T.A.P. Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 (edited) I feel silly asking this, but after various experiences with Best Electronics and its owner's quirks, I just wanted to check if My Atari was similar. They've got a few items I'd love to purchase from them, and I just wanted to check to see if there are any do's or don'ts when reaching out to communicate with them. Is it better to call them? E-mail them? Are they open on the weekends? Edited September 25, 2021 by T.A.P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newtmonkey Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 I've ordered from them several times (e-mail), and have never had a problem. No rules or quirks, in my experience at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a bummer, since he has a few things on sale right now, and I don't want to miss out on anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newtmonkey Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 @T.A.P. Usually he would get back to me in a day or two. I know he has health issues due to recovering from an accident, so maybe give it a couple more days and see if a reply shows up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ended up hearing back from him this afternoon and got everything sorted out. He's definitely a classy guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+neogeo1982 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 His ebay store is also very good. You just need to ask for invoicing for combined shipping so you don't pay on every single thing item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dopy25 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Pretty sure I'm going in waiting about a month or 2 for a response. I'm about to get on the hating bandwagon but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Luckily for me, I already found what I needed from somewhere else. Hoping he responds to the next message I send ??♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilsaluki Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 I have know and done biz with Bruce for three decades. I wish he still had his website up and running. Stuff on Ebay is priced high and shipping is high. I know that if I really need something, the best thing to do is just call him. He is getting older, can talk a bit too much, but is a great guy. Much easier to deal with than the other California guy. And he doesn't use all that Atari labeled tape that the other guy uses. I hate that tape. The wife know exactly what I have done when she sees that stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dopy25 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Oops. I thought this thread was about Best. I'll have to check on this other guy. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.A.P. Posted November 10, 2021 Author Share Posted November 10, 2021 Has anyone heard from him recently? Is he doing ok? I haven't heard back from him in nearly a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.A.P. Posted November 11, 2021 Author Share Posted November 11, 2021 Update: He's fine, there was just some miscommunication. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
