoration. Many common issues (bad power supplies, loose cartridge slots, dirty contacts) are fixable, and collectors are always looking for project machines. Bring it in and our team will make an offer.

Do you buy Atari cartridges and peripherals without the computer?

Yes. We purchase Atari 8-bit cartridges, disk drives, joysticks, and other peripherals on their own. If you have a box of Atari cartridges in the attic, they could be worth cash.

I also have an Atari 2600 and some other Atari stuff. Do you buy those?

We do. PayMore buys Atari products across the board, from the 2600 and 5200 to the 7800, Lynx, Jaguar, and ST computers. Bring everything you have and get cash for the whole collection.
