+Vorticon Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 There is frankly little practical use for the 99/4 other than a curiosity and a collector's item. There is no value for me to acquire one unless is was something like $29.99 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jedimatt42 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 We could start telling the folks selling 4's that they don't even have lowercase letters... So they should cost half as much as the 4a's -M@ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeBo Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 TI-99/4 with volume control and internal speaker!!! Shipping for the two consoles (a 4A is in the mix) would be astronomical to Canada from Venezuela but might not be bad to the southern US. Even not working I figure this is the rarest or the rare 99/4's. (If you respect the machine as little as Richard Rawlings respects beautiful cars, you could always just flip it of course) http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Texas-Instruments-TI99-4-rare-and-TI-99-4A-For-parts-and-repair-not-working-/391392777032?hash=item5b20d3d348:g:re0AAOSwzgRWzrTB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I may try to snag that one just to get the necessary parts to see if I can rebuild my 99/4 prototype. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega-TI Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 It IS still possible to get a good deal on Ebay, even if someone is asking an astronomical price. I need a few cartridge shells for future use, so I thought I'd go online and look. I found an auction that had some worthless cartridges, no big deal, I only want the shells. Anyway I decided to make an offer since that option was listed. I figured two bucks per shell was a fair price. I was gratified that the offer was accepted. Now if I come away with a few new UberCart boards from Fest West I'll have something to put them in! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 What's a Frogger Cartridge worth anyway? I saw this in a current auction on Ebay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 The Frogger cart is worth whatever the buyer is willing to pay. That said, the Parker Brothers cartridges are generally worth about $10 to $15 dollars loose, but a pristine example may go for quite a bit more if more than one person is looking for one at exactly the right time (from the seller's perspective).

Omega-TI Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 I dunno, who is crazier, he or the people who bought the 12 sold? Zach has a history of RAISING the prices AFTER people have purchased items at a lower price. It's misleading to say the least, if not unethical. He's done that with those little yellow keyboard covers as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Schmitzi Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 . yeah, the rarer the parts, the higher the prices are And after selling i.e. many of the brandnew PEBs, there should be enough room now, to sit on the remaining parts, due to higher prices But, why not. He really has nice fresh parts, and one day somebody will buy that, I am sure, (I also bought some PEBs and more from him in the past years, and all was *absolutely perfect*) And, in comparison to so much sh*tty "As-Is"-auctions on eBay, this here is adorable (but the price, of course) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OLD CS1 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Yeah, I got my NOS PEB from him for like $89. Quite a bargain. But looking at the keyboards, even $19.99 for that crappy Mitsumi membrane keyboard is off-kilter. Some folks must have REALLY wanted it. I gave a couple of the ones I had away and threw the rest out. I could not bring myself to taking money off someone even if they really really wanted them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 Lantronix UDS-10's << CLICK LINK HERE >> The seller has FIVE of these, listed with FREE SHIPPING. The asking price is $22.00... BUT he has the MAKE OFFER button up. Who knows, if you offer $12-$15 he might accept... then you can get online with Stuart's Internet Browser or start cruising the TI BBS's at 19,200 - 38,400!

+InsaneMultitasker Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Be sure you have a power adapter... looks like some numbskull didn't keep them together with the units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitkraft Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Is a compatible adapter hard to find? I can usually scrounge one up with my spares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+MacRorie Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 (edited) A couple of things on these: 1. The power supply is fairly easy to get: It will take ANYTHING from 9v-30vDc 1a. Make sure the tip is positive. 2. They may not have had power supplies as some of them can draw power from the Ethernet/RS232 jack. (The AC models, not so much, but the UDS-1100 accepts AC & 9-24VDC). Edit for my confusing the two. Edited March 8, 2016 by MacRorie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
