Bikerbob Posted April 11, 2019 Author Share Posted April 11, 2019 Yeah.. saw that one.. I might go as high as half that.. but no higher. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6BQ5 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Be patient. One is sure to pop up eventually. Starting bid = $1.00. Or, you'll see the BIN of $500! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bikerbob Posted April 16, 2019 Author Share Posted April 16, 2019 WOW>. 999 pounds $1750 for me here in Canada.. crazy too expensive for me James 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tillek Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Thing is, if I recall right... you said you wanted to pay about half that. Thing is, I don't think that's likely, unless the thing is broken. Frankly, if I saw someone actually selling one that low, I'd be suspicious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikerbob Posted April 16, 2019 Author Share Posted April 16, 2019 Thats cool.. if there are people out there that think owning a TT030 for $1000 uk pounds is worth it to them.. all the power to em.. I have no interest in collecting.. I am interested in using. I just bought a GS70QE2 laptop for $250cdn .. with a dead cmos, no hdd, smacked up keyboard and palm rest and no battery. These normally sell for $600 US.. I have it all back together with a 1gb HDD new palmrest w/ keyboard (from ebay) new battery and cmos battery for about $450 all in. I'm good with it.. its not perfect but better than $750 in my books. That is my daily computer at home.. replacing my old I5 laptop. IF I can get MegaSTEs for $250.. I dont think a TT should be going for $2000.. but of course it is whatever the market will bear. James 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorclu Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I wrote an entry about the TT030 a whil back. You might get a kick out of it. https://atariage.com/forums/blog/653/entry-14263-my-experiences-with-the-atari-tt030-computer/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+slx Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Feeling bad about mine sitting in the basement since 1996. Kept it back then as it was worth next to nothing and I had some data on it that I couldn't copy onto the PC (such as my old FidoNet messagebase). Wonder whether I should take the data off and sell it no or keep it to finance my retirement Even Atari-8-bit-aware kids say "uninteresting, as it has a desktop/mouse just like a Win/Mac computer".

What BBS software/Fido software was it running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+slx Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 What BBS software/Fido software was it running? I started with BinkleyTerm but for the last year or so moved to something else which was a lot more comfortable but the name of which I don't remember. Really need to fire this up to check what was on it. I got my original setup from friends who had started Fido before me. I never was a node, just a point mailing with mainly two friends and reading and writing on some lists. If I had saved only half the money I spent on phone fees back then.... Before I switched to PCs I had a 2GB drive in the TT which I decided to keep for the PC (first PC done with SCSI), so I copied everything that didn't fit on the next smaller harddisc on Syquest 88MB media. So my "original" setup is gone. (although I might have kept the 2GB drive when I gave away the PC). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyprian Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Wonder whether I should take the data off and sell it no or keep it to finance my retirement I would suggest you to keep it. prices still rising Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
