Hi people! Well.. I am back and my home IP is still being blocked by AtariAge. I've sent a whiney PM-plea to Al but as of yet he has not read it. I am sture he get mutlitudes of PMs everyday so I'm not sure how to get mine noticed I'll keep bugging him. I can log in via a proxy but none of them will allow me to put up attachments.. I was going to post a couple of BYTES up at work today but forgot to put the cover/index pics on my thumbdrive If you are REALLY dying for a new mag to read: BYTE Vol 10-08 1985-08 The Amiga. On another note: I've been contacted by the current BYTE content owners (a representative anyway). Nothing bad and potentially really really cool!

Thanks.. Turns out AtariAge (or its host) is blocking my home IP address.. probably part of a block of IP addresses being blocked. I've sent a message to Al. Maybe they know I have the Amiga BYTE issue waiting to go and are trying to keep it away

Ha! Thanks - She has far more effective ways to keep me off the internet Besides she has been promised 9 solid days of salsa club dancing so she has nothing to complain about. Anyway I sat on the phone with my ISP today and they claim it is nothing they are doing.. GOing on a week of not workign from my home.. I'll do a traceroute when I get home and hopefully at least know where the problem is happening.

I just sold (last week) a boxed 400 for $21 (and another $18.50 shipping) - no power supply. That was a BIN so they could go for more who knows... eBay Atari 400: eBay Auction -- Item Number: 220779729613 I've had really good luck with my Atari items on eBay this month (until I hit the 50th item for the month and they started adding that insertion fee - bastards) about half of them have sold in under an hour after posting.

Sorry for the no-updates.. For some reason my ISP no longer lets me connect to Atari Age - I can get to every other web site so I am still tying to determine what is going on.. I can only connect from work which of course does me no good when all my stuff is on the home machine Assuming I get this resolved soon there are three BYTEs ready to go. I will be in South America starting next week (vacation woo woo!) so there will not be much after that until mid june.

*bump* was I the only one that was anable to conenct to this site this weekend? I had no problems connecting anywhere else.. I've been asked about pricing.. For the whole shebang I'd like to get $275.00 plus shipping.. So the best offer for that amount or more (in case there are multiple offers) I am good to go.. Otherwsie I will break it up into it's various pieces.

I think you would have better luck if you branded it a bit differently. If you are thought of in the same vein as eBay or as an auction site you can't compete.. eBay has some things that you probably will never have: One of them being the old guy that is cleaning out his garage and throwing stuff out for auction having no idea what it is worth. All of your sellers will have some knowledge in that area.. This is also true for your buyers. You are not going to have that guy that suddenly remembers playing donkey Kong on his Colecovision and decided to see if it is available. He is going to hit eBay. You are specialized with a more knowledgeable audience.. I would not charge based on anything other than someone selling an item and it should be a set percentage. one item or one thousand items should make no difference... Sells are what pays. Do not run it auction style, have set prices and a "make offer" option. I should be able to come to your "store" and see if you have the items I am looking for, make the purchase or an offer, and then it is fulfilled. You are simply letting others build your inventory and fulfill the orders while you take a small cut. Yeah sounds a bit like amazon now that I think about it

Here is the next bin of stuff from the closet... 256K MIO from ICD. There is also an adaptec controller, a heavy power supply, and two 30 meg MFM hard drives (miniscribe and I do not remember what the other one was). I purchased all of this as a set in the 1990's. The last time I powered it all up was about six months ago. Everything works but one of the hard drives makes a high pitch whine (and has since the 1990's). The two drives are mirrored and currently boot into Sparta DOS and have and old BBS from back then (Express BBS serial number #0009). The power supply to the MIO is not the original one I imagine (unless they came with a power supply form TRAK minicomputer company) but that is what it came with when I bought it. I can let this go as a set or break it up depending on what people want.

This is the next bin I am letting go. Most of it is apple II books with a couple of TI-99/4A items and a C-64 book as well.. I plan on putting this up on eBay in the near future.. If anyone sees stuff and wants to make an offer before it goes to eBay here is your chance

Here are three from "LotsaBytes" .. Somewhat rare The Stonequest docs are the same ones used at AtariMania. I rescanned them as the first time around I was a bit sloppy. LotsaBytes was a pretty small operation so the docs are not the fanciest. Advanced Musicsystem II - 9,070,600 bytes Stonequest - 1,677,028 bytes Original Adventure - 2,556,961 bytes

Gog Daze 1.1 from APX .. So why is this the only game released that has a version number? Not only a version number but a fork of a version number with a "Rev" in front of it? Was there an 1.0 that had a really bad bug so they were compelled to fix it and make sure everyone was aware? Dog Daze 1.1 - Game Documentation - 5,110,402 bytes

oh.. a bump before eBay gets more of of my junk

I somehow have two set of manuals for Action! even though I think I only have one cart.. You can see from the pics the main manual has a stain on the cover.. it does not go down into the book, cover stain only. Being the nice person I am giving you great people a shot at them before those eBay people Amaze me with your offers!

Moved to eBay with a few other programs.. Thanks.
