IceCold Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 I really want and need a digital camera. All I have is a webcam, so I can not take good pictures of anything, which is bad for eBay auctions. It does not have to be a great camera, just better than my webcam. I would like to trade for it, but could also pay money if it's not too expensive. You can check out www.angelfire.com/games4/icecoldatari and see if there's anything you would want to trade the digital camera for. I'm also looking for a flatbed scanner. It would need to be either USB or parallel port. It would need to work in Windows XP too. It does not need to be a great scanner, but I also do not want a horrible scanner. I would like to trade for it, but could also pay money if it's not too expensive. You can check out www.angelfire.com/games4/icecoldatari and see if there's anything you would want to trade the scanner for. Thank you! If you have either of these, you can send me a PM, or email me at abcfriedyabc@aol.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLeaf Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 Boy, I turn down flatbed scanners at the thrifts all the time, mostly because I'm not sure they work but they appear frequently. I just saw one today for $4.00. Try around your area Icecold, I've seen them mostly in the $5.00 to $10.00 range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemmi Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 the camera i got is a Concord Qeye Duo, and i payed $44 for it at walmart it takes pretty good pics with the right amount of light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but you don't know if they work, and they don't include hookups, power cable, software, etc. But I will check out this one Goodwill near me that usually has a lot of computer stuff there(14 inch monitors, old computers, etc.) I'll pick one up next time I see one, and just hope it works.

That's a great deal! Is that what you took the pictures of your collection with? Those pictures looked pretty good if you ask me. Right now I have my eye on *edit, I don't want anybody to see this and bid on it * but I dont' know how high it will go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemmi Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 yup thats the camera i took those pics with and if you can get that camera for $60 or less thats a good deal cause it comes with a multimedia card (i dont have one of those yet) and the specs are better then mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLeaf Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 A quick search on ebay completed items shows that brand and model of camera selling in the $60 to $100 range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceCold Posted January 29, 2003 Author Share Posted January 29, 2003 And if you want something cheap ... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...9&category=1085 Yeah, I saw that, but I wasn't sure if the pictures would be any better than my webcam... AtariLeaf - thank you for checking that! I was going to, but was too lazy Lemmi - You definitely got a good deal! I hope I can get this camera for pretty cheap, because your pictures looked very good(and this one's supposed to be better) BTW - I edited out the url of the auction, so nobody else sees it and bids on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemmi Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 I would go for CPU's link that camera isnt much different then mine and its cheaper then the one i got here is what i have Concord Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceCold Posted January 29, 2003 Author Share Posted January 29, 2003 Hey wait a minute. I think I recognize that pic on ebay. Is that what its from Icecold? Yeah, it's one of the pics of one of the 2600 Jr.'s I just sold on eBay(ended a couple days ago). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCold Posted January 29, 2003 Author Share Posted January 29, 2003 I would go for CPU's link that camera isnt much different then mine and its cheaper then the one i got here is what i have Concord I've seen that same model of camera that CPUWIZ showed us on eBay in other auctions, so I'll try to find somebody with just as good of a deal that lives in the USA. If not, I'll bid on that one. I really thought a camera that cheap would look like crap, but your pictures looked pretty good Lemmi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nesman85 Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 Anything is better than a webcam. the wormcam for gba isn't. i haven't been able to take a pic with it that is even close to as good of quality as that 2600 pic. i've tried and can never get the lighting right.

Lemmi Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 thanks Icecold just take some time and shop around, i just went to walmarts cause i wanted an easy return situation cause it was my first digital camera purchace (i didnt want to deal with shipping things back and forth) in normal mode i can get about 4 to 6 pics in the camera memory (depends if the flash goes off or not) and thats the mode i used to take those pics i really need to get more memory for it so i dont have to keep running to the computer to upload them after 4 pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would suck to have to ship it back and forth, but if I only pay 50% as much as I would pay at a local store, then it's worth it. Only 4 to 6 pics? Ouch! You can buy more memory though right? I want to make sure I get a camera that you're able to add memory, I don't want to be stuck with the small amount that comes with it. The main reason for me wanting to get this is that I am starting/working on a secret( ) project that I would like to take pics of. Another reason is I'm sick of putting up eBay auctions where the picture doesn't even help the buyer at all. I could just not even put a pic in those auctions and it wouldn't change anything.

IceCold Posted January 29, 2003 Author Share Posted January 29, 2003 Don't get the one I posted then, it has a fixed amount of memory. Well, that one has 2mb memory at least, if I remember right Lemmi's only has 1mb. So I would probably get at least 10 pics out of it, which isn't too bad.
