OT: Looking for: ST Cubase/Notator dongle, 800xl in box, Space Quest 3 in box
by Ethan O'Toole 02 May '19

02 May '19

As I put together the items I plan to put in the consignment area and hump to get the System V unix stable on the TT030 for UNIX town .... Some time ago I talked to someone on here about Atari ST notator dongle or Cubase dongle, and 800XL in box. But searching subject lines in my huge inbox isn't hitting anything. If that person still has and is heading to VCF, hit me up! I am also looking for Space Quest 3 and Monkey Island in box. Not new in box. If anyone has, there the only two software titles I care about and it's mostly because I always liked the theme music. Any platform, it doesn't matter I have all the platforms and a MT-32 ;-)

Model II
by Peter Cetinski 02 May '19

02 May '19

I rescued a TRS-80 Model II in NYC a couple of years ago for someone on this list but I can’t recall who it was! If you’re still around let me know and I can bring it to VCFE. It’s been sitting on my shelf. I’ll be there Sunday morning attending the show and delivering and picking up other Model IIs and 16s for other folks. Pete

The 8bit is the Atari computer glory days. The ST was cool looking but Amiga was better. > Date: Wed, 1 May 2019 12:34:35 -0400 > From: Peter Fletcher via vcf-midatlantic <vcf-midatlantic(a)lists.vcfed.org> > To: vcf-midatlantic <vcf-midatlantic(a)lists.vcfed.org> > Cc: Peter Fletcher <pfletch(a)mac.com> > Subject: Re: [vcf-midatlantic] VCF Exhibit map... > [NON-Text Body part not included]

Are they going to have to segregate the 8-bits and the STs? On Wed, May 1, 2019, 12:19 PM Tony Bogan via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic(a)lists.vcfed.org> wrote: > Atari Exhibit?

VCF East Consignment Room Selling
by Jim Scheef 30 Apr '19

30 Apr '19

Do you have stuff to sell in the Consignment Room? Now is the time to get organized. 1. Download the forms: http://vcfed.org/consignment/Consignment%20Sale%20Sheet.pdf All of the forms are in one PDF. Use Acrobat to separate them and make copies as needed. 2. All of the forms are fillable using Adobe Acrobat and probably other PDF programs. Filling the forms online makes them easier to read, reduces errors and speeds up check-in. After your forms are completed, print two copies, so you have a record. 3. Guidelines (newly revised) for using these forms are here: http://vcfed.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/east2019consignment.pdf 4. Make signs for your stuff. You won’t be around to answer questions, so: What is it? Does it work? What are the specs? The price on the sign must agree with the price on the listing form; if not the price on the form wins. 5. Pricing: VCF has a reputation for fair prices. That’s why lots of stuff sells. 6. You can lower your price on Sunday morning and again late Sunday afternoon. 7. If you negotiate a deal with a buyer, both buyer and seller must come to the Consignment desk together. Let me know what you agreed; VCF will collect the money in the normal manner. 8. Remember every item MUST have your Consignor Tag Identification (letter code) and the line number from your "Individual Item Sales Sheet". Apply a piece of painter's tape to each item at home leaving room for your Consignor Tag Identification. Free advice: • Do you find eBay prices are frequently too high? Price accordingly. • Good signs bring good sales. Jim Scheef Consignment Room Deity

Funny story

But in fact, when I was at the Dayton Hamfest one year in the 1990's, an airplane flew over the event and dropped flyers - with real $1 bills attached! I saw the airplane, saw the drop, grabbed a few flyers; so there's no doubt. Of course, people forget that "catching eyeballs" is a source of income on the Web. Google reported billions of dollars just today, income from selling ads and Web-search placements. So: money gets spent on advertizing; and location matters. Herb -- Herbert R.
