hhwolfman Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 (edited) I know everyone has bad stories, but there are still good deals out there, on ebay. Ok, I emailed a Lady about an item in her auction. There were still no bids and asked if she would sell it alone, in a buy it now and re list the rest with out it. She said no thank you, she didn't feel like taken more pictures and re listing. She was very nice and I made a nice reply back Thanking her for her time, and if the whole lot didn't sell, My offer was standing. I even thought about sniping it at the end, it was a pretty good deal. I forgot about it. Any who, it didn't sell. I couldn't believe it. I emailed her back and ask if she would sell the items. She said Why don't ya just give me $80 Shipped for everything. I said Ok. This is what I got for $80 Shipped. Ok here is the first Item I got. A Cherry Vader, both sets of Paddles, Three Joysticks, Ac Adapter, and a Track Ball. I would say about a $35 Value. Next is about thirty one loose games with Manuals. Nothing really big , but nice condition. Around a $25 Value Ten Nice Music Mates = $15 Ooops forgot to put the Sears Superman Text label, in the other picture. Also Manual 8 Cib Games, about $60 So we have around $135. Not a bad deal, But wait there is more. She threw in another 37 manuals. Said I could throw them away, if I did not want them. Another $20 Ok about $155 now. A great deal. Now, for what I really wanted, out of the Deal. I have seen these in Members collections but, never owned them. I have never had a chance at them, tell now. A Atari Game book (Manual) Folder What is better than a Atari Game book Folder.? Two of em. I really don't know the Value of these but, I really love em. So there are still good deals out there, you just have to search for em. HHW Edited March 27, 2009 by hhwolfman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iwan-iwanowitsch-goratschin Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Wow, the Game Book Folder is sweet!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirage Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Wow! And you got some more expensive game boxes, too! Yeah, you got a great deal. LOVE those Game Books folders. I would love to have a bunch of those (think I'd need more than 2 though). And here's the vindication for the guy earlier this week that caught flak for listing his Atari manuals as "books".

Thanks, and the first thing, that came to my mind, was that thread. Edited March 27, 2009 by hhwolfman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zwackery Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 How do the instruction manuals / books fit into the binder? (What is the mechanism that holds them in there?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirage Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 How do the instruction manuals / books fit into the binder? (What is the mechanism that holds them in there?) You slip each manual through one of the wires, so the wire will be splitting the center of the manual -- no holes required. It looks like each book would hold... ugh, I just counted, and now can't remember the number of wires... I think it was between 18 & 20 manuals. Most of us would need a whole pile of these things to hold all our manuals. If I had just one or two, I'd probably use them for special items like the comics.

Trade-N-Games Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Nice buy! I found a few of the instruction holders at a yard sale one year and the wires had rusted and stuck to the manuals! There was no water damage on the manuals so i would guess it just happened over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zwackery Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Ah, little wires. How simple and low-tech. I'd like to get more stuff that was sold in the Atari Clubhouse Store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
