2) Threshold CIB - $27.88 - eBay Auction -- Item Number: 170791893525 - sometimes the bidding goes nuts on this Tigervision title, but this seems a lot more reasonable

3) Tac-Scan CIB, includes all the stickers and everything in great shape - $15.50 - eBay Auction -- Item Number: 220978385572 - a nice little score!

4) Mystique Burning Desire PAL CIB (lock?) - $150AU - eBay Auction -- Item Number: 110843639189

5) Atari Ashtray - unsold at $34.99 - eBay Auction -- Item Number: 230764087639 - typically these goes for about 20 bucks

What is up with Auction Central?

Wed May 23, 2012 5:51 PM

I was trying to start a new topic this morning, and when I went to post it the screen gave a hiccup and went completely white.

I can post new topics in all the other forums, and reply to ones in Auction Central, but clicking the Start New Topic button does nothing.

Normally I use Firefox, but I tried logging in via Chrome and IE as well (all most recent versions). I dumped every browser cache. I even totally turned my computer off and did a cold reboot (using 64-bit Win7 here), but nothing.

On top of that, it appears like Auction Central is no longer being updated as a forum according to my browsers.

The 500 Club, Atari 2600 style

Sat Apr 28, 2012 12:55 PM

This acquisition took me to 500 Atari carts, and considering my collection only has 4 PAL titles (and I don't collect label variations), I figure I'm doing pretty well!

And speaking of PAL, that Mangia is NTSC. :)

And this recent one took me to 450 unique CIB NTSC games (which means no PAL, but I also filter out Zellers, Dactar, or Telegames dupes from the overall count).

Many thanks to several AAers who helped me with my collecting.

FS: A2600 Activision Patches - Freeway, Kaboom, & Laser Blast

Sat Apr 28, 2012 12:41 PM

These were never worn, but displayed (judging by a thumbtack hole in each and the fading/schmutz), so the quality is not NOS like the ones sold on eBay, so these are being offered for 50% off eBay prices. Prices include shipping (which will be in a regular envelope). PM me to buy one, some, or all.

Freeway - $5
Kaboom - $5
Laser Blast - $2

FS: my former WinXP system - $100

Wed Apr 11, 2012 8:38 AM

Up for sale I have my old WinXP system that I built in 2003. It has been a great workhorse and has had several upgrades over the years. System highlights include:

Intel Pentium 4 2.4GHz CPU
1GB RAM
Radeon 9100 video card
Creative SB Live! audio card
16X DVD-RW drive
Sony DVD-ROM drive

And please see the attached PDF file for complete system specs. Attached File  old system specs.pdf   210.06K   15 downloads

Currently the system has no HDs, but I can throw in an 80GB WD Caviar drive (no OS installed).

I'm asking $100 for everything (the system, plus installation disks, breakout box for audio card, etc.) not including shipping. The system weighs 30 lbs., so I'm willing to work with a buyer on shipping costs.

Oh yeah, in the pictures, you can see an Atari badge on the front of the case. This was made by an AA user back around 2003, so it's not an official Atari computer, but it has a lot of Atari love.

Please PM if you are interested in buying or would like more details.
