retrogeek Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 (edited) You wouldn't believe what I found! Up north in the New Hampshire area is a small computer thrift shop that specializes in old computer equipment. He has your standard fair of PCs sitting around, but what makes this store different from the rest is the enormous collection of Atari hardware and software he has for sale. He has every Atari 8-bit computer known to us for sale in mint / near-mint condition. His selection of Atari ST equipment is mind-blowing. He has multiple 1040sts for sale, Monochrome and color ST monitors, originally boxed ST software, hard drives, manuals, user guides, and who knows what else. He is also a big Atari fan. I discovered his store one day while taking a road trip, but when I stopped by he was closed. I wrote down the number and left a message on his answering machine. He called me late last night and we must have had an hour long conversation about Atari. During our conversation he mentioned that someone recently traded in a new (I said new!) Atari 800xl in retail box for a PC tower system. He said the person who traded this system in didn't know what he was giving away and I have to agree. I tried to talk the owner into selling the new Atari 800xl but he refused. He said it’s going to sit alongside his Atari 520st -- which is the original one he purchased in 1985. If anyone has a wish list or is looking for something in particular, I'd be happy to look for it when I visit his store today at 1pm EST.

Gunstar Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Tell the Dealer about Atari Age. See if he's interested in mail-order. He could list what he has for sale here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent idea, I have never played an Atari computer. I have to admit they do look interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in Hudson and wouldn't mind taking a road trip. ~telengard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deteacher Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Hell, I live in DE and I make several trips to NH each year to visit family. Can you please give us the name of the store and the address/phone number? It seems like there are a lot of people interested in checking this place out. Thanks!

I'm really gonna try to make the effort to stop in there this summer. I just did the mapquest thing, and the trip is about 140 miles oneway! Do you think he'd be interested in buying some ST stuff? I'm on the fence with my ST collection.... Buy more stuff for it or sell it all off!?!? -rick PS.... Is he open weekends???? If so can you post his hours?

His hours are a bit awkward so hopefully I get this right: Mon & Wed 1pm-6pm Tues, Thurs, Fri 1pm-9pm He is open on Saturday but he takes Sundays off. I'm not sure if he would be interested in buying ST paraphernalia, but since he's an ST user himself, he just might bite! I am interested in ST software / equipment as well so drop me a line too if you ever decide to sell any of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's what I have.... a 1040STf and a Mega STE2 ( keyboard and floppy are both dead) A big pile of ST Format and ST Informer magazines and about 50+ floppys. 1 atari color and 1 atari mono monitor.

retrogeek Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 (edited) Are there any falcons? I still need an Atari... Hey guys, I don't want you to think that I am ignoring this thread (I was thinking that everyone has seen the same thread in 8-bit and knew what was going on). To make a long story short, I have decided not to deal with the thrift store in Lee, NH. I haven't purchased anything from him either. The owner really needs a lesson in customer service and his attitude is a big turn off. In my opinion he doesn't deserve my money or anyone else's. I waited weeks for him to send me an updated list of product and he never came through. Every time I called to find out where the list was he would be rude for no apparent reason. Apparently the stubborn, old fool doesn’t like to make money... It's a shame; he has all those goodies in his store collecting dust because he refuses to be reasonable. Edit: His reason for having high prices was laughable at best. According to him, these items are rare and can't be found anywhere. Right... Atari ST computers may not be common these days but you can find one if you look hard enough; I can guarantee the price will be far cheaper than what he charges.
