Shawn Jefferson Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 I think it depends on where you buy it from and what condition it is in. I think that in terms of price (highest to lowest) would be: Atari vendor, eBay, personal sale I'm sure you are aware of the pros and cons of buying from these places. I'd say probably $50-100+ US depending. I got my 800 for $35.00 Canadian dollars from a personal sale, but the machine is yellowed (smokers) and the case has a one broken screw post. It works though. I've picked up 1050 disk drives for $15.00 Canadian at the local thrift store, and sold one on eBay for $51.00 USD. YMMV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+davidcalgary29 Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 I wouldn't think that you would pay more than $35 or so for such a setup if you bought this type of package from an AA member, but you'll probably add $15 or more to the total cost if you insist on an 800, as they're quite heavy and becoming rarer to find in good condition.

Miqorz Posted July 24, 2003 Author Share Posted July 24, 2003 An Atari 800 or 800XL it really doesn't matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+davidcalgary29 Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 You might consider PM'ing Rob Catron; I know he has tons of 8-bit equipment. I also note that mcgrail0007 has a XEGS up for auction with the attractive price of $15, although you'll have to buy cables & the DD separately. He might be able to set you up with a "basic" XE package for about $35, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
