+orpheuswaking Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Ok, I have my Atari 800xl set back up and I have my PC nearby... I'm thinking of buying the SIO2PC from AtariMax. However my dilemma is that I have a ton of software already and there isn't really anything else I foresee wanting to buy to play. Therefore my justification for buying the SIO2PC is selling off the software. However looking at Ebay I don't really see a market any longer for Atari Carts or Disks, everything is either ultra rare (which I don't have) or selling for about 99c or so (and I may as well just keep it at that rate)... So anyone have any ideas??? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Keep the originals and find a way to scrape up the $$ for the SIO2PC cable. I dont want to dump my originals either and the SIO2PC makes it easy to get a game on quickly Put the originals behind a Trophy case as something to show off and play the SIO I say!

That may be the plan. But I may get rid of some of my common stuff just to free up space, I mean I can play pacman multiple ways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pengwin Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 The other advantage of using Sio2PC is that you preserve your original disks. I try to avoid using my originals once I have made an ATR from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 You can build your own SIO2PC for about 5 bucks. Software sold as individual items is kinda pointless. But, bundles of half a dozen or more would probably be more successful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I was thinking, For example I have about 5 or 6 of the EA gatefold packaged games (archon etc), was thinking of putting them up as a single lot... I just found out I have TWO copies of M.U.L.E. though, might do that one separate Then maybe just bundle the others together... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just found out I have TWO copies of M.U.L.E. though, might do that one separate No EA boxed title sells for 99c. Some are rather common (as Archon) and they shouldn't sell for much higher. But it is one of the favorite publishers, and they always sell with a high premium above its rarity. MULE is probably the all time favorite game. Again, not rare, but everybody wants it. I'd recommend selling each EA boxed game separately. Certainly do so with MULE. Edited February 14, 2007 by ijor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some of the EA games for the commodore too, think I may put them all up separately on Ebay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
