Bryan Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Crap, I just made a $40 mistake. I bought a $400 electronics item and then noticed I had a 10% ebay coupon. I'm on ebay so much I don't even notice those promotional things anymore. Crap Crap Crap!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JokerCPoC Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 there will never be enough people to boycott Ebay to make them change their evilbay ways Probably not, but this hasn't gone beyond the USA yet either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fibrewire Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Mu how far We've come since then, The equivalent of that whole board would fit in My hand as will the drive. Close, but not quite. The Corvus OmniDisk is a Network Attached Storage device - 20 years ahead of it's time. Also, there was the Corvus Bank - Network Attached Backup using the precursor to DLT, and the Corvus Concept - a network bootable computer system with Portrait-Landscape rotatable high resolution monitor. Someday I hope to have an Atari 800 / Corvus Concept / Apple III network with shared storage and tape backup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rybags Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Maybe these stupidly priced auctions are put up by henpecked husbands who tell their wives that their old gear is "worth hundreds and shouldn't just be given away or thrown out". So, when the auction (obviously) fails, the other half won't want them to throw out their "valuable gear". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faicuai Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Arrived today. Needless to say, does not match the photo on eBay. This is what happens when you remove the screws from the case, wrap the unit in a bit of bubble wrap (without taping it), wad up a few pages of newspaper, then drop in two power supplies (loose) to act like twin wrecking balls during shipment. And no, I performed no disassembly -- all these pieces were as I pulled them out of the box. Enjoy! ...This is a F-TRAGEDY. ...No doubt those power-supplies played plain close-encounter bowling with that poor 800. Nevertheless, I must tell you that the 800 unit you show there does not seem in good condition, anyway (plastic-case seems all foul-colored, not just age-yellowing). Usually, I asked all my shippers IN WRITING to pack-up very, very carefully and I also explain the actual parts that would most vulnerable if not properly packed, and how they could break. Next, I ask insurance on shipment, so in case sender chickens-out with his/her own f-up, I still have someone to go after. I did that when getting my A800, even knowing that it was coming with the two-tone blue MicroCase carrying-case. Good luck with this wreck, though. F.

atarian63 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 My XF551 SIO connections are perfect, thank to someone named Ken... The SIO's aren't THAT bad. Sure, they're not the best but have always carried two of these around Europe, from meeting to meeting, with lot's of plugging in and out and plenty of abuse and never had a problem with those. YMMV. IIABFIA:"If it aint broke, fix it anyway!" That sounds like what's being discussed on the ebay forums right now, Ebay changed the user interface in the USA and lots of users, Both Buyers and Sellers aren't happy and people are talking Boycott... 1st ebay changed the interface to the new one, then ebay changed It back to the old one and then changed the interface once again to the new and hated interface, people are complaining. Yep, I hate it too! Ebay always make the wrong choice, every time it seems.. hard to be wrong all the time but they seem to be trying for it !
