WOW!  I thought I was seeing things when I first read this message.  $175 for
the Atari 800 used, when I can get the same thing from a dealer for $40?? I
think you should look at the market prices before you come up with your selling
price next time.  But, hey, if you can get someone to pay that- more power to
you.

You HAVE to be kidding!  Old 800's go for $35, $45 TOPS!  I paid 
$40 for my 48k machine with GTIA chip.

Now that isn't a bad price.

You can buy one brand new for $20 more.

No, you'll be DAMN lucky to get $350.00 for the complete system.

At that price, it had better be in VERY good condition!

>Buyer must pay shipping/handling charges

Uh, yeah, sure.

Hey man, for $350.00, you're just ASKING for put-downs.  Nothing
personal.
