Remember to buy a lock for the duffel bag, just to keep the bag handles honest.

Yeah - you really have to watch out for all those baggage handlers who collect Atari stuff... they are everywhere

I don't trust morons on EBay.

I suggest you re-think this attitude. You are cutting out the best source for Atari collectors. Keep in mind that although there are occassional problems with ebay sellers, the vast majority of transactions are completed and for reasonable prices (I have received 100% of items I have paid for). Simply put, there is no other real alternative for many collectors.

And this:

This seller's conduct has been discussed at length. He was good in past, but things seemed to fall apart a few months ago. Severe shipping delays are the main problem.

Why only ship to U.S.? I buy/trade with people in the US all the time and it is easy and postage is cheap too. We want to collect up in the great white north too you know!

Go Canucks go!

Actually I bought it on ebay (no photo) and didn't notice in the desciption "no label". Serves me right. Makes you wonder if the previous owner had an anger management problem.

I usually just snag the cart images here at AA

Well I did just that and doh! it worked amazingly well - most excellent! They look too big on the monitor but come out on the printer very close to actual size. A little cutting to size and glue stick and its done. I don't think someone would notice the 'reproduction' label on a casual examination. So if you need a new label try this first.

well well well...

I finally got my game today and it was in good shape. Now, keep in mind the auction closed October 10, and the package was MAILED on December 26, I still say that is far too long. As this is the second time I bought from him, I conclude that this seller is disorganized but honest overall.

I just got this system - cool keyboard! I hear the games are weak when compared to the 2600, so what are the best ones I should be looking for? thanks

January 6, 2003

Anyone know of a site that has cartridge labels that can be printed as replacement labels directly on a color printer? thanks

Go ahead and experiment - and let us know the results!

I came across the smallest joystick I have seen before today (for $3!) "The Powerstick". It is about 2 inches wide, and the stick is about 1 1/2 inches high. It is great for those who want to teach their small children how to play Atari. It was originally sold for the Amiga but works great on the 2600.

January 6, 2003

I came across a new joystick I have never seen before - an Epyx 500XJ, that has a switch for autofire on it. Highly recommended for Defender or other games that don't have built-in autofire (especially for the $3 I paid). It also has A & B fire buttons, so I thought it might work on the 7800, but it doesn't.

we might be having this meet in seattle not kirkland WA. this year! so that might bring more people in later in the afternoon..

My vote: Seattle, that way us out-of-towners can combine the event with a look around the Pike Place market

Well after 3 months and countless excuses, often contradictory, I have sadly left my first negative feedback on Ebay for this seller. I gave him plenty of opportunity to confirm that the item was shipped, or send a refund. He has done nothing but offer excuses. Oh well, maybe the next buyer will notice all the negatives he has received in the last month. Is there any other recourse I have available?

I am probably going to give him one more week and if the games don't arrive I will make a several hour drive down to Ohio and find this guy.

The address he provided:

James Redd

1506-A Woodlawn Ave.

Middletown, Ohio 45044

January 2, 2003

I have been waiting almost three months for a game from him, and all I have heard is excuse after excuse. I had previously purchased from him, but will not do so again. He advised that his telephone number is (513)-422-9887

The latest possum-glory lame excuse e-mail - stay tuned for more updates! (now almost 3 months post-auction):

I would have liked to have been able to have seen and replied to your message sooner, but Christmas has had me ALL tied up...UGH! I found out why the numbers did not work, The Post Office has informed me that USPS tracking numbers are for use within the USA ONLY and WILL NOT WORK on shipments to other countries! I mean, it looks like they could have told me this ahead of time, (unless the desk clerk didn't know either, a distinct possibility). The good news is that your order is now correctly on the way to you and should be arriving ANYTIME after navigating customs and the Christmas Crunch. What I can do is take a picture of the USPS Receipt for that item and email it to you to show you that it is on the way if you like, or if you want you can call me on my portable phone and I will try to assure you that everything is all right. Thank very much and have a Merry Christmas, and please, don't leave bad feedback as these delays were unintentional and I would've prevented it if I could've.

Thanks,

diode/resistor - I don't know - its this little ceramic thing with four colors on it and a wire coming out each end - either way I have not seen one visible on a cart before.

December 28, 2002

I have a 7800 F-18 cart by Absolute with a single diode visible just above the part of the board that is inserted in the unit. I have never seen this on any other cart. Any idea why?

December 24, 2002

In the few months I have been looking at this site I have always noted the high quality and presentation. A quick note of thanks to those that make this such a great site. Merry Christmas!

re:possum-glory ebay transaction

Its now 2 1/2 months post transaction - and he has provided 2 incorrect ups tracking numbers - this is getting pathetic!

December 21, 2002

the 'new and improved latest excuse' e-mail from possum-glory (now over two months waiting), after I noted the tracking number provided was invalid (another bad sign):

Hi,

The tracking number I gave you for your Ebay order may have been incorrect, please use this one instead at www.usps.com if the other one does not work. (It's one or the other).

Thanks very much.

I recently bought Ikari for $35 and Commando for $17 from bcprs1 on ebay - it may seem like a lot but they are two of the best 7800 games. Commando is available on ebay now:
