OldAtarian Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 (edited) eBay Auction -- Item Number: 140472711227 Seems kinda crazy when it says in the listing that it is not known to be working and being sold as is. Include the shipping and it brings the cost to $82 and change. "Not known to be working" to me means "known to be not working" rather than untested.

svenski Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 eBay Auction -- Item Number: 140472711227 Seems kinda crazy when it says in the listing that it is not known to be working and being sold as is.

Well "not known to be working" is different to "known to be not working" but who knows - what doesn't add up is when you get people selling Atari stuff that was obviously theirs for some time (so they know how to connect it up etc) and sell as untested. If they have the time to snap a photo and write a description for ebay then they have the time to fire their stuff up and test first - just a way of avoiding comebacks or selling something as untested which they know to be faulty. As for the Rana drive, I saw the listing early on and was tempted at first but only as it was boxed as I already have the drive. Funny how a thirty party drive that didn't get much love in the day is now getting a decent price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+wood_jl Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 (edited) When's the last time - and when's the next time - you're going to see a RANA 1000 complete with box? Bit rich for my blood, but I'm not exactly swimming in money like some of you folks!!!! I've seen much more common Indus GTs go for over $100 (plus shipping) when they include the worthless (other than for "completeness") plastic case they originally shipped with. No less crazy.

Ah, but an Indus GT can actually be made into a complete CP/M machine. Didn't know that, did you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almost Rice Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I've seen much more common Indus GTs go for over $100 (plus shipping) when they include the worthless (other than for "completeness") plastic case they originally shipped with. No less crazy. Both of mine were $40 shipped. $100 is crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
