Beeblebrox Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Aside from the rather high asking price, (understatement!), check out the listing itself.

I'd potentially be interested in the deal if the seller included a framed print of their listing rant, signed by themselves. That might be worth something in the years to come heh heh! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough their feedback rating are fine. So seems people buy from them and there isn't any comment as to any issues in dealing with them. I'd have expected a few negative comments at least. Some of the Atari listings I find as a buyer are woefully inadequate in the listing wording (sometimes "Atari 800XL for sale" is all you get. Then there is Rajni16, who is the polar opposite!
