STeSearcher Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 This one's from seller with no feedback. He's offering to end the auction early based on bids today. Sounds kinda fishy to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory DG Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 How about a link? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STeSearcher Posted April 2, 2007 Author Share Posted April 2, 2007 Ebay for Falcon030 Most of the forums I visit don't allow links to Ebay so I'm not in the habit of posting them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 (edited) Wouldn't be this one? http://cgi.ebay.com/Atari-Falcon-030-Compu...1QQcmdZViewItem From the seller's conditions: IF ABOVE IS NOT MET, 20 BUSINESS DAYS HANDLING TIME (FOLLOWING CLEARED PAYMENT) APPLIES. 20 days - what horseshit! I normally get angry if something takes >5 business days from when I've paid for it. Edited April 2, 2007 by Rybags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STeSearcher Posted April 2, 2007 Author Share Posted April 2, 2007 That's why it smell like something's fishy. I'd almost report it to Ebay but I'll just mind my own business I guess. He could be legit but you never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooper Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I relly like this quote: Two broken/missing keys, however those keys aren't that important ....well.... /T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I relly like this quote: Two broken/missing keys, however those keys aren't that important ....well.... /T The fact that it is missing two keys would make me hesitate a bit. In my experience, keys usually end up going breaking off a keyboard and/or going missing due to the hardware falling on the floor. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Guitarman Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 He also has an auction for a MegaSTE, which has a Mega2 or 4 pictured. I e-mail him about it. We'll see if he changes the auction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I relly like this quote: Two broken/missing keys, however those keys aren't that important ....well.... /T Well it does depend on the keys. I had a C64 with a missing Britsh Pound key (the little funky looking L). I can honestly say it didn't hamper the gameplay one bit.

Bumzyman Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Take it for what it’s worth………. Bumzyman: Can you take a picture of the underside of the unit showing the serial number and attach it to the auction? Isaac-houston-tx: What would be the purpose for that? I would also think that would be a security problem by exposing that info to non-buyers. Do you have a claim of some sort? Have a missing/stolen Falson 030 of your own? Suspect the item I'm listing? Bumzyman: I have been collecting Atari hardware for many years and like a car, knowing the serial number helps to identify which options could be installed, where it was made, what revision of the operating system it came with, etc. There should be no problem or security risk involved with showing the serial number as many other Atari auctions do this and ALL of eBay’s car auctions require it. Take a look at my eBay feedback history and you will see that I am a serious eBay user and Atari collector. Thanks Isaac-houston-tx: I'll check it when I can. It's in storage. If you're interested in bidding (I'm not sure if I misunderstood) I can email it to you. Problem is, I'm ending the auction tonight and I can not get to storage until Tue. Thank you for further explaining you questioning which I understand now. Question is; who here is brave enough to bid on it by 9PM PST tonight to get in on the “special” end it early deal?

STeSearcher Posted April 2, 2007 Author Share Posted April 2, 2007 It's times like this i wish we could put feedback on auctions or have the bidder's email addresses. I'd hate for someone to get taken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooper Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Well it does depend on the keys. I had a C64 with a missing Britsh Pound key (the little funky looking L). I can honestly say it didn't hamper the gameplay one bit. Absolutely if your just buying it to play around with it it doesn't really matter if a couple of not-so-often used keys are broken. But if you, like me, collect at least as much as use it's quite annoying /T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
