+orpheuswaking Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Can't give you a ballpark without a full list of everything. but knowing how much you paid you got a GREAT deal... If I had seen that lot in person I would have likely paid the asking price without trying to haggle down. Out of interest are all the Disks originals or are they copies? (would also be interested in a full a8 cart list) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny, I can't seem to see where he says how much he paid??? Why can I not see this? If I had seen that lot in person I would have likely paid the asking price without trying to haggle down. Now THIS, I would have to see. But it's nice stuff he has there. Never seen the 1050 box like that - must have been one of the last releases of Tramiel era????

AtariLeaf Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Fantastic score. Congrats. That was a great deal, no doubt about it. I can't say what its worth but it's definitely a lot more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectorGamer Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 Did the dog come with the lot? No, the bitch named Cricket showed up last September. She's my shadow - I figured leave her in the picture to add some pizazz... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carmel_andrews Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 RMaerz...If your 1050 comes with DOS3, either bin it (the DOS that is) or format the disk, best use either DOS 2.5 (not so buggy) or mydos (any version v4 or higher) And Atari doesn't or didn't make crap computers (can't speak for other manuf'rs though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashjazzcat Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 (edited) Maybe if you looked at the pictures you would see there is a DOS 2.5 disk More to the point, there's no DOS 3 disk, and TWO DOS 2.5 disks.

skosh Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 And to think that I just paid $60 for a 1040STf and SC1224 monitor. Just let me know when you'd like to swap that for the power of 16 bits. Joking of course and a very nice find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectorGamer Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 Well, I finally started testing this stuff. I went through all the 8-bit carts and they work. All the dupes will be up on my sale thread within the next couple of days. I had some dude interested in some of the 2600 carts. But, if he doesn't get back to me by the end of the week, some of those will go to Albert and the rest on my sale thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jr. Pac Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 GREAT haul. I'm interested in buying that early Text Combat cart. The one with the CX # under the Atari logo and the words GAME PROGRAm are bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathanallan Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I just noticed that all those floyy disks are the Elephant kind, neat! I have a few magazines with their ads in them. Classic! One ad has their disk holders displaying 2600 and 5200 carts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
