Switch1995 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Say offer $2000 Sell 20 TI99s for $1000 Part out the other computers for $500 And now you effectively paid $500 to see what is in the large cardboard boxes on the bottom....lottery ticket? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OLD CS1 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 https://www.ebay.com/itm/152424051335 Probably some money to be made here with someone with a lot of time and storage on their hands. A lot of neat stuff in there. There is an Apple ///, I think I see a IIgs, a CoCo, a VIC-20, a butt-tonne of 99/4As (I would almost wager there is a 99/4 in there,) some terminals (my guess is Burrows or IBM,) and of course all of the x86 stuff could just go. Heck, if he would just send all the Intel crap to recycle the rest might be worth a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Vorticon Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I don't usually sell much much on Ebay, but recently I sold a couple of items that were not much used and taking a lot of space (I'm not a collector, so anything not used at least occasionally gets the boot ) What I never realized was that Ebay charges 10% of the final sale amount, and that's in addition to the fee Paypal charges after payment is received. That seems like a lot to me,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitkraft Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 It really depends on a lot of factors. If its something with enough interest locally, or too big to ship, then a local sale via CL or something can often beat ebay. If you can unload it on an enthusiast site like this then that can often be best, but the flip side is unless you have something sought after or rare, members of an enthusiast site know what things have historically sold for and often won't pay top dollar if they can get it cheaper by waiting. Often the larger audience of ebay can get a faster or higher dollar sale and outweigh the fees. I have bought and sold here, audiokarma, ebay, Craigslist and discogs and they all have their merits and I often decide which to use based on what I'm selling.

+OLD CS1 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Anymore, I generally only use eBay to unload stuff that I am really not concerned about making a "profit" on, just so long as I get some return on it. I look at it like a yard sale: I just want to get rid of it and make a few bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shift838 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 FINALLY!! I always miss these and finally got in on one. Glad you got one. I try to keep an eye on them when they get listed and post them here. I was surprised that Jamie had 8 available for purchase today. I think that is the most I have seen in at one time. There are still 2 left! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+chue Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Just stumbled onto some FlashROMs (with case) for sale: http://www.ebay.com/itm/TI-99-4a-MultiCart-FlashROM-99-cartridge-assembled-in-custom-made-case-/282353901815?hash=item41bd9aa0f7:g:DokAAOSwux5YMPoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OLD CS1 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Meh, I do not care for the lower-case "a" on the label. Too picky? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+chue Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 And it's also missing the "-" after the TI. Seriously though I'd pick one up myself, but I am waiting to see how the Final Grom progress goes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arnuphis Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I picked one of these up. Label is a bit shabby but otherwise it's perfectly fine. Mine actually came with the SD card even though the auction said it didn't. So it was plug in and go right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 I'm not sure I'd like that metal poking out the front like that. I prefer the flush mount myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
