ACML Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I used to live less than an hour away from Alpine. I have a brother in RB/Poway, he is an 8-bit fan as well. I'd help if I still lived there. The 2,000 mile commute would be a problem. Remember to wear those skeleton gloves Barry wears on Storage Wars, Black Widows are common in that neck of the woods.

high voltage Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 (edited) *Sigh* Only happens in America Don't you worry, me and you will end up finding an 8-bit treasure trove down a slate mine or something. Atari UK had a huge warehouse in Slough, I've seen it I've been in there....it was loaded with Atari stuff from top to bottom. I've heard that Derek Fern purchased the lot when Atari UK closed its offices, but I never seen him selling all this stuff, only bits advertised in Atari User Page 6. The rest is still out there....somewhere....in a landfill in UK :-) Edited September 2, 2011 by high voltage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faicuai Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 On the road, I have help. Don't worry, im sure there will be tons of - shit! ...I happen to run a successful Psychology consultation//consolation business. I have customers from all walks of life (have learned a lot from them, actually). If the Trove of retro-gear ends up looking "somewhat different' from what you envisioned/expected, feel free to give me a call. Insurance-charges and co-payments all go on the house. If you only end up finding (say) a nice-looking, pristine RAMROD for the "JM"-800, I will waive one-year of consultation fees, in exchange. Be strong, F. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+kheller2 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 (edited) I suspect the "Atari" in the craigslist was thrown in since that was printed on some of the Commodore flippies. HAH. If you are a Commodore lover, then you probably would be dying right now to know... but I do wonder about the lost pile of 1064s. the 1029s.. the oh heck I want an update!!
