Amazing Job-Lot on eBay!!
Amazing Job-Lot on eBay!!
I was just doing my daily check on eBay for a nice bargain and I found this :-
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ORIC-Atmos-Mi ... 233d537959
What a stunning collection!! I wish I was a rich eccentric who had a spare £1000 to spend on this collection of beauties. Just seeing all those commercial games on Microdisc was a joy, I didn't even know they existed!!
I have no idea if this lot is overpriced, however considering the condition of everything I will be surprised if nobody buys it.

Re: Amazing Job-Lot on eBay!!
Wow !
I wonder if there are not some home-made stickers for the disks. For instance, Schtroumps is labelled "Micro 7" which was a computer magazine in France. Could be worth searching if they were selling disks at the time.
A bit overpriced IMHO (at least 30% too high by my standards).

Oh man that is probably the most amazing Oric setup I've ever seen. Darn, I wish I were rich enough to just buy it now - it'd be a dream come true to finally have all that stuff together - a real collectors item.
I hope it goes to someone who uses it and doesn't just get it for the collector value.

Incredible collection, but completely overpriced. Unfortunately, this is becoming a common prentice with classic computers.
Re: Amazing Job-Lot on eBay!!
I'm particularly impressed by the quality of the floppies inlays and stickers

Yeah, to me this is like a mythical beast unveiled .. if the Oric had this level of quality peripheral support 'back in the day' it may have stood a better chance. But I think this is the result of a careful curation by the owner, and not a reflection of the reality of the industry at the time. Does anyone else have such a quality rig?

Re: Amazing Job-Lot on eBay!!
I know the vendor, I bought a serial cable for Apple IIc from him.
He also has an Apple IIgs with a similar price for quite a long time.
I suppose he keeps them just in case an eccentric comes by...
Impressive collection indeed.
Edit : I just checked and the IIgs price dropped from about 1000 pounds to 550 pounds or something. Maybe we just need to wait

Apart for the modem that is not common, it's juste overly priced...

Re: Amazing Job-Lot on eBay!!
Seems like it'd be the perfect system to use as a port of ContikiOS. Maybe we can arrange a group buy among us?
