liquid_sky Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 cars break down.. need work.. eventually youll tire of it and get another and have to do this yet again. look for good dealership financing, dont sell atari offf for a simple car.

Rhindle The Red Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 I have to agree. If you must have a car now, you should find a less expensive one. If this is the lengths you have to go through to raise $3100, you won't be able to maintain the car. Find something in the under $1000 range. That way you're not in for too much when it breaks. (And it will.) Tighten the belt, get a part time job, and save, save, save. Sell this stuff off now, and you'll be kicking youself for years to come.

Rhindle The Red Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 I say that if all you need is the initial money, all the more reason to save up to buy it. That way you decide when you've got enough and what pricepoint to aim for. Otherwise you're at the whim of whatever you get for the stuff. But, if you're determined, e-mail me a list of any brazilians and/or other bootlegs you have. (Including the "Microsoft".) That's the only stuff I'm willing to pay collector prices for.

Fretwobbler Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 A bit off topic but... Post by Atati 70's - quoteMCDONALDS ISNT EVEN HIRING. not like i would do that for 5.75 Thats a disgrace. I presume thats US min wage. THey pay better in England. £5.50/$7.70. Now McDonalds is a company that deserves a beating. Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemmi Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 well if you want to keep your collection this sounds like the best way to go, you get the money and then possibly in the future you could pay him back and get your atari collection back now thats a cool guy Liquids pawn shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemmi Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 you could always sell the stuff you really will never play or want anymore and keep the rare stuff and the stuff you like, take that money you get put it in a bank and start saving up for a new car its all about what you really want to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liquid_sky Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 i sold all my atari a few years back.. i didnt have alot only 200 games or so. since thenall the fleas have driend up, ive seen ebay prices inflat like crazy, and ive seen the demand go up as the supply shirnks. i want to make clear that you shouldnt sell, but if you choose to need money i sold my baby (got burned out on guitar so i sold my strat, 4 or 5 effect pedals, and a few pearl drums that i never had a stand for anyway. #200 is a rough amount, it might not be that high.. but im tellin you if you sell all of your atari you are going to regret it. selling some atari is fine and i understands that, but giving up on atari just for a car is something that you will regret for a long time.
