Where best to find someone interested in Atari hardware and books?

[Tom-the-I.T.-guy]

Hi -

I just found this forum last night; perhaps someone can be of some help. I have an Atari 800, which I don't want to throw away, but I don't need to make any money on. I'm looking for someone interested in using it, and I'll give it away if they pay for shipping.

I also have a lot of original Atari literature; about 30 issues of Antic, De Re Atari, and the Assembler user guide. Same story - I'll give these away if somebody pays shipping.

thanks in advance for any suggestions on what to do with this stuff.

I'd be interested, but I'm betting you're not in Melbourne, Australia, LOL!

Hi,

I am interested in the Atari system and Documents.
Where are you located at?

Well this would have been a lot easier if only ONE person showed interest, but with several public posts and private messages, I don't know how I should determine who to give it to.

First, I guess I should have filled out a profile, because several asked about where I'm located. I'm in St. Louis, MO, ZIP code 63103. Sorry that I left that out. I don't know the exact shipping costs to anywhere because I don't have it packed up for delivery.

So I thought it might help to be more specific about the Atari stuff I have, in case it would help clarify your interests.

Hardware:
Atari 800; 10K ROM module; 16K RAM module; BASIC left cartridge; Assembler Left Cartridge; Tape drive Model 410. Does the computer work? I think so - but I no longer have the video modulator to connect to my TV. It powers up when I turn it on.

Books: (softcover)
Original User Manual; "De Re Atari"; "Assembler Editor" User Manual; "The Atari Assembler"; "Atari BASIC"; "COMPUTE!'S First Book of Atari"; also the Second book and the Third book; "Mapping the Atari"; and "Atari Games & Recreations".

Antic Magazines:
Aug 82; Oct/Nov 82; Dec/Jan 83; Apr 83; Jun 83; Jul 83; Aug 83; Sep 83; Nov 83; Dec 83; Jan 84; Jun 84; Jul 84 (Sorry, thought I had more...)

COMPUTE! Magazines:
Jan 83; Jan 84; Mar 84; Apr 84; May 84; Jun 84; Jul 84; (I bought these because they had articles about Atari)

The literature weighs the most and will cost the most to ship anywhere. Would anyone pay $1 for all this stuff if I put it on ebay? I could do a "Buy It Now" auction so that first one there gets it.

And lastly, to the moderators, I apologize if this isn't the right forum for this kind of discussion.

thanks
Tom P.

Sadly, I think I am already too late for this! :sad:

[Tom-the-I.T.-guy]

I would like to add that I happily sent my Atari 800 hardware to "JellE", the recent poster to this thread. The instructional books all sold on ebay within 24hours , and the magazines are currently up for auction and end on December 3rd. Whatever doesn't sell will be sent to JellE...

thanks very much for the opportunity to post here - it's okay to remove or archive this thread at any time.
