Hi folks,

Just wanted to let you know that I'm selling my Amigaone XE on eBay, if you're interested why not take a wee look at my auction:

Pro's: Nice piece of kit  :-)

Cons: £50 for postage?  Citylink Premium Next Day is only £13.99 + VAT  for UK mainland. :-o

I regularly send quite big boxes on Ebay using Parcelforce 48 - 10-15Kg. This sets me back £11 with £250 insurance. I can't imagine insuring up to £750 would cost much more.

Still, it's transparant - place bids taking into account the postage!

@A1Adam

Might I ask what the reserve is set?

[A1Adam]

The boxed weight is about 22 Kg. According to Parcelforce website this will cost £50.99 (with £1000 insurance).

Why £1000 insurance? The machine cost me more than that and you can't get them any more. Also means if something goes wrong with delivery neither the buyer or myself will loose out. You can avoid the delivery charge if you collect.

As for the reserve price, I'm sure you'll find it very reasonable

Happy eBaying.

Cheers,
Adam

Just for comparison the street value of an 800 MHz Mac tower is about £30...

I guess you will be outbidden then on this one.

[A1Adam]

Looks like you guys are keen, reserved price has been met. Currently going for the bargain price of £580.

It's a good price considering one semi-bright programmer who figures out uBoot and how to do it on a Mac will cause the value to crash..

It's against ebay rules to tell people the reserve price, but, also, it's stupid to do so. Not even brick and mortar auction places do that. I think the only difference is that ebay actually tells you that there is a reserve price at all. Which is odd, since I don't even bother bidding if there's a reserve price and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

I don't see anything wrong with telling people the reserve price, it's the minimum acceptable price, I have seen many auctions fail because the reserve price was not met, if the reserve price was known a lot of people might bid with more confidence.
Ebay don't want the reserve price revealed so the item can be relisted several times and they get more fees, they are  not acting in the sellers best interest, just their own.

Even I find this post in poor taste :roll:
