Brad Block Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I am cleaning out my inlaws house and have come across over 10 boxes of Atari computer items. I know there is an 800XL in its original box, used im sure, modems, drives, programs, instructions, dust cover etc. My question is where can I go to have someone give me an idea of what its worth? I am in the suburbs of Chicago. I am look to get rid of it all. Any help would be appreciated. I figured I would go to a place that has nothing buy Atari people. Thanks, Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Payne Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 (edited) If you give use a detailed list of items and their condition, like if it actually works, we'd all be able to chime in. If you just want to get rid of it without testing it, the price will be much lower unless someone is wiling to take the risk. 10 boxes sounds like a lot of stuff.

Kyle22 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 is it a .JPG or .PNG? Those are the only formats you should use here when attaching pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+MrFish Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 (edited) Here are a few pics [XF551] If it works, it's worth $200 easily -- if sold alone -- no questions asked. Edited April 2, 2016 by MrFish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Block Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share Posted April 2, 2016 All of it or just which piece? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Block Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share Posted April 2, 2016 800XL with box. So one with and one without. Is there any money in the programs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Very nice lot. That Rana drive with a window is unusual. Wonder why someone would do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Block Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share Posted April 2, 2016 I have 3 130XE one in a box. I am wanting to get rid all of this at one time, to one person if possible. So anyone who knows of how to get rid of this besides ebay, I would appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 The software might be worth something if it is original boxed stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Block Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share Posted April 2, 2016 Very nice lot. That Rana drive with a window is unusual. Wonder why someone would do that. I was told it would overheat. So my father in law cut a hole and put a piece of glass on top so he could remove it when being used. Sounds like something he would do.

+MrFish Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 All of it or just which piece? I mean the boxed drive, if sold as an item by itself. When you sell stuff as a lot, the price per item automatically starts dropping. As in, quantity discount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defender II Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 What software do you have? I'm mostly interested in cartridges, but could make the drive to Chicago for the whole lot if I can afford it. Just send me a PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikerbob Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Well I am sure you could sell this off for good money piece meal, or I am sure someone will. I would love to get a socketed 800xl so I could do all these spiffy mods that are available All of this stuff looks very clean.

Brad Block Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share Posted April 2, 2016 What is an 800 XL socketed and do I have one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Block Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share Posted April 2, 2016 This is all the hardware I have. I also found a dito drive if that worth anything. Thanks for everyone who has PM'd me. I do think I will let it go as a bundle and not make as much. I just want it to go to someone who would appreciate it and not grab it to resell it.

Brad Block Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share Posted April 2, 2016 Ok, this is what I found for software. Almost everything has the box, disk or cartridge, and manual. Most boxes are not great, but they are there. Not faded, but just smooshed.
