Dripfree Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 (edited) There is an atari 1040 stf with monitor mouse and cables on craigs list in my area the seller wants $150. Is this a fair price, a rippoff, or a deal. It looks kinda sweet and I'd like it in my collection but thats more then I want to spend. Any oppinions?

doctorclu Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I would say not too bad, but I would also move this message to the ST forum and you might get some better answers there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yea good point. I've been an 800 man for a little while now, I spend so much time in here that I forgot there was a ST forum. I assume I just have to start a new thread there, I can't literally move this one right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorclu Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Al or thread admin could probably make it happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Seems kinda high actually. 8-bit guy all this time and are only now delving into ST stuff? Cool! Nice when things are local. And there's a high chance you'll be able to talk him down. If nothing has their original boxes and packing and they're kind of "beat up", I'd offer more like $75-$100 tops. Guy must sorta/kinda know what collectors or Atari people *might* pay. Not that long ago, used to be able to get stuff like this for $50 or less. Just a few years ago. Oh - and make sure the damned disk drive works! And good luck with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oky2000 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Also make sure the picture quality on the monitor is excellent, there is nothing worse than a blurry dull CRT tube. Also value depends on if it is an Atari SC1224 colour monitor or just the ubiquitous SM124 mono thing. Also remember an ST Mouse is worth about £10-15 these days on ebay so if it doesn't have on and you want to do more than auto boot commercial games you need one of those too I'd say.

tjlazer Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Unless it's in great unyellowed clean shape, I would skip unless you are dead set in getting one asap. The good thing is you are saving on shipping so it might be an ok deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
