  1. Also available is a 2600 console and a 5200 console available, No set price on them but open to offers or trades.
  2. Ive got mine listed for 65.00 + shipping. I did that on another board last time i had a spare and it flew. Ebay gets alot of crazy bidders at times. I try to make a little while finding homes for my spares. If i got a ST i really dont know what I would do with it. Craigslist had a ST complete boxed with monitor for 50.00 but was a local pick up outta my area. A deal like that might be the only way id consider buying one. 8 Bit computers are just easier for me to handle move use and enjoy, I think anything with a cartridge is worth a look. my 5200 is a console only and i dont recall if it works. I bought and kept a good quality control on what i bought years ago and this being the last of the extras / non 8 bit I have to think it would work with the proper stuff for it.
  3. The 8 bit series was both a computer and a PC ( Well they could dial up modem, print documents, be a word processor with AtariWriter. Have cart programs that do designs and art. Disk drives to save your work. And you can play games on cartridges, 5.25 floppy disks, or you can use the keyboard to type line by line programs. In a way it was the first cartridge PC. I personally like this area of Atari, cause its less followed and holds more interest in my eyes.
  4. I dont have any ST systems ( not sure if i want to do since its not a cartridge type system ) But the Atari PC sounds interesting to play with
  5. XEGS is more available I see than the 1200. I missed out on a 130XE but i hope to land another one cheap. The 65XE 130XE and XEGS all use the same power adapter from what ive been reading. Which is a good thing. The 65XE is a nice compact system compared to the others. I can see why however why they changed the XEGS to a detachable keyboard to make it more mobile. I Need to find a nice 800, 130XE and a 600XL and ill be good.
  6. The 1200XL and XEGS are probably the hardest systems to find. 800XE is another hard to get system in the states as I think it was available over seas in europe.
  7. I knew i packed some atari systems in the basement and with the new 8 bit website Im building I went and dug these out . Along with these I found an atari 2600 and 5200 console onlys. Those Ill be tossing up on ebay since they are just consoles but I figure this was a nice rediscovery. Atari 400 (4 Port) Atari 1200XL Atari 65XE
  8. Down in the basement looking for my childhood. Namely my missing Atari 400 800 1200XL along with my atari 810, 1020. Hmm where to start first

      I did locate some of the stuff. Still missing the 810 disk drive and the 1020 boxed printer.

  9. I have available a boxed Atari 800XL forsale or trade for Atari 8 Bit items. Feel free to PM any trade ideas you come up with. $65.00 + shipping for the system But Trade preferred.
  10. Around that time frame. My emails go back to the 10th of feb. I wish not to disclose the town.
  11. Sorry tennis playing paddles . Sorry for the oversight.
  12. Its a challenge to say the least. Posting Item Waned posts. Getting a slew of people with atari 2600 items when your add says no atari 2600 5200 or 7800 please. but i write that off as most dont know what they have. For as with the 5.25s Alot of Antic magazine disks, Analog disks, Atari Disk operating system disk, ACE LIbary disks, a bunch from a company called softsmith. One that is typed Atari Elpaso Texas ( I think its a freeware company ( says public domain disk 1 ) but looks interesting). And a ton of blanks that someone copied files on. I dont think im gonna have the next big find in the floppies. lol. Im still waiting on 2 small boxes of Antic / Analog magazines and computer atari 8 bit books ( that have line by line programs) that are on the way. Everything came out to just shy of $200 plus shipping. The extra 800XL will go up forsale soon since I dont need it along with some of the carts ( I got someone interested in a few) But yeah a nice little find and should be hours and hours of fun. On the back of the 800XLs one has a hong kong label in black compared to the other one which is a normal looking atari white label. I dont know if theres a reason for the difference or if it holds any special interest outside of a different plant it was made from ( maybe).

  14. Do you have label templet for the CXL 4002 series or the face label ( not end label ) for the Atari XE series blue label? If you have a picture please message me Thanks
  15. Good fast transaction. He found me games at his thrift shop. I traded some games and some cash. Great person to deal with, hope to do more trades with down the road. Highly satisfied with this dealing.
  16. Got some new plastic Atari 8-Bit cases. They fit everything but those pesky Romox Game cases. Search goes on for what to store them in.

  17. tackling the first deal now. Still interested in hearing who has what else available but my next transaction will be done after this one is good and completed. Thanks again for your messages of games for sale. Jay
