There was an Atari 2700?  Yeah, I guess so.  I had no idea.  Sorry, I'm a mainstream Atari lover, not an Atari Historian.

This sold last week according to StupidGamer.com.

"It’s pretty awesome seeing ultra rare and collectable stuff show up for sale, and this one is a true gem. Earlier today, an Atari 2700 prototype sold on eBay for over $5,000. It sounds crazy that someone would bid that much, but the winning bidder is definitely going to be in possession of something they don’t have to worry about finding over at their buddy’s house any time soon. The seller apparently was a game developer from Atari and was given the 2700 as a gift from Leonard Tramiel himself. The auction can be seen here: eBay auction."

Talk about rare.  This is one collectable that is sure to increase in value now that it's been seen in the wild and it's been sold once.  The collector who purchased it is in possession of something truly rare.
