Title: For Sale: Bodega Bay System
Post by: Miked on July 29, 2011, 09:25:06 PM
I am entertaining offers for my Bodega Bay system for the Amiga 500.  It has 4 Zorro Slots and room for 2 drives.  I am also including a 2088XT Bridgeboard with 5 1/4 drive already installed.  I have the necessary software on a 5 1/4 floppy also included.  

I loved the Bodega Bay but I have to make room in my small apt.

PM me with offers.

Thanks,

Miked

I remember seeing this on Amiga magazines, but, BODEGA sounds like "BUDEGA", which in Portuguese is a slang for "something with no value at all".

I used to have one of these on my A500 back in the day. They are actually very nice. Take a look at mine in the A500 Gallery.

Bodega Bay is  a community/harbor bay north of San Francisco/San Jose.
"Bodega" is probably Spanish, maybe a name
Kinda goes along with California Access

I always wanted one of these for my A500, that was until I got my first A3000.

Sah-WEET!  Always wanted one of those setups for my 500.  Then got an A1200 and was a little disappointed something like that didn't appear for it.  'course I was fresh out of Amiga HW by the time PCI boards (the rough equivalent) started appearing.

I'd say a saloon or pub (re old western movies).

According to the photos at the above link, yes, it is 220V compatible and the power output is listed right there on the label of the power supply.

OK, lets nitpick further:
-a small Hispanic shop selling wine and groceries
-a warehouse for the storage of wine.
-public house

Bodega is a spanish word and it has other meaning and very interesting and important because Bodega is the place where are making the wines or selling, currently in Spain the Bodegas are the place where the wines have their making proccess.  But in Portugal you are different the opposite to Spain.

Well BUDEGA is a Brazilian Portuguese slang.
Just checked the dictionary:
BODEGA in Brazilian Portuguese means:

"
s.f. Taberna em más condições de higiene.
Comida rude e mal feita.
Bras. Pequeno armazém.
Gír. Coisa sem préstimo "

;)

Quick and dirty via Google:
Tavern in poor hygienic conditions.
 Food rude and sloppy.
 Bras. Small warehouse.
 Gir. Something worthless

Badly prepared food
Little market
slang: Something Useless

But you don't forget that much words in spanish and portuguese have the same base, when Spain and Portugal were a only country also we have much exchange the words, the only that there as here we can change the meaning, sometime more beaty other more ugly, this case also happen with spanish word in Latinoamerica and here, we change the meaning and they.

It did, to me, but he NEVER shipped it!

To my way of thinking, this makes MikeD a THIEF!!!!

Moderators, go ahead and edit if you like, but it won't change the truth.

Wow that's a shocker. Harms the Amiga community that's for sure. Not sure why a mod would edit it.

Is he from the US as well?

Wow thats too bad Curtis, how long ago did you pay him? People get busy, maybe he got side tracked. I know I've sold a couple things and it took me a week or two to get around to shipping it up and shipping it out. People were not happy but work and family stuff comes first...  Hope it works out for you.

It' been well over a year ago.

I tried phone calls and got nowhere.  People said they'd never heard of him.

Return receipt mail came back unsigned.

Thought about filing charges but with no valid way to track him down I had to chalk it down to lesson learned.

Guy is a total douche.

If he ever dares to show back up here I recommend he be banned for life.

Not true, "Bodega" means warehouse. But in this case Bodega is a name of place in Northern California, which gives name to this accessory.

Sorry to hear that Curtis! Sales and dealings with people here are getting stranger and stranger. Have a couple of outstanding offers to purchase at asking prices, never to be heard from again. Different than your scenario where you actually paid, but still. Flakiness abounds!
