Mendon Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 Thought I would post this here since maybe not everyone visits the Marketplace. Have you ever been impulsive? Bought something on the spur of the moment without thinking?? Well, I did. Was taking a tour of flea markets around the area yesterday when I came upon a booth that had a lot of computer gear in it. As I'm looking looking the booth I saw a Falcon030 just sitting there on a shelf. I talked to the guy about it, he fired it up and it took right off. He said he had it for about 3mos and had been asking $400 for it but would take the first $325 that came along. Without question, I flung my credit card at him and walked out with it. All the way home I got to thinking what a great deal and find this was. But as I pulled in the drive-way I had to ask myself what the hell I had done. I certainly didn't need a 2nd Falcon and it would only sit in a closet doing nothing unless something happened to my other Falcon. So, since I was impulsive and didn't really need to buy it, and since the wife is threatening to cancel all my CC's if I don't stop my "madness", I've decided to sell this Falcon for exactly what I paid for it: $325. After getting it home, I fired it up and found that it is a stock Falcon030 with 4megs of RAM and a Conner 63meg HD. Every key works on it and it is in excellent cosmetic condition. I ran Diamond Edge on it and found no bad sectors at all on the HD. Played a few games on it and it worked without flaw. The HD is clean, meaning no programs are on it. No mouse came with it and I don't really have any extras to spare (one per machine I own) so a mouse isn't included. If the buyer wants, I will throw in two other items I have no need for: an upgrade board called a RAMGizmo and Cubase Score (see pictures). The dongle comes with CS along with a notebook full of doc's plus the original manual. There are two original disks plus 2 disks that have extra's on them (to be honest, I haven't even done a directory of any of the disks since I have no interest in the program). Also has a HD utility disk that I am unfamiliar with. All these items will add to the weight of the package and increase your shipping cost so thats why I made these items optional. As I said, I'll sell it all for $325 plus shipping & insurance. Shipping will be via UPS ground and will be exact cost. Because I have not owned or played with this Falcon that much I feel I can only sell it "AS IS". But I am being totally honest when I say that in the few hours I played with it I experienced no problems at all with anything I did with it. If no one here wants it by this Wednesday, I'll put it up on eBay and let the bidders have a go at it. Email me at mendon3@aol.com or PM me here. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Mendon Posted January 26, 2004 Author Share Posted January 26, 2004 Should have added that both the VGA and Atari monitor adapters are included also. Sent you a PM back, Nick. Mendon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 Should have added that both the VGA and Atari monitor adapters are included also. If you want to sell that Atari adapter seperetly let me know. I think I'm going to need one (unless mine miraculously comes with one).

PeteDude Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Repeat that sentiment three times. This would have been a good time for me to buy one. Oh well. I put my two pennies in @ eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjlazah Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 @mendon Did that Falcon you had have a 030 @ 35MHz? Was that a upgrade board in it or was it overclocked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
