I'm nearing the finishing stages of my Atari 8 bit collection (at least all that I can afford!). I just received my AWESOME looking 48k Atari 800 from Labrat (thanks again!) but it is lonely without the matching 810 disk drive, so I am looking for a working 810 at a good price (duh). I need the power supply and the SIO cable as well, please (the 810 does not need to be boxed, but if you have the box - sweet!).

I am also looking for a CIB 2600 Raiders of the Lost Ark (doesn't matter which label version and it doesn't need to be sealed) and a CIB E.T. phone home for the Atari 8 bit computers (also, doesn't need to be sealed). If you have an 8 bit E.T. cart for sale I also need the loose cart as well. Oh yeah - I'm also looking for a working pair of driving paddles.

Thanks very much.

Jon

Dang - not even a single byte yet.

I have a 810 disk drive. I was looking around the web to see what it might be worth when I came across your post. I'd just as soon sell it to a collector as anyone else. Didn't you find any on eBay to meet your need?

[jtoubeaux]

Yup, bought one from 19echo. Thanks anyway!

Can you give me an idea of what one in average condition might be worth?
I think the opinion of a collector would be better than what I could find elsewhere.

[jtoubeaux]

I think I paid $30 plus shipping - which included an SIO cable and the power supply, and it is in perfect working order.

Thanks. Not sure what I'm going to do with it. I found it in a drawer and don't remember where, why or how I got it. For some reason it was not with all the other computer junk I have. I was going to recycle it or give it to Goodwill (where it will probably just be tossed, and not even recycled), but then I got curious about its worth, not that I felt it would be valuable enough to make it worth my while to do anything about it. As it is I've been trying to pare down all the computer parts I have lying around, some of which at least have a slim chance of being useful at some point, so I certainly would have trouble keeping something that has absolutely no chance of being useful. Then again, being somewhat of a relic myself, I'd hate to just recycle it. Maybe I'll try Craig's List and see if there's some local collector who'd like to come over and pick it up.

MRCS, where are you located? And is your 810 still available? I just sold mine and am having thoughts of possibly getting another. Possibly.
