  • - This is a Magnavox Odyssey 200 video game console from 1975.

  • I bought this when I was in my early 20s,

  • so I used to have my friends come over to the house,

  • we'd have a few beers, and get crazy with the Odyssey here.

  • You guys sound like some wild dudes.

  • DOUG: [laughing]

  • [video game beeping]

  • Back when I first got it, I was the coolest guy on the block.

  • I have a tendency to collect things,

  • and my wife has gently suggested that I

  • get rid of a few of them.

  • Today I'm hoping to get about $350 for it.

  • Oh, it's nice, man.

  • The Magnavox Odyssey was released in like, 1972.

  • It was huge, I mean, it was the first commercially-available

  • video game console.

  • Back then just the novelty of being able to play

  • a game on a TV was pretty cool.

  • Basically it was a little white dot that went back and forth

  • and each player had a paddle.

  • If you hit the dot with your paddle, the game continued.

  • If the dot got past your paddle, your opponent scored a point.

  • Essentially it was Pong, right?

  • DOUG: Yeah, it was kind of a Pong on steroids.

  • Kids these days are totally obsessed with video games.

  • While everybody's heard of the Atari,

  • the Odyssey actually came out five years before that.

  • I'm sure gamers everywhere would love

  • this thing if they could leave their couch

  • long enough to come buy it.

  • You mind if I open it up?

  • Sure, go ahead.

  • Don't break it, Big Hoss.

  • BIG HOSS: Does it take batteries?

  • Yeah, it takes six C-cell batteries.

  • They couldn't even give you a power cord with it, huh?

  • [laughing]

  • There's is a switch on the front,

  • A B, and C, for the three games, the two- or four-player mode.

  • You control the paddle with the knobs.

  • BIG HOSS: What do you want to do with it, man?

  • Well, I'd like to sell it.

  • Any idea of what you're looking to get out of it?

  • Well, I'd like to get $350.

  • - Like $3.50? - OK.

  • [laughing]

  • No, $350.

  • I think it has some historical value and everything's

  • here, the game, the box, the owner's

  • manual, and the accessories.

  • I can offer you about $25.

  • Wow.

  • BIG HOSS: You know, you might want to hold on to it

  • for a little while longer.

  • I mean, you've held onto it this long.

  • It might be worth something someday, just not to me,

  • not today.

  • I think I'll see what happens in the future.

  • All right, my man.

  • Thanks a lot, man, I appreciate it.

  • Thanks for taking a look at it.

  • When he said $75, I was devastated.

  • I paid more for it back in 1975.

  • He said, you know, if you wait a few more years it might

  • increase in value, so I think I'll just

  • keep it and wait until then.
