Want to trade Sega Saturn system for 800 or 130XE

[+wood_jl]

(going to try to post a picture at the end of this diatribe)

 

I have too many Sega Saturns (4) and I want an Atari 8-bit. So I dug out a couple and one has some scratches (damnit - worthless so I'll keep it) and the other is beautiful that I had wrapped in bubble wrap for years. It is in EXCELLENT condition - this is NO BEAT UP SYSTEM. I was into modding these about 10 years ago and got extras, and hardly used them - even the modded ones since I played (gasp) Playstation all the time.

 

Not here to sell you on the merits of this system, just have a very nice example of one. If you know what this is and are a player or collector of such (as am I) then you know what I mean.

 

Now, before you read further, here's what I want: Original beige Atari 800, 48K, in EXCELLENT condition. GTIA chip. Basic cart would be nice, of course a power supply. Or, 130XE in similar form. Not interested in XL. Some kind of video hookup would be nice. If you're a real collector and could throw in an SIO cable would be nice - I am trying to get back into by beloved first computer with APE/SIO2PC (or whatever that stuff is). That's it. No software, controllers, or extras - just a nice, working computer.

 

Ok, here's what I have:

 

Sega Saturn console - newer version with round buttons.

 

One "original" 6-button controller that still has the cord wrapped in the original tie.

 

One "3D Nights" (analog) controller - excellent conditon - clean and not at all worn.

 

Power and composite cables (of course).

 

Owner's manual - includes "Sega Saturn" stickers!!! (oh boy)

 

One off-brand (but new in the torn-up box (yeah!)) RF adapter. Big deal.

 

ONE GAME - "NBA Action 98." Very vintage I'm not "selling out" of Saturn so I'm keeping my games but had 2 of these. Game and manual, no case (Saturn cases are WAAAAY too big and got rid of them long ago). Very old, but the late Chick Hearn announces and calls the plays!

 

3 "sampler" discs that at least let you play a level of Sega Rally, Panzer Dragoon, and "Nights Into Dreams." I know these are lame, but like I said I'm not selling my games, so at least you can play with them until you order games (which are CHEAP for this system, BTW).

 

Not sure how to work this. I'm no sucker, but if I could be convinced that someone (1) REALLY Had what I was looking for (2) Was trustworthy and had some history here and a reputation/vouchers, I could be talked into sending first; I understand that I am new here and have none.

 

However, you may take a look at my feedback on ebay:

.......and you'll see that I recently sold a couple of Nintendo consoles and got good feedback. They're the only things I've ever sold.

 

On Amazon.com

.....you'll see that I have 72 ratings as a seller, but recently got a bad one.... Some BUTTHOLE gave me 1 out of 5 on a CHEAP game that I sent him and the mailman left it outside (on top of the apartment box) and he got pissed because it could have been stolen. My fault? HE STILL GOT IT AS DESCRIBED, CHEAP, AND FAST SHIPPING!!! I would have refunded if he never got it, as I have before. Of course, it's all my fault because I didn't do my part. Look at the other 71 ratings. Not to mention the myriad who didn't leave feedback because they often don't on Amazon.

 

Anway, I'm not out to screw anyone, but I really want a nice 800, and I think this is more than a fair trade for someone who has too many 8-bit Ataris and wants another Saturn. Maybe we can talk about a deal!

Found one more duplicate game in the stack - "Sonic 3D Blast" with manual, no case.

 

Thanks for looking!

PLEASE DISREGARD THIS AS I BOUGHT A 130XE AND DON'T KNOW HOW TO DELETE THIS

 

IF ANYONE CAN TELL ME HOW TO DELETE A POST, I'D APPRECIATE IT. CAN'T FIGURE OUT.

[mimo]

You can't delete it, but a mod may be along soon to clean things up.

Enjoy the XE,now go and get an SIO2PC
