Re: A few Atari Items For Sale


I have 3 VideoMaster Falcons with Splitters.
And 1 ST/STE/Falcon version.
ALso have
Vidi ST with RGB Splitter and Vidi ST-12.
2 Expose Digitisers
3 Genlocks
and some other misc video stuff.

I was just trying to offer one of the extra VMF carts at what I though
it
was worth. Thats all.
No one has to buy, I'm not twisting anyone's arm.
And I really don't care if I sell it or not as I use them.

If I were out to make money, I'd be selling something other than Atari
stuff.

And I do think it would sell at a good price on Ebay. Because, I have
never seen
one on there. And most good stuff goes for a high price.

And if someone did pay my asking price, it's there business and mine.
Calling folks suckers in someone else's thread isn't right.

And really it's nobody else's business.

What was done here, is no different than going into someone's place
of business and telling the customers in there that they are suckers
if they pay that price for a certain item.

There are laws against that sort of thing. Maybe not on the Net.

I just don't get it, why try to devalue my stuff. If you don't like it
thats fine, But I don't think you have the right to come in my thread
and call someone a sucker if they buy a item from me.

I have never done that to anyone advertising an Atari product on here.

But it seems everytime I list something on here, someone from overseas
has something nasty to say about it. Fine, It goes both ways.

I can be a Big *** when pushed to far.
