Whisper #3 Posted June 9, 2004 Probably stood in that box on the portch for a year before the owner decided to part with it and put it in ebay. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
itsralph #4 Posted June 9, 2004 I once bought a working monitor that looked like that at a yard sale for $1, and when I got it home and plugged it in hundreds of roaches started crawling out of it. It cost me $10 for 2 cans of roach spray plus three hefty bags to seal it up in before I took it to the dump. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MegaManFan #5 Posted June 9, 2004 You'd have to pay me to haul that thing away, cause there's no way I'd even attempt to touch it or clean it up. Ugh! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trooper #6 Posted June 9, 2004 Well had I been able to I'd buy it in a flash, mainly because it's next to impossible to find an Apple II where I live. /Troop Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A few years ago the school where I worked was going to toss a bunch of them out. I dragged as many home as I thought my wife would let me get away with. Wish I'd taken more monitors, but it's too much trouble to store very many of them. -S Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trooper #8 Posted June 9, 2004 I've had one on my wishlist for years but they're not abundant in Sweden so I guess I'm out of luck. On the other hand I had never seen an Atari 800 other than on pictures until I was given the one I have now /Troop Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mindfield #9 Posted June 10, 2004 Hmm. Pic doesn't load. Think he axed it, figuring it was making people physically ill? :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Breakpack #11 Posted June 10, 2004 Geez,if they didn't feel compelled to clean it before snapping the pic,at least they could have Photoshopped the dirt out.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
atari_wizard #12 Posted June 10, 2004 maybe he didn't want to spend the 10 dollars on roach spray and 2 bucks for bags either. lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mindfield #13 Posted June 10, 2004 YECCH! I see the pic now. I deeply regret it. I mean, damn ... I'd be ashamed to put that up for sale with anything even remotely resembling a serious description. It looks like a relic some construction building unearthed while they were digging the foundation for a new shopping mall -- I half expected to see archaeologists brushing away at the surface...
