+Ksarul Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Actually, the Topper box is pretty HTF. The cartridge shows up somewhat rarely (once every year or two), but often enough to be reasonably collectable--but I've only seen two or three instances with the box in the last 15 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conmee Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Gentlemen, The attention to detail, however, mustn't go unnoticed. Even the "baggie" in which Barrage comes in received a solid "B" rating and we know how difficult to find those are... Condition: Baggie: B (light wear / creasing) Instructions: B (light wear / creasing) Cartridge: A (tested / working) Card: A 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OLD CS1 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Yeah, I shat myself when I saw his Barrage auction. Whether it is rare or not, and even though I have been wanting it for a while, certainly not within my value criteria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I did get the Japanese-spec TI Monitor though. I'll probably set it up to use with one of my Tomy Pyuuta machines. . .that way the whole system will be operating on the same line voltage. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budz2355 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 (Is it even wise to buy sealed 30 year old magnetic media? Is there not a distinct possibility that these could be degaussed by now? Or is physical ownership so valuable that such things don't matter?) I have heard this also. Now that my PEB is finally up and working I played this game I bought on eBay about a year ago. It is the original disk (and packaging) and seemed to function just fine. Strangely enough this title used the Terminal Emulator II cart and the speech synthesizer. It had a TON of voices/speech in it, basically on every thing in the game was spoken through the speech synthesizer. I have a couple more original games to test and if they don't work I will let you know. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 It appears that opportunists attempting to profit off of the work of others exist in every eBay market. Here's an interesting auction from Mercado Libre in Argentina that is selling a DVD with all of the TI books Ernie scanned as part of an auction (and indicates that the cost per book is only two Argentine Pesos, which works out to about $40 US for the 174 books). The auction also includes a lot of games (also on the DVD, apparently), a console, Extended BASIC, and a cassette recorder, for the princely sum of 3,500 Pesos ($400 US). It is in good shape, however, the price is a bit predatory, even for that market where a console is worth more than it is here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Here's one that is reasonable though: one of the Compute! books in a Spanish translation. I've found references to four different TI Compute! books that were translated to Spanish (three of which I've been able to obtain on my own or with the help of a friendly TI user living there). There are actually quite a few TI books that were released in Argentina--many of which were original works. I have acquired seven books so far, and I know of an equal number of additional titles that I'm still looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Ksarul Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I guess the seller is of the opinion that they are the only European smart enough to buy items in the US so that they can sell them for super-inflated prices to everyone else. The price Longtermgaming had for this was crazy to start with--this set shows up on eBay once or twice a year for around $15-$30. . .and it usually has the manual and the Ironheart card. Just having them is definitely not worth the increase in price we see in either of these inflated auctions. I ended up with the Ironheart card as a throw-in with a bunch of other documentation I bought about five years ago. . .and I already had the other manual, as I received it with the disk in a different auction. Patience is king--everything will show up sooner or later if you are willing to wait. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Schmitzi Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Yes, definitely let´s wait for $ 6.99 - "disk & and fresh copy of manual" on well-known, beloved eBay-shop 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega-TI Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 The price is pretty cheap (so far), so if you don't already have a speech synthesizer, but want one to go with Greg's 'In-The-P-Box' interface, you might want to check out << this auction >> and take a chance.

Opry99er Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Complete, in box, original packaging... Not out of this world for a collector. I had two just like this at one point... Got one for free and paid like $10 for the other one. Gave one away and the other is in my stuff somewhere. I wouldnt have paid that, but hey... I have no use for it as a user or a collector.
