6BQ5 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I was trying to remember the original MSRP's of the different ST, TT, and Falcon machines and could not come up with any solid numbers. Is there a list somewhere on the web that shows this? Google failed me. I want to say I remember the various 520 ST models were $499 and the 1040 ST models were $799. Are those numbers right?

anzac Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 You do understand that prices werent fixed forever? Atari broke the 1000$ for a computer with 1MB of RAM, but in end the STFM was being sold in Europe for less than £150... So, youre looking for launch prices, average during lifetime or specific period/location? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6BQ5 Posted February 1, 2019 Author Share Posted February 1, 2019 Thanks for the reply! Yes, I am looking for launch prices. That is something I missed in my original post. I understand the prices fell quite dramatically, especially near the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anzac Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I think launch prices should be relatively easy to find. Have you tried Wikipedia? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the original 1040ST was priced in the US at $999, because Atari made a big deal how this was the first 1MB computer for under $1000. This price included a monochrome monitor I think, because you couldn't buy just the ST in the beginning. The original 520ST bundle was priced at $799 I think I think later ST models were $499 or $399. After the STfm came out, you no longer required the specific monitor.
