Anyone have suggestions on best place to buy an Atari Big Blue Cap?

I know Bob Roberts sells them, but is there any other places, and preferably one that takes paypal?
 
If you have any thoughts on how hard or a pain it might be for Bob and the checks, trust me he is good to work with and the check thing has always gone great for and Ive ordered a lot from him over the years. Just so ya know, but you might be able to find other places maybe.

yah i know i dont order from bob due to the reason of send him the $$ waiting a week for him to get it, then him sending out the item, then me waiting another week to get it.,. 2 weeks later i have my part.. damn it sucks just waiting a few days to a week to fix a broken game.. no way im waiting 2weeks for nothing!
but bob does have the best deals and the most items in stock, if i needed something and couldnt find it i would have to buy from him...

Have you ever ordered from Bob? Maybe the first time he will wait for the check, but he is great about cross shipping. I don't think I have ever had an order from him take more than 3 days to arrive.

seriously, he is the fastest in all reality. Not to mention service, technical help, etc.

What??? Seriously? I can place an order tonight. Bob will confirm price and cross ship early tomorrow morning. I will have my part by Monday at the latest (in most scenarios) and if I send my check out asap he will get it the same day I get my items. Many times I get the items before he gets the check. I've ordered from many reputable sources but unless I pay extra to have something shipped next day or 2 day it never comes as quick as ordering from Bob. NEVER! Average wait from almost all vendors that take paypal and have easy to use online sites is 7-10 business days. Bob is 3-4 from when I receive confirmation from Bob which is usually the day I send the order. Next day at the latest.

GPE is a great place to order from as well! I have ordered many pinball parts from Ed, good guy.

I just placed my order with Bob Roberts this week, my first and by check.

Actually, Bob cross shipped my first order too... you just need to get past the quirkiness of sending a check in the paperless internet era

Yea, Bob cross-shipped my first order as well. Even if he doesn't, it should only take two or three days for your check to get to him, and he often ships priority back to you, so that's only another 3 for most places.

Yes Paypal is a little more convenient for the buyer, but Bob's reliable, and his prices are so reasonable that unless you really MUST get something done ASAP, I can't see the wait being a big deal.
 
I placed an order with arcadechips.com (Mark) for 2 big blues and some other stuff a week and a 1/2 ago. I used paypal and everything arrived about 5 days later.

My first (and all subsequent orders) were cross shipped by Bob, and I didn't even ask him. And yeah, shipping is quick.
 
Thanks everyone! i like Bob too and will continue to order from him, and it's good to know about great plains, too. i'll order from them too.

Thanks for being a helpful community.
 
I think Bob must know I am too fat and he is trying to help me out. I have ordered from him quite a few times over the years, and I have never received a moon pie. :)

Me neither, although I've gotten tools, pens, beads, candy, and even a gift for my wife...
