OSS MAC/65 and Action carts

[Shephda]

Hello all,

I received today the above mentioned carts for the Atari.

I know they are programming utility carts, but would like to get an idea of their value.

 

Thanks for the help.

Sounds like you have just the carts. For a collector, you'd need at least the manuals, preferably even the box they came in. I would guess you might

sell them on ebaY. Starting bid, again depending whether you have the manuals, about $10 and see where they might go. They aren't rare and

mostly rare games might bring more than $50. People today, who are interested in writing programs, can use free ROM files and emulators,

there again the manual is key. I'm not well versed in Atari 8-bit cart values, so these are just some opinions. They'd be of interest to a very few beginning

programing people, new cross assemblers and other tools are used by experienced programmers. The manuals are available on the internet in

pdf form even.

You'd have little trouble getting $20 each. But having the original manual and materials would make them more desirable.

 

They're somewhat devalued these days - Mac65 isn't the pinnacle language cart it used to be thanks to modern emulators and PC-side assemblers.

And, there's hacked images around of the OSS carts that allow to run them from a 128K Atarimax cart.

Thanks for the replies.

I knew their value without manuals\boxes is less, I just wanted an idea of what to ask for them. I don't put stuff like this on eBay unless it's worth the hassle. I'm not an Atari 8-bit user (C= man myself) but figured someone will want them and I don't want to look stupid asking $100 for them.

Thanks again guys!

Orange

I retract that!

They are black with yellow labels. Sorry I'm at work and I only run with 16K memory.

I'm interested in that Mac/65 cart. I'm still looking for one. At this moment I'm using Mac/65 and Synassembler, both in a AtariMax Flashcard, but I'd prefer to use the original.

 

If you are interested in selling that Mac/65 cart... please drop me a line (Private)

 

Thanks

For the Black/yellow Mac/65 cart, I'd pay $40-$50...
