I can certainly understand the CoCos becoming more popular. They are really cool old computers. My favorites, for whatever reason, are the original CoCo 1s. I find it totally awesome to load up a program from cassette and blast through something like Donkey King. Can't wait till I have enough space to pull my CoCo 1 setup out of storage, and start reading through all those years of Rainbow Magazine I picked up. In other words, I hope that I'll soon be contributing to more of those high prices for CoCo stuff!

Thanks for the comment. Feel free to throw me an offer. As I stated above "reasonable offers are always considered". The price does include shipping costs, which will likely be around $20-25. If restored and completed with an original power supply and switchbox, this could easily be a $300 C64. I just don't have the time or materials to repair right now. I'll even do a one time price drop of $125 shipped. However, I will be listing this elsewhere soon if there isn't any interest.

Hello Everyone, I picked this up recently, and while it's a good example of an early "Silver Label" Commodore 64 computer, it will need some work to get up and running. As such, it is being sold "As-Is" strictly as a collectible. Here's some more detail: Early Commodore 64 Computer w/ Matching Serial # Box: The computer is in excellent cosmetic condition, with a nice, clean case that exhibits absolutely no noticeable discoloration/yellowing. There is some very light wear to the front of the case, but this is definitely one of the nicest Commodore 64s I have seen in regards to cosmetics. As can be seen, this is an extremely early example, with the serial # S00018677 on the computer and the box. I did open the computer to inspect the board, and the original Rev.A board is still in place, and the chips are dated to mid-1982 or earlier (please note that the original warranty sticker is still intact). As can be seen, the PLA chip is missing. The PLA is a common failure point for this computer model, and this chip was missing when I acquired the computer. As such, this computer will need some repair, and may have some other issues that need resolved once the PLA is replaced. However, if you have a working C64 with socketed chips, it likely wouldn't be too difficult to troubleshoot this one and get it up and running. The original box is certainly not perfect and shows moderate wear, however it is still presentable and structurally solid. There are some round puncture marks on the top, which are show in detail in the pictures provided. These early silver label C64 computers are hard to find, let alone with the matching original box. Just hoping to move this along to someone who can appreciate it as-is, or someone who wants an interesting repair/restoration project. No power supply or video switch box is included, and the computer is being sold exactly as I found it. SOLD Price: $145 Shipped (within the U.S.) SOLD Reasonable offers always considered.

Hmmm... What the heck, how about a Labor Day Weekend price drop: $49 shipped within the U.S.

Price Drop: $39 Shipped

I've never fully understood why sellers are so adamant about getting the max Ebay prices when they sell on a website other than Ebay. It's important to remember that Ebay will take about 15% from the sale of your item, leaving you with 85% of the selling price. Also, if you use the auction format, there is a chance your item will sell at a price significantly under the maximum price a similar item recently brought. You can't just look at the maximum prices anyway... you also have to consider the lowest prices. If you feel the game is worth more why not auction it on Ebay and see what the market brings? Personally, I'd bet that the $135 offer isn't too far off from what you will end up with in your pocket if you sell it via an Ebay auction (assuming the game brings between $160-$180). At least just state what you want for the game, as it's very obvious you already have a number in mind. I sell quite a bit of stuff by avoiding Ebay, choosing instead to knock the 15% off of my asking price and sell via an enthusiast-based online forum, giving a fellow forum member a great deal, and still ending up with the same amount of money in my bank account for the item. Always trying to get the highest price (as based on completed Ebay auctions) is best accomplished by using Ebay, but even then, the only party in the transaction that is benefitting is in fact Ebay. The extra money the item brings will be lost by the 15% final value fee. Then again, I simply like to avoid using their auction service as much as possible as I feel their fees are too high. Still, it's your game, and you are most certainly free to choose your preferred sales method.

Hello Everyone, I got this in a lot of items from a guy that was a huge Atari computer nut back in the 80s. Here's the details: Vintage "Atari Field Service Manual" binder full of documentation/instruction outlining modifications for most of the 1980s Atari computers, including the 400, 800, XL, XE, and ST computers. There are also some modification documents related to some peripherals like the 1050 disk drive. Most of the modifications are related to increasing the stock RAM capacity of these classic computers (such as a 256k upgrade for the 800, the 64k upgrade for a 600XL, 1MB upgrade for the 520ST, etc.). Just a cool "bible" of documents outlining the common mods available to computer hackers back in the glory days of Atari computers, all gathered together inside of one big Atari binder. The pictures illustrate an overview of the contents, and do not show everything included.

I'll bump this once before I list these elsewhere. Remember, reasonable offers are always considered!

Hello Everyone, I picked these up a while back from an avid user of the Radio Shack TRS-80 Color Computers back in the early 1980s. Here is what's available: Issues #6, 7, & 8 (Dec. 1982, Jan & Feb of 1983) of T&D Subscription Software's "Coco-Cassette" for the Radio-Shack/Tandy Color Computers. All 3 tapes are in excellent condition, with some minor discoloration to the original adhesive labels on the cassettes. All three tapes even include their original paper brochures, which is EXTREMELY uncommon and were included only with very early T&D "Coco-Cassette" tapes. All 3 brochures are in good, fully legible condition and are fully intact. The brochures contain some general information about the programs contained on the cassettes, as well as a few different advertisements (including an advertisement for a competitor's subscription software, Chromasette!). The cassette tapes were tested and worked great (tested on a functional Radio Shack TRS-80 Color Computer 1 and a CCR-81 cassette drive). Testing consisted of loading the first 3-4 programs on each tape. There are quite a few games on these 3 tapes, including: Defend (a space shooting game) 3-D Maze Coco Concentration Nuclear Power Plant simulation Dual (like Atari's Outlaw) Bricks Stock Market simulation Advanced Pong Loony Lander Diffuse Space Station Shoot Out (a machine language game based also based on Atari's Outlaw) All in all, these tapes are a great part of computer history, and give a glimpse into the state of computer programming in the early 1980s. At the time, cassette based subscription software was a great way for new computer users to get a large number of programs relatively inexpensively. And yes, these are rare. In fact, they make many of the "rare" NES and 2600 games look common in comparison. To provide an example, a competing CoCo subscription software company, Chromasette, was producing only about 5,000-6,000 tapes for each issue near it's peak. Coupled with the incredibly low survival rate of early 1980s computer software, there is not many of these T&D Coco-Cassette issues around any longer. In fact, in the last 12 months, only a few issues of Chromasette and Coco-Cassette have sold on Ebay (I've counted less than 10). Due to the age of the magnetic tape based media, please be advised that these cassette tapes are sold "as-is". SOLD Price: $60 Shipped for all 3 (within the U.S.) SOLD Note: I'm always happy to ship internationally, but additional funds for shipping would be required. Terms: Accepted forms of payment are Paypal or USPS Money Orders. Shipping will be via USPS Priority within the U.S., and USPS First Class International or Priority International outside of the U.S. This does NOT include shipping insurance.

Thanks for the link, however an AtariAge member has already purchased this item. Thanks AtariAge! This Odyssey Organizer is SOLD

!!!SOLD!!! Hello Everyone, If you have been looking for that extra "something" to complete your Magnavox Odyssey 2 game system, look no further! Up for sale here is a great piece of vintage Magnavox history, an original "Odyssey Organizer" produced for use with an Odyssey 2 system. This unit holds the "mainframe" (aka gaming console), the controllers, and 12 games all neatly arranged inside of it's clear acrylic awesomeness. These were produced by Acyrlic Designs Inc., who made similar units for other game systems of the era. This particular example is basically NOS, and doesn't appear to have ever been used (as can be seen, it was found inside of it's original clear plastic wrapping). It was found with a complete Magnavox Odyssey 2 system in the original shipping box, and it appears the two had originally been shipped as a set, and only the game system itself ever saw any use (sadly, the original shipping box was in poor condition). It appears these were only available for sale through Magnavox's official "Odyssey Adventure" magazine, and as a result, not many were sold and even fewer have survived. Overall, just a unique and cool looking item to display an Odyssey 2 system in all it's glory. This is guaranteed to be an original, 100% authentic early 1980s Magnavox Odyssey 2 accessory. For more info, including a picture of it fully set up with the system and some games, check out this link at the Odyssey Homepage: http://www.the-nextlevel.com/odyssey2/collect/misc/storage/index.php !!!SOLD!!! Price: $120 Shipped (Or Best Reasonable Offer)!!!SOLD!!! If interested, just send me a PM. Thanks! Note- Price includes all shipping and Paypal fees I may be willing to ship this internationally, but be aware that there will likely be a shipping surcharge due to the oversized nature of the package. Consequently, shipping this outside of the U.S. won't be cheap! Terms: Accepted forms of payment are Paypal or USPS Money Orders. Shipping will be via USPS Standard or Priority within the U.S. This does NOT include shipping insurance. This can be added at the buyer's expense, just inform me you'd like insurance and I'll refigure the total cost. I am more than happy to ship items internationally, just send me a PM and I'll figure up the total to take the international shipping costs into account. Be aware that international shipping will likely be $50-$75, maybe more. The buyer is granted a 7-day return policy IF the item does not match my description, but return shipping must be paid for by the buyer and must include tracking.

That's some great photography!!! Excellent setup, all of the CoCo anybody would ever need!

Final offer for all of these games. Take $5 off any single game OR Take them all (minus MoonMist, which is sold) for $280 SHIPPED (within the U.S.) Otherwise, they are going up for auction within 24 hours.

I have had several deals fall through for these items, or I simply never heard back from people who asked for shipping quotes. Currently everything is still available.

I appreciate the information, however this particular setup has been extensively tested and is 100% good-to-go. Obviously, many 30+ year old power supplies can develop problems with continued use, but if a brand new power supply is desired, they can be easily found.

ICD FA-ST Hard Drive pics:

True story, the UltraSatan is a great replacement for a traditional hard drive. The unit I have is more of a "collectors" item than anything, even if it does work well. I have just listed it in the For Sale section here.

Hello Everyone, I've decided to focus mainly on the earlier 8-bit computers for the time being, and am streamlining the collection a bit. The Atari ST computers came from the same lot as the boxed ST games I'm currently selling. The original owner was very active in local Atari computer clubs, and both have been modified to some extent, and both were very well cared for. Anyway, enough of the preamble... here's what's available: Note: Feel free to make reasonable offers if you feel my prices are out-of-line. One Extra Note: I am very willing to combine shipping and provide discounts for bulk deals! Whatever doesn't sell here by Sunday will be going off to the auction site! 1. Atari Mega STe System w/ TOS 2.06 & Hard Disk Controller: This is the top-of-the-line Atari ST computer. This system looks very nice and seems to be working pretty well (with the exception of the built-in hard drive). The keyboard works great, the computer turns on and boots to TOS 2.06 perfectly fine, it loads from the internal 3.5" floppy drive correctly, etc. The built in Rodime 200-something MB hard drive seems to be on its last legs, however it does currently still boot up and show the different partitions on it (the more I've used it, the more difficult it gets for it to access files). Fortunately, there are many good modern hard drive replacements, and quite a few inexpensive SCSI 1 hard drives can be found and used in the Mega STe. The case looks good, and is still the nice original light gray color. There are a few deep scratches on the hard drive bay cover, but they don't detract from the appearance much. It looks like this computer was originally a 2MB model, but the owner stated it was upgraded to 4MB. Overall, just a nice, ready-to-customize Mega STe. I'd love to keep this thing around and get fitted up with an SD-card based hard drive and tinker with it, but I'm really needing to focus on getting my Atari 800 setup going. It's a very cool Atari ST computer, and includes a nice, fully working aftermarket mouse. NOTE: Monitor NOT included. The pictured late-model Atari SC1224 color monitor can be included for an extra $35 + shipping Price: $250 + shipping 2. Modified Atari 520STm Computer: Though this is one of the early ST models, this computer has received some pretty nice upgrades. It seems that the memory has been upgraded to 4MB, and it has been equipped with a dual, switchable operating system (a switch on the back changes between TOS 1.0 and TOS 1.4). This 520ST appears to be working well, and reads just fine from an external hard drive and 3.5" floppy drive. All keys are working great, it fires right up into the selected version of TOS, etc. Cosmetically, the case is in very good condition, though some of the keys do show some slight discoloration as is common with the early Atari ST computers. However, it's still a good looking item. This thing would be PERFECT for an external UltraSatan SD card HDD or an SD floppy drive emulator. This is the route I'd go if I end up keeping it, but I'm hoping someone else may be able to put it to good use. The computer also includes the original "brick" power supply and aftermarket mouse. NOTE: Monitor and other pictured accessories NOT included. The pictured early-model Atari SC1224 color monitor can be included for an extra $35 + shipping. Price: $75 + shipping 3. Atari 600XL: This was my introduction into the world of Atari computers, and it has been a great, reliable little machine. It has always booted right up into BASIC without problems, it passes the built-in diagnostics programs perfectly, the keyboard works great, etc. I even purchased the chips to upgrade it to 64k at some point (which I will do if nobody ends up buying it from me). I will include the chips if the buyer wants them, and the 64k conversion looks to be fairly simple and straightforward. The 600XL is a very attractive little computer, and this one is in very nice condition (some slight yellowing/discoloration of the white casing). Also included is the original "brick" power supply, a cassette/floppy drive cable, and an official Atari RF cable with built-in filtering (GREATLY improves the picture quality compared to other cables I've used with this unit). It has been 100% reliable, and is a nice, solid, classic computer. The build quality of this thing makes the Commodore 64 look like a toy! Price: $60 + shipping ADDED: 4. Atari 1010 Cassette Drive: This drive has been tested and is working very well. Cosmetically it is in very good condition, with little to no "yellowing" of the white plastic casing. The drive includes the original data cable and 1010 power supply. Price: $20 5. ICD FA-ST Hard Drive: Designed for use with Atari ST computers- This is a rare, hard-to-find vintage Atari ST external drive. ICD made some of the best external hard drives for the Atari ST computers, and this unit has been tested and seems to be working well. It is still partitioned and filled with files from the prior owner, but could be easily re-formatted if desired. The hard drive includes all necessary cables and even the ICD driver software. Cosmetically, it is in very good condition, with only a few small defects on the top of the metal case from serving as a monitor stand (which is part of the design). Just a neat, rarely encountered item that would go perfectly with a 520ST or 1040ST. Price: $85 + shipping Terms: Accepted forms of payment are Paypal or USPS Money Orders. Shipping will be via USPS Standard or Priority within the U.S. This does NOT include shipping insurance. This can be added at the buyer's expense, just inform me if you'd like insurance and I'll refigure the total cost. I am more than happy to ship items internationally, just send me a PM and I'll figure up the total to take the international shipping costs into account. Be aware that international shipping for these items will likely be $60-80 each, maybe more. The buyer is granted a 7-day return policy IF the item does not match my description, but return shipping must be paid for by the buyer and must include tracking. If classic computing is your thing, or want to get started, be sure to keep checking the marketplace here, as I'll have quite a few more items to list over the next few days.Thanks for looking, and have a great day!!!
