DracIsBack Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I was HUGE fan of the show, but Lynda Carter was the least Amazonian Amazon ever. Naw, I'm pretty sure in the continuum between - say - Amazonian - and Rosanne Barr, Lynda is closer to Amazonian than Barr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have no problem buying someone's, however I feel that it would be a pain in the ass trying to get Curt to honor it, not that he wouldn't want to, but it has been so long I am not even sure he knows who he owes them to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toiletunes Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Both parties send email to Curt, and announce every step of the transaction here so there are witnesses. Worst case scenario: Curt ships to party A, who ships to party B. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well hopefully they kept the same email address. All i know is waiting 5 years going on 6, for someone to develop something and you already made a reservation payment for...people are either really patient and to be commended for such a level of commitment or in denial that they have been had. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalemFrost7800 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 ATTENTION: Atariage user galax has purchased my 7800 XM reservation, when this becomes available and I receive it from Curt I will than ship it to galax. galax has my email address so we can keep in contact while we wait for the 7800 XM to be released. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lendorien Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 I moved about 3 years ago. I shot Curt a PM and an e-mail and he acknowledged that he'd updated my info. I'd suggest that's how one should handle it. I do still have my e-mail receipt for my purchase. I'd hang on to that if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenixdownita Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 What's the procedure to follow in case someone in line would come to pass? I understand to be an off putting topic, and I apologize in advance about mixing money with life/death .... just asking out of curiosity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has actually happened with one member here that I know of . If I am not mistaken he pre ordered an sgm from the second run and xm and ofcourse never was able to see either one before his untimely death .

Andromeda Stardust Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Geeze, guys, can we change the subject? Show some respect. A person's life is infinitely more important than recieving or not recieving a game device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipj Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 That's usually how it is... A lot of underground developers just don't have the time to do home-brews and hobby products they way they like. Those who do put in work and actually have real prototypes do deserve some respect because it really is a sacrifice on time, energy, money, resources and what have you. Usually work and family comes first, then the pet project takes priority. If you can actually release something and it's good, then that's a milestone over the hurdle of real life where as there's more to life then developing for great retro goodies like the Atari 7800 via XM. Then when it's released and everyone has gotten there's, you'll be sorry you missed out on it. But time is of the essence and that's very important too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then when it's released and everyone has gotten there's, you'll be sorry you missed out on it. .... Naahhh, someone would be underwhelmed and sell it, that's a fact, it happens all the time for any project, so they will be available for a little while. Some would be on eBay just for the mark up (and 5Y worth of interests, the S&P500 gained 60% in the same timeframe) I'm not dissing the XM per se, just the school of thought that prompted the "you'll be sorry you missed out" which I think makes the whole situation even more surreal. Let's tep work his magic and see where it lands, but obviously another 5Y of wait is a deal killer (not saying it's gonna happen but there's a point one need to throw in the towel no matter the reasons behind it). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipj Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Just trying to keep the spirits up... I guess it will run it's course after 5 years or so. Time truly is of the essence especially if you've paid the money already for it. Reminds me of when as a teen I was paid in advance to cut a guys yard and I waited too long until the guy finally confronted about it. Of course I got the job done, but the dude never hired me again. A lesson well learned early on in life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is the same person who bought one of my Donkey Kong XM carts. The package was returned with a note that he was deceased. It was very sobering.

Jinks Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I want to say Happy Easter to everyone here and please enjoy the day with your families. My little girl just gave me some of her Easter eggs and said"Here ya go Dad cause parents don't get candies today." To the new XM team we all believe you can get it finished. Everyone that knows anything about you guys has full confidence. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austin Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 If anyone in the USA wants to take my pre-order spot, it's up for grabs. $100 gifted PayPal payment (basically what I paid for the unit after shipping initially). I don't have crazy doubts about the project, I'm just not that into the 7800 right now and figured I could use the money more. We'll make it public after like SalemFrost did in this post: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/227889-7800-xm-update/page-38?do=findComment&comment=3476643. Send me a PM if interested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austin Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 All right, this is a public announcement that I have officially transferred my 7800 XM pre-order to new AA user NostAlgae37. He has sent me the original money I paid for the unit after shipping. If and when this thing ships, hopefully I will be able to have the mailing address changed to the new holder of this order, or worst-case if it comes to me, I will forward it to NostAlgae37. My original order number is 2009959, placed Oct 9 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NostAlgae37 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Thanks for selling me your reservation slot, Austin. Does anyone here know if there is someone associated with the project that I should contact and give my mailing address to so that when (if?) the product ships, it will come directly to me now instead of being sent to Austin first? Maybe Perry (tep392) can comment? Thanks again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
