i found a forum post from 2008 where the seller (if its the same guy) claims to have 50 of them, so if they're selling three a year i'd be surprised

$79 is too much but I want to get another weird 80s home micro. I already have a ti-99/4a which I've been meaning to make an effortpost about one day i keep trying to get a Timex Sinclair because they're tiny and I don't need more large crap around my house

I already have a ti-99/4a which I've been meaning to make an effortpost about one day well when i messaged the guy at the warehouse to purchase, he said the price is actually $59 right now and whoever changes the website did it wrong. still, there is the $35 shipping on top i guess

you need to get all of the accessories and put them all on so it ends up being 14 feet long or whatever it is if you connect everything.

actually while I'm here if I want to stream these old things to twitch I imagine any random USB capture card that handles composite NTSC will probably keep up no sweat?
