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

I bid a few minutes after the auction showed up. Several days later, I check the listing, and "There Are Also Cracks In the Back Nothing That Effects Operation" magically shows up in the listing. Cracked, but does not effect operation - must only be important to me & the Japanese...

There is no way for anyone reading your post to know the description had changed after you had already placed a bid. I could only look at what was in the current description that might change your mind.

 

I think it should mention prominently on the page when an items description has been edited/updated, perhaps this is displayed for those who had already placed a bid.

This "transit tested" logo.

 

I'll never forget it. The first time I remember seeing it was in the inner box (inside that fragile posterboard exterior we pay so much for) of my brand-new-with-48K-no Atari 800.

 

I worked - for a number of years - at UPS and FedEx - and I used to see that exact logo on other boxes. Then I'd wonder into an addled daydream.....interrupted by the shout of a co-worker "HEY MAN" which would snap me out of old Atari 800 fantasy land....

*Almost* bought a super sweet mint condition Atari 810 drive, but something is wrong with it. Can you tell what it is? Hint: Check out the eBay description.

 

eBay Auction -- Item Number: 2707275290851?ff3=2&pub=5574883395&toolid=10001&campid=5336500554&customid=&item=270727529085&mpt=[CACHEBUSTER]

I almost went for a sweet Atari 400 w/48K and a real full stroke keyboard, a Basic cart, a psu and a TV adapter(RCA to Coax).

It sold for $107.50 Before Shipping, If I'd had more than $76.60 I would have bought It Myself, Shipping for Me was $13.55 of course.

Tough to judge. You have 2 or 3 already, so you probably wouldn't. I have none (keyboarded-400s) and I wouldn't. But it's not easy to put a price on this stuff. I'm assuming this guy doesn't eat shit out of a gutwagon to live like I do, so if he can afford it, good for 'im!

 

Doesn't help the fact that Orpheus has a collection I'm *extremely* jealous for, though. :) :) :)

I would never have paid that much when I had 0 :D each of my 400's has been less than $20.00 (and I have one with that exact KB with 48k)

Yeah, Patience can be a virtue, But I can get impatient or I can be very patient, As It depends on My mood. I know another will come along, Eventually, It's the keyboard that made the so attractive, As that is rare since It was made only by one of two 3rd party companies and I don't think those exist anywhere at all anymore, But as to a 400 w/48K? I know where one is now for $49.99, Plus shipping of $26.62 to Me, But It has the stock membrane keyboard and yep, I'm nearly broke once again and right now is just not the right time, After October or November, Sure, Just not now. I'd have to raise $100 just to buy that one and I'd rather not as I'd rather have one with a full stroke keyboard and only two types were ever made, the one that was pictured above or one that I had that more closely matches the original keyboard positions of the keys. But at least I know how high It could go and then prepare accordingly, Once I'm properly prepped, I'm not an easy bidder to beat, As I can make It very expensive for someone else, Just to achieve My objective. Of course this 400 comes w/a psu brick, all connecting accessories(cables?) and an XC12 cassette recorder(only the box is shown) with Programming Cassettes and no Manual, He says the manual can be downloaded, that would be interesting.

More pics. Want to see pics of it set up on your 130XE, and working. Then I can complete the jealousy factor. Glad you got it. That wasn't like pulling teeth now, was it? :)
