DavidMil Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 How long has B&C computers been down? I went to look at the site a couple of weeks ago and it was down. I tried to look at their site again today and it is still down. Has it been down all this time or am I just lucky to catch them every time it's down?

jaybird3rd Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Their website is still up, but all the price lists have been "temporarily not available due to maintenance" since August. I'm assuming this is what you mean by "down," since I don't recall the site itself not working. They are still selling items on eBay—I just bought something from them last week, in fact.

+Nezgar Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Bruce told me this August 3rd in reply to an order I emailed him about: "Sorry I am really overloaded and my web site is way out of date. This morning I removed all items from the web site." So.. I guess you'll have to email or call Bruce for current pricing and availability of things... he does take a while to reply sometimes (1+ week) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Heres a link to the site archived from February: https://web.archive.org/web/20180209182003/http://www.myatari.com Looking at the archive for the capture right after that (March 15th, 2018), it looks like many of the price lists were already changed to the, 'Temporarily not available due to Maintanence (sic)" version. Maybe the 08/03/2018 dates shown in these files represent March 8, 2018? ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(530) 295-9270. 11:00am-4:00pm M-F PST. We talk sometimes. He was kind enough to pull some key caps off a 600XL for my 800XL. Said he didn't sell many 600XL any more You're right, a very fine gentleman! David 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am the manufacturer of Elektronite games for the Intellivision and I sell them on eBay just for the advertising effect. I have to raise the price by $10 just to cover the cost of selling on eBay. Like I said before I use it for the advertising effect. Once someone purchases from there, I have their email address and email them direct after that when new games come out. Once I connect directly, they stop buying from me on eBay and go to my website. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
