bjk7382 Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Argg I tried to sign up but AOL ate the email. So I tried to register again after I altered the aol settings and it said that my email and username were already taken. Now what do I do? Try a different username, I think there was another person having problems with getting emails also. I personally got it instantly after I signed up.

FND Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Argg I tried to sign up but AOL ate the email. So I tried to register again after I altered the aol settings and it said that my email and username were already taken. Now what do I do? I had the same problem, just sent them an email explaining the problem and they opened my account from there side, just make sure you send your name and user name from your AOL email account so they can verify your email Also not sure why I never received the confirmation email the first time as I did receive there response, checked my AOL settings and there was no reason it would have been blocked as its set to allow all email ?

+Mitch Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 I had the same problem. I emailed them and they said that they were having problems with hotmail and aol accounts being blocked by microsoft and aol. They were working on getting it cleared up and activated my account manually. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 They need an expanded computer section to include classic systems. -Bry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolphy Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 and they also need another edv-system to check up their billings. I paid my charges two times via paypal and still have an amount in debit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 They picked up on a possible Hotmail problem with me, first time they said they'd had a fault with it. Fortunately they authorised me anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nesman85 Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 i registered and got my email immediately. i think they need a better search system though, at least if the site gets more popular (and it probably will). for example, i search for "nes" and it comes up with mostly 5200 games, 2600 games, a few games for other systems, and then there's some nes games thrown in with the results. if the site gets popular and there's a whole lot of items listed, i don't want to look through 30 pages of atari games when i'm looking for nes games, ya know? the problem could be solved easily by putting in a "search title only" feature i think.

nesman85 Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 nevermind, i didn't realize that you can search by categories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 Mr Edewaard, We had initially not planned to support classic computers, but only modern computers that LAN party players use. Yours in among several emails requesting the addition of such categories and this email has been forwarded to the devgroup for review. In the meantime, one of our advertisers is Vintage Marketplace (http://marketplace.vintage.org) where classic computers are being sold. Thank you for the reply. There is a lot of cross-over hardware between classic consoles and computers (such as the Atari 800 and 5200, and Coleco's Adam), and ebay is not set up well for older systems (it all falls under "vintage"), so thank you for your consideration of the matter, and congratulations on the launch! -Bry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad2600 Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 I haven't been using Bidiots much but I appreciate the variety that's been popping up there. It's better than EBay in the way that reproductions and prototypes don't get pulled like they do on EBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari_wizard Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 is it cheaper to list an item on bidiots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
