Keep your eyes peeled on ebay and add "Atari 830" to your watch list. I see 1 was sold for $99.99 and another for $79.99 in the past few months...

It was kind of funny at VCF Midwest to have the boxed ones, with the modem still in the box while I displayed one of the "not in box" on top of it. Of course, the 830 with the phone was the thing most people "interacted" with. Next year, I'll bring both 830's and get another phone and do a dueling banjos display where people can talk to each other. An 800 and 400 next to each other, both running Telelink I with a viking line simulator between them... that could be cool. Cool, I should still have 2 boxed SX212's and 2 boxed XM301's too... That why I want to keep both 830's to demo them connected up together using 2 old desk phones. One day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One day Even better, you should come to VCF Midwest (or I should come to VCF SoCal) and we can each bring just one and do the demo between us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But since I already had two I didn't want to spend that kind of money for a piece of paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YSG2020 Posted September 12 Author Share Posted September 12 (edited) Respectfully, I won’t need to buy off fleabay. Atariage members here have been generous and giving in the past and I am faithful and thankful they will continue to be providing to our fellowship. Thx.

This seems more like one of those guys who can't afford the hobby so he wants to guilt us all into treating it like a charity. Guess the Spaniard figured out what it was worth. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YSG2020 Posted September 13 Author Share Posted September 13 Fair value would be under $100 shipped. I don’t appreciate your tone nor attitude Tillek. Very greedy and sad.

No need for such comments here. We support each other here as enthusiasts. Why the spite? So I got this from the YSG2020..... Quote Why are you making jealous smart ass comments on my recent posts? You have no idea who I am. I’d appreciate it if you grow up and stop if you don’t have anything positive or constructive to contribute without making yourself look like an ass to the entire community here. Thx. First, I'm not jealous. I have two of what you want and I was willing to pay the going rate because I wanted it. I'm fed up with people who don't understand the free market economy and want something for free or lower than the value because... why again? Because we have the same hobby? I have no idea who you are? You have no idea who I am. I'm the guy who thinks people like you are whiners. Things cost what they cost, but you want to cry about it. You already said someone offered to sell you one, but you want to whine some more because he's on the wrong continent? You might have to wait a few more days? Ever actually order something from overseas? It's not that long of a wait. So now you want to insult me? You think I'm greedy? I don't sell my collection... I buy. You want me to sell to you for less than I bought it for? Insisting that someone sell you something for less than they can get elsewhere makes you a thief in my book. You're literally coercing and guilting people into throwing away money by selling to you under "market value". You don't even have a clue what their financial situation might be and how much they need that money and what it's doing to them inside to sell their stuff to feed their family. You're a whining thief in my book. Why am I obligated to "support" you because we have the same hobby? Good luck panhandling... hope you can live with yourself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tillek Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 And just out of curiosity, who the hell are you to decide what a "fair value" is? Fair to whom? You, or the guy you're "stealing" it from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need for such comments here. We support each other here as enthusiasts. Why the spite? Keep looking on ebay then. Being an AA member doesn't entitle you to 50% to 70% off Fair Market Value of what other members have paid for. @Tillek is just voicing what others here are probably thinking. It's not greed, it's inflation... Most of everything Atari I have bought on ebay in the past 13 years has either Doubled or even Quadrupled in price. An 830 alone is worth a min of $75, if you get a power adapter, RS-232 cable or Box included, you're talking more $$ for each... 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's a good point... one of my 830's didn't come with a power supply, so on top of that, I had to fork out $30 for that too. It's not even inflation, it'd demand. When I was showing my BBS stuff off at VCF Midwest this past weekend, the #1 item at my tables that generated interest was the 830 Acoustic Modem. The Falcon was #2. The C128 was #3 (damn heathens).

Tillek Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 Just now, AtariGeezer said: Nope. I'd report it if he tried... That PM he sent you was uncalled for... Eh, I've had worse. I can be a prick, I'll freely admit that... but this time all I did was call out a guy (even more in a teasing way) who didn't want to pay "fair" prices for something and even rejected the guy who made him a deal because he was from Spain. Then he went straight to insulting by insinuating things about my life. He's a loser and I would discourage anyone from cutting him a break because "community". If anyone has something they want to sell cheap to a fellow enthusiast, I'm 100% certain there are more deserving souls out there than this guy. But for what it's worth, I did get a kick out of him "not appreciating my tone or attitude". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 Guys, please stick to the subject without attacking each other and calling each other names, okay? It's not a crime to try and get something for a better price, or not wanting to buy something on eBay. I'd also much prefer to buy something from someone here rather than eBay. Doesn't mean you'll succeed, but this thread has gone off the rails. Please don't make me lock it. Thank you, ..Al 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
