Lynx consoles at the VCF Midwest next weekend

[djglish]

Our old Atari computer club in Milwaukee (MilAtari) was given a couple of Lynx gaming systems back in the day when we were running MidiMaze Rings at Gencon.  We'll be selling them off at the VCF Midwest in the Chicago area next weekend.  There are two Lynx IIs with power blocks and a ComLynx cable and another Lynx II with the power cable, ComLynx cable, Sun screen and the padded nylon case.  All three of these Lynxs are in "very good" shape. We also have an older Lynx 1 with a fair amount of wear on the case but a clean screen.

 

There are also 24 assorted games that will be on sale too.  

 

If you are in the area check them out.

Midimaze on Lynx, nice

[djglish]

Sorry.  We ran MidiMaze on Atari supplied STs.  At our peak when Atari was supplying us with equipment we ran two 16 player rings each hour.  A ticket was $2.00 and Gencon took half and our club got to keep the other half. We also had extra STs, Lynxs and 8-bits running separately for open gaming and the At the end of the show we would send the equipment back.  The first year Atari let us keep some of the Sts which were given to club members that had helped man the area.  That's how I upgraded from an 800XL to a 520STfm.  The next year we were allowed to keep the Lynx systems.

I obviously was kidding. Wish there had been something like that in the 90ties

I know @Albert was looking for two systems… though Chicago is a hike for him.

If they don't sell at the VCF I would be willing to sell them here and ship.

Ballpark prices?

[Clint Thompson]

Curious about asking price too. I never carry cash but might make an exception when I’m out there this weekend. Only need 1 system. 

[djglish]

I'll be asking $175.00 for the two Lynx IIs with the power block and ComLynx cable and $225.00 for the one with the Sun shade, Nylon case and an old Lynx Magazine from the day.  The boxed games will be $15.00 each and the bagged games (game and instructions, but no box) for $10.00 each.

 

Hope these are reasonable prices. 

 

I also have a couple of Atari banners.  They are about 5' x 2'.  These are authentic 19900s banners.  Will be asking for $40.00 each for these.  The picture is from 1993 Midwest Gaming Classic inn the Milwaukee Wisconsin area.  We had ten computers linked via Midi cables, running MidiMaze.  Shows one of the banners.

That's awesome.

If I manage to make it, I want to snag one of those banners!

That's really cool that Atari let you keep that stuff.

What games are you looking to sell off?

[djglish]

All of the Lynx's sold quickly along with the games
