A problem for the seller, not so much the buyer, I've won a number of
things for that (including a 1040STFM believe it or not!, postage was
?6 or so but still, not a bad deal), eBay is very good for acquiring
old machines cheaply

Problem is you get the occasional seller who will go to great lengths
not to send what you paid for when that happens and they really
shouldn't, the contract works both ways, heh

Currently hunting for an original Atari 400 and 800 (IE: not XL and
with at the minimum the basic cartridge) if anyone is selling one or
both
