I noticed the current bid for this was $103.50.
I'd love to hear if
you actually collect that much for it. I can't believe someone
actually wants it THAT bad.
Me too. I figured $20-$30. But who am I to complain? But like they say,
talk is cheap. We'll see if they pull through. I had a Radio Shack hard
drive that was bid up to $150 a while back. Both high bidders flaked and
I relisted it and sold it for $30. Go figure.
On the other hand, I had a garage sale last weekend. Not one person
interested in the piles of Apple, Commodore, Atari stuff. I mean, if you
guys aren't going to garage sales to buy stuff, you're missing a lot of
deals. Most of the stuff at the Goodwill has an old garage sale sticker
on it.

I'm curious, does anyone really have any luck with garage sales. I've been
hitting them the past couple weeks, to see what I could come up with.
Today I hit over a dozen, what did I find, a Tandy 1000, and a TeleVideo
console. The console would have been OK, but I didn't want to pay what
they wanted since I don't have a use for it. As for the Tandy, correct me
if I'm wrong, but it's a PC clone, which I don't collect.
Basically the only place I seem to have any luck is at Goodwill, or a swap
meet. Although I did find a guy at the local Flea Market that had the
TI/99-4A cartridge I wanted. Problem is, he doesn't deal in computers only
console systems and cartridges.

true. i recently found a tv repair shop that seems to be cleaning out his
back room - lots of electronic junk piled up outside. in the pile i found
an Aquarius with a 25 cent price tag on it, presumably picked up at a yard
sale somewhere. Also in the pile were an Atari 800 and an Apple IIe
(enhanced) with two disk drives (broken keyboard but it works!). also
dozens of old printers in various state of cannibalization and a bunch of
EGA monitors.
