Marius Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Hi folks, Today I decided I really need some more space for my atari 8bit collection. And so... I'm going to sell my atari Falcon / Atari ST collection. I want to sell them international, because the Atari ST/Falcon market in The Netherlands is as good as nothing. But... now I'm wondering. My Falcon030's are PAL and are powered by 220V. I guess it is easy for someone to replace that powersupply, but it is not so easy to make this thing NTSC. I guess... So is it still interesting to sell them international? I don't want to sell something to someone who would not be able to get around with it. Thanks Marius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the UK and would love to get hold of one at some point in my life! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christos Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Falcon, as all ST's is neither PAL or NTSC and it is both at the same time. NTSC is just a setting in the NVRAM. But seriously, who wants to use a falcon on RGB/TV anyway? VGA all the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anzac Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 not that i would not mind getting my hands on a *cheap* (for me) Falcon030, but i don´t know where you get the idea that Falcon market is dead... each that i see on sale on Ebay sells for very DECENT numbers...

danwinslow Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Well, the implication is : Sell it on EBAY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimo Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 sell it on ebay, the last one on egay UK went for over £300 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...tem=27032548146 not really followed the prices, but that sounds like a good price to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anzac Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I wrote: the Falcon market in The Netherlands sorry for my mistake, but since in your post you were talking about NTSC conversions, etc, i got the impression that you were looking exclusively to the north american market. Shipping rates in Europe are pretty decent, is a 26 country market, same voltage all the way and best of all... No customs... i would still think your best sale would be inside EEC... for me it´s a "pity" that Falcons sell for 300GBP or more... wayyyy out of my reach (pocket).... i would love to get one one day, though...

Thorsten Günther Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Today I decided I really need some more space for my atari 8bit collection. And so...

So is it still interesting to sell them international? I don't want to sell something to someone who would not be able to get around with it. As nearly all European countries have 230V AC mains and most also have PAL (mostly the B/G variant,, in the UK it's PAL I, but this only means you get no sound when you connect it to a TV using the RF connector), yes, a Falcon is interesting for international customers. Plus the TOS inside the Falcon is multilingual, so the hardest work for international customers will be replacing the keyboard with one from an STf/fm/e of his own country. Ah, and btw, a Falcon with a 110V PSU will also work on any RGB or VGA monitor (a great one is the old NEC MultiSync 3D, this one will display SM124, VGA and RGB modes - you'll have to solder your own connector/switch box though) in the United States, but through RF it will only give a b/w picture without sound that even might roll on some TV sets.
