If you look around on Craigslist you might be able to find one for a reasonable price. Just make sure that it comes with the power adapter, because those are very difficult to find. I generally just have my 7800 plugged in, and use it to play the 2600 games too.

I do enjoy the 7800 - I think 2600 games look a little better on it and there are just enough cool 7800 games out there to justify owning one.

I have been collecting retro gaming stuff for a while now and have seen a crazy spike in prices recently. I am fortunate to live in Portland because every year we have the "Portland Retro Gaming Expo" and that is a good place to buy games/systems because you can haggle a bit.
