Gentlemen,
It appears some assistance is in order.
I guess folks just don't understand why Falcons are so expensive.
Allow me to explain.
Statement in fact...
It just so happens, that the Bell+Howell
company, produced several models of their
gigantic mail sorting machines using
Falcons as the central brain unit. People
don't even realize that a significant
percentage of the mail in California gets
to where it is going because of Atari
Falcons... :)
Statement in fact..
The company has an open ended gentleman's
agreement with all the remaining Atari
retailers that lays a bounty of up to $1500
per serviceable unit and as many as they
can get their hands on,,, period.
They are being stripped down and the
circuit boards are shipping as "spares" for
the mail sorting machines.
THIS is why reason Falcons are so expensive.
Simple supply and demand and it also means,
(unfortunately for the common folk),
that the Falcons ARE worth $1000+ now.
AT THIS STAGE IN THE GAME.
This is why retailers like "myatari.com"
always bid for them on EBay, they are just
reselling them to Bell+Howell.
Its the fools selling them for dirt on eBay
that are giving you the illusion that they
are worth less.
Bell+Howell will not stop consuming the
Falcons until their contractual service
agreements to support these units expire!
Which wont be for decades.
