No wonder it's so hard to find an ST these days

This guy has them all.

Perhaps that is ST or JT's second home

[+GroovyBee]

I can see a few Beebs as well. Atari STs are available on the UKs ebay.

[monzamess]

Plus some A500s.

 

So much yellowing...

Wow, Bob didn't show me his patio!

[anzac]

What a waste of classic machines...

[raskar42]

he's going to use them to make a fort.

And there's me thinking bob was only clearing out his attic

[+DarkLord]

I just hope and pray all these classic machines wind up in the hands

of enthusiasts, who will put them to good use, and not some landfill.

My wife is pretty understanding when it comes to Atari but I don't think she'd be THAT understanding

[+wood_jl]

I hope he "Scotchguarded" them in case it rains.

Yes that berk bid on an item of mine on ebay then cancelled his bid just before the end of the auction meaning someone won them for peanuts. He's now banned from bidding on my items!!

[+orpheuswaking]

Who is it?

[Atarigmr]

Heck,and me wanting to have an ST....

[nathanallan]

I see he has one box there, and it's black. I have one and it's light gray. Are many of these boxes like mine? Did I get a bulk style one, with no fancy graphics? I'll have to take a picture.

[svenski]

Atari sold a lot of STs in specific packs with bundled games and utilities , at least in the UK, such as the "Discovery Pack" which I think that might the box from.

That Pic could be the back of Derek Fern's (Mr Micro Discount) abode in Birmingham. After all i recall he did some sort of deal with Atari UK and promptly cleared their slough warehouse (probably also gobbled up some ST/Falcon kit as well)

[+orpheuswaking]

Fern cleared out all of his Atari stuff years ago.

Who is it?

 

 

Don't know. I randomly snagged the pic from someone's facebook. I didn't pay much attention to the name. I found it doing a search for members who had 'Atari' listed as an interest. I do remember that he was in the UK, though. I searched about 100 names that day, so it would take me too long to find it again.

By the looks of things, it looks like a former Atari dealer or some ex director of an old atari dealer (who obviously sold other kit/gear like amigas, falcon's, bbc's and even amstrad pcw's...as there's an anstrad pcw keyboard in that pic as well)

 

If not dealer, someone that repaired or serviced atari and non atari kit/gear

 

Or someone obtaining the proceeds from a ex dealer administration/liquidation sale (i recall that sillica shop went belly up 2 or 3 times)

It could just be a collector. I could match that photo with one of my Atari 8-bit stuff but I won't .

That's why I left this subject alone myself!! LOL

[jens]

I'm quite certain he is going to set up an Atari ST cluster with all those machines!
