I know the company and they are a very reasonable bunch. I personally think the website could be better arranged for frequent visitors/buyers (I hate thumbing through page after page)

They are very reputable. Check 'em out!

Instead of start a new thread I thought it would be better to use this one, it already talks about a store.

I found them just wandering around looking for vintage computers. The prices are very competive as listed, but I have no idea what their cost of shipping is though.

Wow, you can get all 3 of the main IC's for the atari 2600 for only $11! And the complete systems are cheap too!

Well, I just ordered all of the atari ICs. It only cost $12.50 after shipping, and I paid with paypal. I have to say, buying them for that price is well worth it. Have you ever tried to desolder those chips? They are almost imposible to desolder.

Did they tell you what method they were sending it, UPS, USPS, FedEx or some other means and how long it would take?

Desolder? My atari ICs had sockets...

Yeah, my atari was made later around 1982, so they're soldered in

I had them shipped by 1st class mail, so they shouldn't take too long.

Ooohhh.... I didnt know that.... (Obviously!)

Well, I ordered the atari ICs earlier this week, and shipping only took 3 days. They were well packed and stuck onto styrofoam so the pins wouldn't get bent.

Wow sounds like we might have hit the jackpot on a place to order systems from, from now on.
