Grig Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Good point. I was saving up so I can have an auction like the one at Goodwill a couple of months ago. Man, I never find any good stuff at Goodwill. I'm envious of the stuff I've seen posted here [as well as on Youtube] that people have picked up at Goodwill. All I have to say is here in Sacramento, Goodwill is totally ghetto in terms of their wares. I've been there - are you surprised at the ghettoness of a Sacramento Goodwill?

polbit Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I lucked out and got a brand new 800XL for cheap that is the best NOS find I've had in a long time, and fully socketed: eBay Auction -- Item Number: 300713685284 I also got a new 1200XL in great condition for a lot more money...: eBay Auction -- Item Number: 110882432176 And finally got a 1200XL and 1050 drive on Craigslist for $40 that turned out to be basically new as well... I think I'm done with XL shopping for a while, now it's time to upgrade them! Polbit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very sad indeed. My favorite GW is in Austin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnBuell Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Finally got my hands on a 1200XL manual, and it came with a 1982 product catalog (1010, 1020, 1025, but no XL computers (yet?)). Also got a couple of games from Germany, one of which was an actual Atari title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(xe, joysticks, cables) is extreme.. in czech you can buy this from 1$ This may be true, but it will be a PAL XE and have a buggy GTIA, and then you would have to ship it to the US...

Rybags Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Not quite Atari but I BIN'd 2 CIA chips for my Amigas. $6 each is an OK price, I've got 1 machine that thinks the joystick is always pressed forward due to a static zap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacobus Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Wow, nice collection Jacobus. Is that an official poster on the bottom? or something you put together yourself? Thanks very much! Poster? No, the bottom one is a complete (as far as I know) collection of the flat package versions (with the un-trimmed artwork). I have an idea that Fort Apocalypse was produced in that format, but no confirmation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
