Atari Falcon found on ebay

I hope some active atarian gets this and not a collector.
I like watching the prices of falcons rise of ebay though, and feeling smug.

[Mega4PAK]

Blimey, it's gone up to £165 with just under 8 days left to run!

Place your bets on a crazy end price...

[wongck]

Yeap, same old crazy price bidding going on again.

[scoobeesnac]

Let me know if you have any questions. Its my Falcon.

Regards,
Matt

[Awol]

What do you guys think is a reasonable price for a Falcon?

[BoNuS]

What do you guys think is a reasonable price for a Falcon?

Depending how much you want it Going from 100 till 400 euro's I have seen.
Think that around 175 till 200 will be reasonable, so somewhere in te middle of the lowest and
highest. The one of 800 euro a few weeks ago was insane and price was staged.

[Mega4PAK]

There was some crazy bidding recently and managed to find the one that ended for $850

Not sure if a stock Falcon is "the Holy Grail of vintage Atari computing" as surely that would be the ATW?

If a collector wants one then the price seemingly has no limit.....

that desktop has a wierd colour scheme.... I guess trying to show the 16 colours on it.

[Shredder11]

Jesus!...I wonder what reserve price he has set! I think the £200 offer he received at the start was actually generous beyond belief, but then again he was wise to refuse it in the current Falcon Ebay climate. Great news for sellers and grave news for buyers I suppose.

[scoobeesnac]

I put it down to lack of supply of Falcons,they are pretty rare and the example here is in 'mint' condition

There are a huge number of ppl watching as well as page views, so the demand must be there, the reserve is not too far away.

For a piece of computing history I believe it's well worth it! I should also sell my Oric even the Computer museum in California didn't have one

Matt

[030falcon030]

Yea but if your gonna pay that much just cos its case is in mint condition more fool you (who knows what unseen problems the system beneath may or may not have).
It's not really a piece of computing history either, not yet anyway. I see it as more of an active hobbyist platform or a tool for creating or listening to music etc.
Nevertheless I hope the winner finds this forum and they will be welcomed enthusiastically to the falcon fold (if it's not their first falcon, in which case there probably already here).

[Shredder11]

Yep I second everything you have just said 030falcon030. My Falcons are a hobby for me too although I do have more serious music uses in mind for it; I have all the gear needed I think now. I think the Falcon will become historic in the not too distant future though.

[Shredder11]

Price has now reached £330.00 and get this.......the reserve price has been reduced and yet it still has not reached whatever that is!

[scoobeesnac]

@030falcon030: I agree it's not only about it being in 'mint' condition

Errrm....I could not fit everything into my 'signature space' on this forum; I have not even included my two Falcons or any of the hardware for those. Oh and I have not even included my new Hydra ethernet or HxC SD Floppy interface. Hmmm then there is the MIDEX+ I got recently, oh and............. OK I best stop before I go crazy or make everyone on here hate me!

[030falcon030]

I cant hate anyone on this forum for having too much, especially with this thread in my mine as I payed £0.00 for my falcon, monitor, cubase etc.
Cheers Atari ST Review Magazine!
Sucks to whoever wins this auction

[Chandler]

well if anyone is interested i have a boxed 14mb falcon with internal hard drive plus the 68882 co processor

£400 i'm asking which is probably a bargain if this 4mb model on ebay is anything to go by!

[wongck]

Errrm....I could not fit everything into my 'signature space' on this forum; I have not even included my two Falcons .....

You need a webpage for it?
Then just link to it in your sig.

[Shredder11]

Sucks to whoever wins this auction

In this case.......nobody won it!

So the reserve was anyones guess...

[BoNuS]

I didn't even see this:

Postage: £150.00 Other courier or delivery serviceSee more services

Is it gonna be wrapped in real gold or something ??? I'm glad nobody won, because 330 and 150 = 480 for a almost stock Falcon.
Men, I own gold at the moment

it's 25gbp UK mainland and default ROW,but TBC for individual countries as it varies for postage and insurance.

I have been on to ebay to have look at the Falcon. You know you could get a new A1200 and two QLs for that price!!!

Anyway I had a shock. There is a Sinclair Enterprise calculator going for over £176 with healthy bidding. It is a shock because mine is in just as good condition and a much better box. No its not for sale........
