I've been looking at old Atariage threads and damn they are funny. People chatting about $1 C64c bundles, $50 Apple //e bundle with RGB monitor, and the for sale subforum is very interesting: boxed Jaguar for $35, Atari 800 bundle for $10 shipped. God stuff sold for nothing back then!

And then there are people who dont seem to have any etiquette at all, demanding for cheap c64 parts, and then there are people using the good old formal and polite tone all the time.

I also recognized a few usernames I still see from time to time; in threads nearly 20 years old.

Also, what used to fill the "Modern Gaming" section back in the day now belongs in Classic Gaming General.

Musta been fun back then.

  Well, as late as 2008 I had serious trouble selling an almost new in box C64C for $30 locally. A loose one usually was $10. I bought two loose, untested Mega Drives, one for $5 and one for $0.10. Both worked fine once I obtained power supplies.
  
  A friend of mine had a boxed Atari 1040STM (no floppy drive) he didn't know what to do with so I bought it for $4 around 2011-12.
