128.0. "ATARI near Highfield ?" by BRSDVP::GEBOERS (Grin and ignore it.) Fri Jun 17 1988 12:11

     Hi,

    Can anyone put here some pointers to ATARI-shops or dealers in the
    neighbourhood of Highfield , Reading or Basingstoke ? I will be there on a
    course next weekand since there is a lot more cheap SW in the UK then over
    here ...

    Thanks for any answers,

128.1Reading ShopsDORIS::JAMESHoward James/PSG Tech Support/Queens HouseFri Jun 17 1988 13:345
    There's a shop in the Harris Arcade in Frier Street Reading that
    sells software. Also in Oxford Road there is "Computercare" that
    sells hardware and software. That on is a long walk to get to though.
    Hope this helps. Call me on 7899 5564 if you need further info.

    Upstairs in the HMV shop in Friar Street they also have a reasonable
    selection of ST software.

128.3CHEAP CHEAPRDGENG::KEANESat Jun 18 1988 15:5218
    Hello,
    
    Re .0
                                                    
    		There are not any CHEAP software shops in Berkshire
    or Hampshire !!!!!!!, All the shops mentioned retail their goods
    at the FULL sales price. THere are dozens of Mail order outlets
    that will discount 30% at least,                
                                                    
    Get an UK ST MAG and ring around for a quote|!!!
      
    p.s. The guy in the Oxford road in Reading tried to ask me �19-50
    for 10 unbranded DS/DD disks last week. The usual rate for unbranded
    is only �10  mail order. I can get real Sony's for �17-50, by post.
    
    Cheers

128.5Shopping while on training needs planning .PILOU::ANDERSENRelocating my way home ?Mon Jun 20 1988 08:5232
    The question was asked a while ago in the ATARIST_old, for the same
    reasons I think. (It was in note 526.*) 
    
    This is just an extract, you have to refer to the old file
    MAY14::atarist_old, for the rest. A summary is = Go to Tottenham
    court road in central London, or get it by mail order.

Note 526.1              Atari Store in London, England ?                  1 of 8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I bought my GAUNTLET from Tottenham Court Road.  There are quite
    a many shops selling Atari stuff.  The farther you go off from
    Oxford Street the lower prices you get!  I paid some 22 pounds for
    a copy and it`s worth every penny and more!  Selfridges sells Atari
    games also, but the prices are not discounted.  One very good dedicated
    Atari shop on Tottenham Court Road is Silica Shop, but they don`t
    discount either (on the first or second floor depending on how you
    count ;-).  You should find also 1st Word Plus from those shops.
    
    I bought also a second disc drive (made by Eidersoft/Triangle) from
    Micro Anvika for 130 pounds.  The only thing to do was to change
    the wallplug.  And I got the VAT off!
    
    Happy shopping,
    
    Petteri
