Cleaning Time

[RedWolf]

Hmm... Do you accept money orders? I don't want to give a cut to THE MAN, and I don't know if I have any more checks. plus, if I do have a check left, There's a chance I would forget about this purchase, and spend a little too much before you deposit the check.

That's what balancing your checkbook is for.   But seriously, I hate USPS money orders because I have to go to the post office to cash them.  I'll accept a certified check from a bank, which is like a money order where you give them the money up front.

Hmm.. That would definitely work.  An even $90 should cut it, then.  Unless, of course, you are reconsidering the costs you initially put up for the shipping and the products.

Let me get everything out, take a look at it, make sure it's ok, and then I'll give you a final price.  It will be near the range(s) I gave you, although the shipping could be quite expensive.

Now I just have to get off my lazy / busy butt and do it.

All right.  One last question, though.  What ROM version does the A500 have? and do you have the appropriate Workbench discs?

(I know.. that's two questions...)

I just booted up the Amiga 500 and it appears a little flaky.  It says "Workbench 1.3" on boot-up without disks, but the graphic is sometimes a little garbled.  If I had to guess, I'd say that the ROMs are loose in their sockets (if indeed they are in sockets) or there's some other flaky connection problem.  I'll do a little more poking and probably take it apart to re-seat everything.  Either way, rest assured that I won't sell you a non-working Amiga 500.  I'm no Amiga expert though, and my software pickings are slim, so I'm not sure if I have any spare workbench disks on hand.

On the other hand, I do have some spare 7800 games to go with your new 7800 you're buying from Fred:

Food Fight
Donkey Kong Junior
Ms. Pac-Man
Choplifter!
Galaga
Mario Bros.
Xevious
Asteroids

I'll sell them for $3 a piece or all of them for $20.  Mario Bros. alone usually sells for around $10 on eBay.

The Apple IIe's looking good, though.  I've got a nice clean one, and I'll test it out with a few Disk II drives soon.

Wow.  I don't have any of those games, nor have I ever had or played them (on original hardware, that is).  I'll definitely purchase them.

I forgot to clarify that they're just the cartridges; no boxes or manuals.

[Fred]

How much for the Vectrex? I don't have any extra cash right now but I might soon. Do you also have any controllers for the TI 99?

[sirpaul484]

Eh, I guessed they were just loose cartridges anyways.

I am looking forward to all this stuff.  Too bad I don't have any room at all for any of it... Hindsight is 20/20.

*mutters* maybe if I add an extension to the overhang of my desk, and put my current A500 in the closet...

Have you gotten an estimate yet? I have the money now.

Have you gotten an estimate yet? I have the money now.

I've been very busy lately, but I haven't forgotten this stuff.  Send me an email or PM in a week or so to remind me if I haven't gotten back to you by then.

[sirpaul484]

Just a friendly reminder about the sales.  I have the money, and I am ready for Apple II goodness.

Two things, though.  First of all, is it a standard Apple IIe, or an enhanced?  It doesn't matter either way, I am just curious.

Secondly, I am going to be moving in about a month.  Do you think the shipping would take longer than that? If so, I could hold it off (again), and send you the money later.
