For the Atari fan who has everything...
Almost Rice replied to Bryan's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
You are in Canada. They are probably calculating shipping as Priority Mail. -
Why do people think you are a thief if something is a few days late?
Almost Rice replied to Rev's topic in Auction Central
Cross border and only 2-3 weeks? My package stayed in customs 21 days last time I shipped and tracking showed it. It was not the holidays either. 1 month is typical for all regular shipments to Canada. Sad thing is I can no longer offer regular shipping to my Canadian Amazon customers. Over half my negs were from them because of First Class mail being held at Canadian Customs. If my Canadian customers want to use Amazon, they will get it Express Mail. I could use Priority, but the savings do not justify the aggravation. My FCM to Europe is faster! <end-rant> I have to agree this time of year everyone is impatient because they are buying gifts. I have many orders from Thursday- Sunday that most likely expect it by Christmas, but Amazon clearly states to be guaranteed they have to have bought it by 12/17. I will see how many complaints I get this year from the weekend orders. -

The $18 for shipping would be a bit low then? I do not like the exposed screw heads. If they put this much effort into the case, they should have done it right. -
I would do what Ken says. The MT ram is pure crap. I have 4 130xes and they all act ok. bBut when you really start using them, they start to flake out. Since you are replacing the ram anyway. I would dump all MT chips.

How many of us have real A8 Machines?
Almost Rice replied to José Pereira's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
when you bought it? this year ? I think I got it 2006 or 7. I do not remember. I know it was from eBay though. -

My 1st was a 600xl at $49.99 in summer of 1984 from Consumers Exchange in SF. -

Almost Rice replied to José Pereira's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
I am shocked you missed it. I think I paid less than $50 shipped on ebay. I only got it because the case and keyboard was in such good condition. Only when I got it did I notice the 1200 badge. -

SOLD TRON 20th ANNIVERSARY 2 disc DVD $40.00
Almost Rice replied to lucifershalo's topic in Buy, Sell, and Trade
That the asking price. I wonder how many are really selling. -
I see I am not alone in being a former shopgoodwill shopper. Price are too high. Not worth my time to look anymore.

Intellivision - Help me stop hating it so much!
Almost Rice replied to Lendorien's topic in Intellivision / Aquarius
How about the pain from pressing the fire buttons in the Intv2. My thumbs and index fingers were always numb. -
Why TF is eBay Putting in an Amount for Shipping?
Almost Rice replied to VectorGamer's topic in Auction Central
Looks like multiple system lots will not show up as often. -
They are a bit flimsier and lighter than a std CX-40. I have one from back in the day. we bought it because it was cheaper than the Atari ones. I remember I did not like the button design too much.
-
That is sucks. It is not a good time to be out of a job. I hope good luck for you, Bob.

:lol: :lol:

How much was it shipped to you. I should have gotten this before the dollar became weak against the euro
-
Both versions had the brown labels. I assume the grey label would have the later version. OLD Thread
-
It looks like SDX would fit in 8Mbit cart so Steve would price it at $45 shipped. Still a heck of a profit if it is the flash cart.
-
Wow, $35 profit for the seller is a bit much. Steve would probably sell it for you at $30 shipped and SDX installed.
-
Soon, they will sell it by the master carton then the pallet.

After PMC and Defender Arcade, I decided I would buy anything Bob put out. I have not been disappointed. I love that he releases the roms for play on a CC2. Everyone of the carts I got stay in its packing, but I do check that they work. Defender Arcade did not load. Bob sent out a replacement when I shipped back the cart to him. This was 4 months after I had gotten it. Like you, I have not downloaded it yet. It probably because I do not have a paddle handy.

What software did you install on the CF card? I was thinking of doing the same for my nieces and nephew.
