Grig Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Hmmm.... Signed Ballyhoo sells for $63.78 on Apr 10: eBay Auction -- Item Number: 150791690664 The buyer has attempted to flip it 3 times: eBay Auction -- Item Number: 261002891144 eBay Auction -- Item Number: 261005395404 eBay Auction -- Item Number: 261006035343 This might go nice with that new 1200XL. Look at the game's subtitle on the box: "A sucker is born every minute". I guess the seller was testing that theory. Wow, seriously? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariGeezer Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Someone got a great deal on an ATR-8000, but wasn't me... eBay Auction -- Item Number: 170827326234 Only if it was in working condition, this sale was untested/as is. I do agree that for the price it was worth a gamble, but if it's not working/repairable it's an expensive paperweight. Yep, looks like the seller has a bunch of misc stuff (no other atari stuff), but they did sell two floppy drives that went along with the ATR-8000... For $40 w/free shipping, I think it was a good gamble. wouldn't take much to get it working agaiin even if it came DOA Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobus Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I'm playing catch-up with my eBay purchases, but here are the most recent few... Finally found the Chuck Benton version (on right) of Frogger (thanks to FastRobPlus for unravelling the history of this/these title(s)). Slightly squashed Telelink I complete with creepy looking chick Invitation to Programming 2 - (looking for one and three!) and last but not least, Capt Beeble cart.

Reminds me of the movie War Games. All I need to do is find a voice syth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnBuell Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 The 822 and 835 are the two final things I need for a complete 400/800 era set of toys (I'm not going to bother with the 815, too few of them, and more than I'm willing to pay). I've gotten my hands on a few carts, a couple Thorn/EMI's and a copy of Caverns of Mars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiroProX Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) Let's see....... Falcon030 4mb with a 2gb CF 800XL NTSC and 1050 (Bought it mainly for the 1050, but the 800XL will get the wife to stop hogging my 1200XL dev setup to play Joust) 130XE NTSC NIB 1050 (Got to have nother for the dev setup) And there's some more stuff I'm eyeing. But certainly not that one overpriced twit"s stuff. Edited April 28, 2012 by HiroProX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIO99 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 (edited) NEWSFLASH! I've just managed to buy on eBay UK an Atari 65XE, complete with XC12 tape drive, and three games for the bargain price of £22.01 (US$37.71)! This is such a bargain, because I've recently seen XC12 tape drives offered for £24 (US$38.94) alone!! I hope to receive this in the next 1-2 days from a company using a quick courier, not an individual seller. Unfortunately, It's quite likely I can't be in when they try to deliver, so I need to have a word with my neighbours, who have faced some common problems with me, although a lot of neighbours have been moving in and out recently.

Berger Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 My 600xl has arrived and is sitting at home, while I'm at work. Hopefully it'll help me trouble shoot my broken one I have gotten before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIO99 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) I've bought an Atari 65XE with PSU and TV lead, an XC12, two controllers, and 3 cartridges (Miner 2049er, Computer Chess, Boulders & Bombs) all for £22.01. I haven't got it yet, though. It turned out I couldn't be at home when it was due to be delivered, but a neighbour agreed to take the package in. Unfortunately, I haven't seen or heard from her since coming home. I hope she hasn't decided to give up her flat so she can run off with my Atari 65XE! I'll let you know. (Sorry, I forget I'd already posted a similar message. I can't see how to delete it). Edited May 2, 2012 by SIO99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
