farago Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 (edited) Time to pass on my Atari collection. Have to move to smaller apartment. (sigh) Make me a decent offer and it's yours. Lot only, no individual items. Some work, but most need love, attention and recapping. These are very old machines. Pickup only Phoenix Thanks Items can be seen here: Edited February 10, 2021 by farago typo 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol...My wife sometimes makes me do a double take, I'll be playing a game she will hear the sound and say "isn't that the game in space, raiders something??" and it is indeed the game she says.. Normally she pays no attention at all... Edited February 11, 2021 by Mclaneinc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, she's just curious about when you're going to start on the list of chores (that you don't know about yet) that she's going to give you after you're done (and therefore can't use the game as an excuse to put them off). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam242 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 My significant other not only supports my Atari hobby but she also actively takes part. We have an XEGS on our coffee table and are currently working our way through ADAM Is Me and Laura together. I'm a lucky man. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilsaluki Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I do admit I have a fondness for old stuff and hang on to stuff way too long. In addition to EVERY piece of Atari stuff I have ever purchased, I have a Wham-o Super Ball collection (go figure), Frisbee collection. I have stamps, coins, post cards, cameras, film, cassettes, 8-tracks, vinyl, & CDs. The list goes on. I still enjoy them all. Someday, it'll all go.

Potemkyn Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) Wondering if I could purchase the 800 Keyboard missing parts from you. I'd pay shipping - and there's no rush at this point. Mine is missing the Escape key - it's just a hole! Or - just the Escape key and all its parts Mike Edited February 16, 2021 by Potemkyn clarification Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKK Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 @farago really pity that you are in USA as shipment to Poland would cost a lot. Otherwise I would buy sth from you with pleasure. Still good luck in sales. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
