FastRobPlus Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 some ones are not easy to find in good condition i'm looking for in the 400/800 line Microsoft's Basic Home Filing Manager Touch Typing Actually that's true. Those big Atari 400/800 boxes that I love so much don't seem to stand up particularly well. Most of mine look like they've been sat on more than once. Tempest While I agree with you both, I think the original point is still valid. Between Best and B&C, you can probably find all of these things boxed. That's quite a different story than with games, where you have more collectors active and B&C and Best have been picked clean of all but the most common stuff.

spookt Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 (edited) Here's another - MS Basic in shrink wrap. Starting price $99 - looks a little beaten up too. No one seems tempted yet Edited February 6, 2009 by spookt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spookt Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 For anyone tempted to splash $99 on MS Baisc, Best are listing it for $14.95. Hmm, eBay or Best ... let me think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almost Rice Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I noticed the same thing here on this 400 There is nothing there that would lead me to believe the 400 was worth over $200. Unless the brown cardboard box was some rare atari service version. It definitely looks like 2 guys on a buying binge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the brown cardboard box was some rare atari service version. It definitely looks like 2 guys on a buying binge. The buyer of that 400 also spent $120 on a lot of 12 very common A8 carts recently, so I suspect that you're right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirage Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 (edited) Well, the same seller also has an AOL floppy disk listed for $13 BIN! A few years ago, I threw thousands of dollars worth of these into the trash! Edited February 8, 2009 by Mirage1972 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phaxda Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 After reading this thread, I put my 8-bit extras up for bid immediately on eBay! Maybe someone will drop $120 on my lot of 12 carts... I can always dream! It does seem like 8-bit stuff is hot these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spookt Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Yes I'm listing my 10 ultra rare Star Raiders carts (get one in every lot I win !!!) BIN for $100 each - I may throw in free shipping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 People pay a lot more for Atari stuff with original boxes.... but that one didn't even look like the original... The original Atari 8-bit stuff simply came in brown boxes with little labels on them. Odd that they chose to cover up where the 400 label would have been though...
