Havok69 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 I just got some sealed Atari 8 bit games, and once I received them.. I OPENED them! And then enjoyed using them! Worth every penny to get that just bought it in the 80's feeling. Collectors beware! 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shithead is attempting to flip it for $10K. And every single one of his nine posts on AA are, in one form or another, related to selling something. While I completely understand that nobody is compelled to go down any particular path of participation after signing up here, that doesn't prevent me (or anyone else, for that matter) from thoroughly disliking them treating the community as though it were an open wallet. Fuck flippers. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sad but true... this is the way some people act and are, I only get stuff to people who will use it, not put it in vault, or buy shit up and hold/destroy to create rarity and then try to make ridiculous money off of generosity. I don't remember all the details but I do recall the person I bought my 800 from wanted to make sure I would take care of it before selling it to me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 This is why I have been trying to archive as much as possible. So if you have any un-archived disks, cassettes, boxes, manuals, etc., please either archive them or let someone else archive them. If you don't know what has been archived, just ask here on Atariage. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACML Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 For about two seconds, it actually looked like a 1450XLD. Then you realize its just a 1200XL with two 1050s stacked on top. Asking $1,500, but hey it's got free shipping!

_The Doctor__ Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Because someone didn't pay attention, I expect a re listing in the future. Whoever did it has a iron clad case of ship padding and gouging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reifsnyderb Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 29 minutes ago, leech said: How much do 1200s typically go for these days? I've seen them go for about $150 in bad shape up to over $500 in perfect condition. I think what happened here was that the buy it now price scared people away and somebody put in a bid. With a short bidding period, there was one winning bid and one retracted bid. So, the sale didn't work out like the seller expected. With the total cost of $480, the buyer might have gotten a fair deal....given current prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+x=usr(1536) Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 It appears as though there was only one bid on the auction with the $300 final value. To me, that sounds like setting the BIN with the intention that a specific buyer can hit the 'Buy it Now' button on an item at an agreed price. Both parties get to do the transaction inside of eBay, but without having to go through the auction process, basically. Either way, something about that seller seems off to me. Can't quite put my finger on it, but their other current auction is for a TRS-80 Model 1 PSU. $1 opening bid, $129.00 BIN price, $50 shipping. I'd dig deeper into their historical items, but...

And you rarely find one with that nice of a box. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, you likely did OK given the amount of stuff included other than just the drives and computer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Badger Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 The “1450 style” was a good laugh. Also the buy now price was shocking. Had to press that bid button very carefully. Excited to swap out the XEGS 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
