Atari 400 and 2600 are the low end of the spectrum. Since I've seen 800xl's for under $20 and as low as $10 I'd say the 400 and 2600 consoles only are at most maybe about $10 and you would likely do better financially with unloading it as a charitable contribution since you probably wont find a buyer for it even at $10 because the shipping alone will exceed its value.
The greatest value of these old systems is in the periperals. The 400 by itself cannot do much but if you have a half dozen game catridges and joysticks and especially the 1050 disk drives with it the value starts to go up to $20-50 because kids can play games with it and not just learn BASIC with 16K of RAM. Pretty much useless.
