What's the latest Atari related thing(s) you've bought on ebay?


Recommended Posts

Maybe I'm just having a run of bad luck, but I've been outbid on every eBay auction that I've entered for the past three months. There was one nice lot of boxed A8 games that I did want -- but missed it in the end by a few dollars. Argh!

A bite to the pocketbook, but hopefully worth it. It's an SIO2SD interface!

 

I got mine 2 months ago. You went pretty high for yours.

i got one of those by mistake in the mail and had to send it to its rightfull owner! :D

Dunno about Ebay, but this weekend I picked up an 800XL, 400, 810, 2x 410's, a 1010, and an Atari dedicated printer (Sekosha I think) for $30. Not a bad haul. The only bad thing I can find so far is the 810 doesn't seem to want to spin. Everything else works fine. =) Got it off Craigslist...

 

Also ordered a 32-in-1, Happy board, MyIDE, and an official version of APE from Steve and I'm anxiously awaiting their arrival.

 

What a cool weekend. =)

That would be awesome if that is all it is. I've not really had a whole lot of time to look at it other than to open it to see if I can find any mods. None that I saw unfortunately... I'll mess with it some more this weekend and see if I can get it up and running. Thanks!

Recent Ebay: My first Atari 130XE (with yellowing keyboard-yuck!) with a Rana 1000. I wanted it more for the Rana 1000 since that was my first floppy drive back in 1984!

 

Rework the motherboard, and slam it in a !200XL case...

There is no finer machine...\

An original ICD 130XE cart port+ECI extender, a MIDIMate, and a boxed ICD P:R: connection (the MIDIMate and P:R: came with their original disks).

If I could find a decent 1200XL case. Can't believe how crappy those keyboards are near the end of the 8-bit life cycle. Can you really type on it??? Just completed the Super Video MOD today. Probably will do the 32 in one OS since the OS is socketed. Much nicer than my 800XL with Super Video MOD.

It says, "Ready to plug and play." I would think that means it is a functional unit. You might be able to dispute that with PayPal.

My last 2 acquisitions from Ebay were for 2600 carts:

 

Frogger II: Threedeep!

Pressure Cooker

 

Both were loose carts and in great shape.

 

I've been shying away from buying stuff on Ebay. Seems like there are more horror stories than success stories lately. Seems like anything I might want to buy, I can find right here in the marketplace. The reputations are taken more seriously here and you get a fair price. No worries about getting junk. I love it here. I still sell on Ebay, though. If you see one of my auctions, bid with confidence. ;)

I bought a mint and unused Atari portfolio :D :D

Nice find. And at a killer price. Well done :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

My CIB 600xl arrived today. Seller actually shipped it in the Atari box- he just taped the ends shut and slapped a shipping label on it, ruining a perfectly good box. The computer itself is in excellent shape- no yellowing. The "H" and "J" keys don't work for some reason so I'll be pulling it apart tonight. Plans for this one are 1) 64K Ram upgrade 2) Internal SIO2PC-usb 3) Monitor port-video mod.

and an internal SIO2SD while the case is open :twisted:
