I've suspected for sometime that some Goodwill's have been throwing this stuff out. This just confirms what I been thinking. However some of the goodwill's are putting this stuff up on there auction site. Shop Goodwill Just do a search for atari. They have a few things up right now.

I just wanted to keep this topic current... With the FB2 selling as well as it did and the fact that there is a FB2 give away, Why not make the FB3?

That's really cool. Accounts of atari products being sold quickly like yours are the kind that Atari needs to hear. Maybe more accounts like these would convince Atari that the Flashback 3 needs to happen. Does anybody else have similar stories to tell?

Is it possible to mod an xegs for s-video output? I have an xegs and thought it might be pretty cool to have s-video output if it is not to hard to do.

I was hoping to get this lot, but it went for more than I was willing to pay. Is this price typical for Atari computer cart lots? Goodwill Auction 8-bit lot

Just two hours left!!!!!!!!

I would prefer real atari hardware... I was wondering, do the Jakks plug and plays use NOAC? I want to say yes, but I am not sure. I'm asking this because their games may not be perfect, but outside of using PC emulation they are the closest to the real thing I have seen in a home unit at that price. Now I am not a purist, so I may not notice some of the inconsistencies, but if atari could get the games as close as Jakks did on some of their units then atari may be able to pull off the NOAC chip set. Of course now I am talking of spending mass amount of time programming the games to get them right, and that would defeat the money savings that atari is looking for. I say go with Atari Hardware.

I just wanted to let everybody know that my wife and I are selling off what is left of our 5200 stuff. We will be putting more up as the week goes on. Also, we are now shipping world wide. Please take a look when you get a chance. Our eBay auctions Thanks!

I didn't realize how many people make their own game labels. Now that I know, I thought I would share my method for making them. I know some of you are saying, "we already know how!" and I'm sure you do, but I think you will find my method quite interesting. Here is the link (post #6 & #10) Coleco Telstar Combat! Help me Fix!

I thought there might be a doubting Thomas out there, but all kidding aside, here are four pics for you to look at. I hope these pics are not to large. The baseball cart on the right is the one a made (I'm sure the odd blue color on the word "baseball" gives that away). These labels are not perfect but they get the job done. Keep in mind different paper and types of printers will make a difference, so be sure to play with the color if you are a perfectionist. And remeber to tell them you heard it here first!

I saw this and thought, "Does this guy really think he is going to get this much for them?" If he does (and I don't think he will) I might have to sell mine. Auction #1 Auction #2 Auction #3

I think I might have a good way for you to do your own stickers as well. The method I am going to describe is a little different then what most people generally do. However it can be used for many different things, like game labels for cart or damaged decals. I have been using the method since 1998 when it hit me on how to make very good reproduction label. You will need following: - Photo quality printer - Full 8-1/2” x 11” sheet labels (you can get these through most office supply store like Staples) - Extra wide clear packing tape 3” wide (also found at Staples) - Scissors and a paper cutter (paper cutter is optional) - Some kind of image to print out - Sheet protector or wax paper. Print your image out on your full sheet label (if you want better quality, use photo paper, but then you will have to use glue or double sided tape to hold down your decal). Do Not use Glossy paper or glossy labels! The tape will take care of that for you. Pull off a length of tape that will cover past the end of the image. Place it on top of the image, but try not to touch the sticky side of the tape that will be on top of the image. This would leave your finger prints on the image. Now, place the sheet protector (or wax paper) on top of the image with tape. With the handle of the Scissors rub back and forth to really push the tape on the image. As you do this you will notice that the colors of the image will start to pop or get darker. (it will not look washed out). If you don’t use the sheet protector (or something over the image like wax paper) you will get small scratches on the tape from all the rubbing. Now cut it out with your Scissors (or a paper cutter for a cleaner edge). And there you have it. Most people will not even notice that it is a label you made. If your image is larger than the clear packing tape will cover, you can use self-adhesive laminating sheets. If your wondering how I came up with this method, I was wrapping Xmas gifts back in 1998 and I would use my finger nail to scratch down the scotch tape. I noticed that it would almost vanish and the color of the wrapping paper would get brighter. I figured why not use this to make new labels for my Odyssey2 carts. That the story. I hope this saves you time and money. BTW this method works great on game overlays!

My wife asked me about a question she got on ebay just like this one. Did you try the the hair dryer trick yet? I was just wounding if it worked for you. FYI, the spring inside the Combat unit is a leaf spring of sorts. You might have a hard time replacing it. You might want to look in to getting another one for parts. I only say this because you are at the point I was a couple of years ago with my Coleco Combat. Good Luck! I hope this helps.

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone. The auctions went well. I will most likely put my atari 7800 stuff up for auction soon. So keep an eye out for those auctions. Again thanks to everyone. pboland

I'm sorry. I only ship within the United States. Thanks for your interest!

I have a bunch of very hard to find Coleco promo Ads up for sale on Ebay. These are counter displays meant for stores, part of Coleco's point-of-purchase displays, and would be very suitable for framing. They are 8 1/2" x 11" paper flyers and are highly sought after. These are not reproductions. Please take a look when you get a chance. Coleco Ads for sale Thanks for looking! pboland

Call me an optimist, but I don’t believe the FB3 project is dead. I’ve been looking at a lot of the old postings on this forum, and I noticed that if a project is dropped there is normally a confirmation from somebody close to the project. I have not seen that confirmation yet. (unless I missed something). I know that there was some kind of deadline that had to be met for production, but nobody close to the project has come out and said if it was met or not. So I say “keep hope alive!”

I'm trying to be positive, so here is my two cents. Mabe no news is good news. pboland
