Mine is available for €170 😁 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beeblebrox Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Also none of the joysticks are particularly clean. For that amount of money I'd expect them to sparkle like a diamond!! Anyone thinking of messaging the seller to question the high price they are commanding for these 'Rare' joysticks? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beeblebrox Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 An 800 for £649 plus £35 postage. Bad enough you think, then you find out the game carts shown in the listing running on the machine aren't included!!! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/305090625342?hash=item4708d17f3e:g:aagAAOSwZUBk5yll If you look at the seller's other machine listings they are selling other 8 bit computers for stupid amounts of money. A Commodore 128 for shy of £600!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beeblebrox Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 (edited) I may have mentioned this before, but there are several sellers on Ebay in the US and UK, Europe, who do this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/335210447788? Atari 800 XL XE -- SD card for the SIO2SD disk drive emulator also SIO2PC ROMs Essentially all they do take a dirt cheap and easily sourced (often crappy), Sdcard, then save free/easily obtainable public domain softwares for said devices to the card. They then sell these for various devices (such as SIO2SD or Sdrive max), for what is IMHO an extortionate amount of money!! Worse - postage costs on top! 😜 You can buy Sio2SD units over here in the UK for £25. These sellers are selling these cheap cards and free software for pretty much the same amount again. I once contacted one of these sellers asking why they charged so much for what is free software on a very low cost medium. They came back saying it was there time spent doing it, and because some people don't know how to find such things, so as such they are providing a service. I think as these are devices for retro machines, where most people are savvy enough to be able to source these things in the first place, I am not convinced with this argument. Still, people are buying these, so whadda I know! Edited January 15 by Beeblebrox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
