Really great pick up there. And I spy a box full of floppies too. Anything of note in there?

 

I almost never see anything on CL Atari related worth getting, and that is even looking at CLs within a 300-500 mile radius of me. As I look again on the local CL I see the same poster, again, trying to sell 8 2600 commons for $20.

 

 

 

Would you be willing to share how much this all cost.

[Scooter83]

Its a challenge to say the least. Posting Item Waned posts. Getting a slew of people with atari 2600 items when your add says no atari 2600 5200 or 7800 please. but i write that off as most dont know what they have.

 

For as with the 5.25s Alot of Antic magazine disks, Analog disks, Atari Disk operating system disk, ACE LIbary disks, a bunch from a company called softsmith. One that is typed Atari Elpaso Texas ( I think its a freeware company ( says public domain disk 1 ) but looks interesting). And a ton of blanks that someone copied files on. I dont think im gonna have the next big find in the floppies. lol.

 

Im still waiting on 2 small boxes of Antic / Analog magazines and computer atari 8 bit books ( that have line by line programs) that are on the way. Everything came out to just shy of $200 plus shipping. The extra 800XL will go up forsale soon since I dont need it along with some of the carts ( I got someone interested in a few) But yeah a nice little find and should be hours and hours of fun. On the back of the 800XLs one has a hong kong label in black compared to the other one which is a normal looking atari white label. I dont know if theres a reason for the difference or if it holds any special interest outside of a different plant it was made from ( maybe).

Most HONG KONG made Atari's are fully socketed for easy repair and or upgrades..

strange is that I would not find that link Craigslist in MN. Is that allow to post the original link here ?

[Scooter83]

Original link has been deleted from February.

[Caterpiggle]

Oh ... Feb, 2013, right ?

[Caterpiggle]

I forget to ask, what town in MN ?

[Scooter83]

Around that time frame. My emails go back to the 10th of feb. I wish not to disclose the town.

 

[Scooter83]

BTW, it would be interesting to know what Softsmith titles you got as a number of them are "missing in action". Also, please consider checking what the ACE disks are.

 

Thanks in advance if you can do that.
