joeventura Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Here is my latest acquisition: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...%3D1&_rdc=1 Unfortunately good old USPS beat up the box in transit pretty bad. The Atari 800 case was cracked and the door hinge completely busted. Luckily I purchased the insurance. Now waiting on USPS to buy me a new Atari 800 (wishful thinking)! Sorry you paid insurance USPS is not going to pay you much of anything. Thats what sucks about them. The conversation will go like this: It's a computer? Yes What kind? Atari? Atari? Like a PC No a vintage computer from 1983. Oh. What did it cost in 1983? $600 Ok so its 26 years old and was $600 when new. but..... We will have your check for 48 cents in the mail in 7 to 10 days.

MEtalGuy66 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 A fantastic haul! The 130XE had some non-working keys (as described). I've fixed those, and the only major discoloration was on a few keys on the left hand side. Not bad for 14GBP and has cleaned up almost as good as new. I gave $9.00 for this about two months ago: All it needed was Bob's Keyboard Tune-Up, and Clearpic 2002 Video Fix.. I think I'll leave this one stock...

Whats wrong with the XL? I'm very excited about the GP2X, I'll be able to use it when travelling around. I can then get my "Atari Fix" (I crave for the Atari when I'm away from it). The 800XL has a few crushed console keys and a missing '2' key. I'm not too sure of what is wrong inside, but I'll find out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rybags Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 XEGS with one game + PSU and crap joystick for $60 including postage. The market seems to have headed up again... I might have to sell some joysticks and stuff to help fund all this. Just opened/inspected, and power-on tested the machine. A couple of strange things: - two of the custom ICs are socketed, but it doesn't look like it was done as a mod. - the picture quality seems to be great through RF, much better saturation than my 130XE, it seems near par with a 400.
