Atari8bitCarts Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I finally picked up Hobgoblin, thanx for helping out peoples. It's a sealed (was, I had to touch all the goodies and get out the cart to play) Extended Edition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam242 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Picked up this lot for only $66 shipped: Amazed I didn't get sniped at the last second... Is this still a decent deal? I thought Powerstar alone would've commanded more than that price... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari-Collector Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Nice 1050 box pic. I have bought 2 1050's recently, each having a different style box. Unfortunately, I can't hook anything up yet.. I bought 4 SIO cables from B&C Computer and he didn't mail them from a few weeks. Tracking shows they are in a sorting facility in Los Angeles still.. If he wasn't going to ship for so long he should have gave me the option to cancel the order, especially when I paid extra for priority shipping.. So I'm a bit tick off about that.. It's unlikely I'd buy from him again and just still to gerneral ebay hunting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you desperately need an SIO cable I can send you a new one at B&C price (that's where I get mine too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari-Collector Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) Give him a bit of a slack, he told me that he just got divorced and he's running the biz alone now. If you desperately need an SIO cable I can send you a new one at B&C price (that's where I get mine too) I know, but I think 3 weeks is quite a bit of slack already given. As of right now, tracking shows them at the sorting plant in LA. I paid on Nov 13. They will get hear some day. I see he has a lot of cables listed on eBay right now, if he's shipping them as slow as he did mine his feedback score is going to take a hit. I may go see if I can find some more on ebay too.. What puzzles me, is all the drives and stuff I've bought used from various people never came with SIO cables. So makes me wonder what the previous owners did with them....

If you desperately need an SIO cable I can send you a new one at B&C price (that's where I get mine too) I thought he got divorced a year or two ago. At least that was what I was told. Not that it matters when running a business though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atari8warez Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I know, but I think 3 weeks is quite a bit of slack already given.... Yeah, I agree. Surprising as I recently ordered some plugs from him - shipped with regular mail, not priority - and they arrived in about 10 days after the order, who knows!

+Stephen Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Not ebay, but picked up a brand new Lotharek VBXE2 from a user here. It's going in a PAL 130XE with U1MB, stereo, and covox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprisingly this si not encouraging me to ever buy from him again... If this had been an eBay purchase I'd be open a depute on the purchase with Paypal. If our going to keep somebody's money, you send their purchase, that simple. It's not that hard to put 4 cables and a box and mail it.

peteym5 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I purchased an EPYX 500XJ joystick. These are great for playing those old games and for testing new stuff I am working on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLeaf Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I picked up an Atari C-380 Pinball/Breakaway unit which needs some TLC for the price of some store credit I had on hand. I knew going in it wasn't working properly so it's fine. Needs a bit of solder on the power switch so hopefully that's all there is to it. AND since I always wanted one of these I bought a cheap Telegames version of the same unit for $20 plus shipping and it just arrived yesterday and works great.

Atari-Collector Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Not an ebay purchase, but just got here. Was hard to bring myself to open it being still sealed... Haven't tried it or the other cables yet, been dealing with a major dental emergency this week. friday will be my 3rd trip to the dentist this week...

gilsaluki Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 I guess Bruce (B&C) tells EVERYONE about his divorce from Cathy. I was on the line with him for over an hour.

Darth Link Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 I just found a complete in box copy of Star Raiders with keypad controller, the controller's box is open but the game box itself is still sealed with the comic book, that thing is awesome, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
