I was trying to get people helped over at Amibay.com but the mods think I was silent bidding. Let me make this clear before I even start here. I am only a cataloger. I do get paid for my work HOWEVER I do not set prices or even list the items. I can get items listed faster but the all will be on EBAY.com and will have the prices set by the shop owner. There all BUY NOW. Requests will be processed in the order they are recieved on here.
I'm starting from scratch since the AMIBAY.com people somehow think I was cheating.

Trouble at Amibay already? I never would have seen that coming. LOL

Ugh, I feel dizzy looking at that...

Amibay is such trash.

Did you post this on Lemon Amiga and Lemon 64?
Frack! I can't view AmiBay unless I register? Seriously???
Does he have an A3000 Keyboard?
Also, looking for an A1200 Floppy Drive.

Well I just spent the last 12 hours in the warehouse testing equipment and peicing togather systems. We will have (2 A500's) (1 A3000) !!!BRAND NEW CD32 with SX1 and FMV!!! 15 C64's with Drives and UNOPENED SOFTWARE!!! Plus alot more I am so tired I can't even remember all the stuff. I still have to catalog it all but I should get to it monday or tuesday then I drop it at the ebay seller. The lots should start appering monday or tuesday. Thanks to all who listen and if you know a scene that needs Amigoodies. Please post a link to this forum as I'm using it a a place to answer questions and try to get things listed faster that people want. This is a HUGE warehouse and I think I walked 10 miles today finding PSU's Drives Disks and testing all the stuff. I don't know alot about 3000's so It had sysinfo on it so I took some pics of that. I know it comes w/2 CD drives tested one of them the other I can't because I didn't have the CD cartrage it needs to use it. I will post video of the books and some of the software availible so if theres something some one wants let me know I'll get it cataloged next saturday. It seems like we will be doing this every saturday till the end of time. :D But its fund seeing this C64s and Amigas powerup.
Thanks to all the people that take the time to read my rants as well as taking intrest in the goodies.

I'm getting alot of PMgs from people making requests. Please make the Requests for thing in the Forum here so I can use this as a list of things to look for while I'm there. I bring my laptop and go back through the forum looking for what people want post by post to try to be as First come First serve as I can. If you have a question that dosn't pertain to finding an item for you feel free to PM but if you want me to find you something please post as it really helps to keep track of times people ask.

Thank gawd for that, I thought it was just me doing something wrong... :)
Bloody stupid, an auction site where you can't see the auctions... :confused:

Bloody stupid, an auction site where you can't see the auctions... :confused:
The head of the site contacted me today (ON HERE) and let me know things were handled a little wrong with this situation. I was invited back there. I didn't inform him that I already moved here and Wasn't going to start over again there. 1 move 2 starts is enough for me. I did ask him to post a link to here for all his Amigians to get there fixxes. I don't have access to post there right now. Hope he decides to help those people get there Amigoodies.
So it turns out there not as bad after all. I hope in the future there Mods will take more care to not just jump the gun on things like this. The community has always had trouble with people being so harsh to eachother. I not one to just say can't we all get along but we can at least be civil.

Expressing interest in that CD32 package if the price is right. Lay it on me Claw... how low can he go? :lol:
...btw: what's up with that I/O blix serial port card at $210?? Methinks there's an extra digit in there. Take your pick: either the '2', the '1' or the '0'. lmao

@Claw2200,
I don't see any new items added to the eBay auctions/buy-it-now sales for this seller today than there was from several days ago. Is the shop owner taking this stuff to an eBay re-seller to have the auctions/buy-it-now sales set up on eBay? When do you expect more sales/auctions to be shown on eBay for these Amiga & Commodore items?
Also, can you encourage the shop owner to change from "Buy-it-Now" only sales to Buy-it-Now with the option of making an offer too on all of this Amiga & Commodore items. His pricing is very high and he might end up with many auctions/sales that go to the end with no bids or sales, but if he adds the option of getting offers, he will get an idea of what the current realistic prices for these items really are.
I am looking forward to seeing the auctions/sales for his Amiga books, but not if his prices are going to be so outrageous. If he really needs to sell some of this stuff to avoid moving it again to another location, he had better set the prices at more reasonable levels. Or did I misunderstand the reason for this liquidation and he is not moving to another location? When is this move supposed to be happening? With that much stuff to put up on eBay, it could take a year or more to sort it all and put it up for sale/auction.

I still have to catalog the items. I spent 12 hours just peicing togather systems. Was the whole of my saturday. I will be Cataloging them tomorrow and then droping them off at the seller. He should have stuff up tomorrow or tuesday.
I did ask the owner about this option and he said we can lower prices later in the buyit now with out having to pay to relist. BELIEVE ME I TRIED! lol. Somthings he will not sell untill he gets the price he wants. He plans on keeping somethings.
We are projecting a year or more for the entire listing to happen. We have a deal with the seller to store things there untill either sold or returned to Raymond. If returned he will be in his new location. The store is not closeing just liquidating ALOT of his stuff.

I don't have control over the pricing and I know the one I found and am listing is NEW In a box with an SX-1 and FMV. The total package will be $400
However I did see a few more boxes of CD32's and I know the used ones will sell around $70. These are all prices set by raymond. The CD32's I know he likes and most likey won't budge on price. Pretty sure he'll keepem first.
-
is Raymond the guy in the video who talks of throwing it all away?
-
Thanks for the reply and answers. Is the store still open for people to show up and buy things in person from Raymond (or was it ever open to walk-in traffic)?
It is too far for me to travel there and make it worth the travel expenses, but there might be others that are a lot closer that would like to visit that treasure house of Amiga & Commodore gear, software & books.
Just for reference, I bought a brand new CD32 on eBay about 18 to 24 months ago for $49.00 plus shipping. That estimated price of $400 is ridiculous! How does he expect to sell anything at those prices? There seems to be no use in getting my hopes up that I will find anything worth buying from his eBay sales, if he is going to price everything like that, and the other eBay sales he already has listed. He must be giving the eBay seller too much commission for handling the sales for him.
Too bad, I was hoping to fill in a few holes in my Amiga book collection and possibly find a few software titles that I would like to have.

Do yourselves a favour
AVOID AMIBAY LIKE THE PLAGUE
they are NOT real amigans. THey are controlling freaks how love to dictate to you what you do with your amiga gear. Its amazing. I had some of their people spying on me and Stalking me online. Never in all my Amiga years have i seen amiga ppl treat amiga people this way.

@Claw22000
If there are any A1000 keyboards, and shipping overseas is possible, I'd be interested. Even non-functional ones could be useful, I have one myself that needs a few spare parts (key switches).

The new ones from China were always just over $100 with shipping, but they didn't include an SX-1 ($100-$200?) or an FMV module ($250+?) I think $400 is fair.
$70 or so for a used CD32 is also quite fair, especially considering new ones don't seem to be available anymore.
-
is Raymond the guy in the video who talks of throwing it all away?
In the video hes talking about throwing away the software. What you see there is BOXes and boxes of UNOPENED C64 software. He has cases left over from when he ran his retail location. Thats why were packageing it with the C64s.

Walkins are welcome still send a PM and we can work out a time. It is a warehouse and we all have other jobs/families to deal with as well so Its by appointment only. Saturdays works best.
Not all his pricing is ridiculous. Some is like I stated before I don't have control over it. If your not interested in an item because of its price wait and see if it drops. Thats all I really can suggest. As for the commision I don't have any of that information but you can always request that from the seller on ebay.
I do know the books and sofware isn't something hes looking to make alot of money one except for a FEW Items that are very rare from what I understand. Books are going to be sold fairly cheap and I do know he wishs to keep 1 copy of each one for his own collection. He calls those shop copies. And from what I'm aware of there not shown in the video.

I did ahve a fairly bad experence with 1 of their mod. However the head of the forums seems like he was more interested in helping the Amigoodies get to good homes. I will choose not to judge the whole site baised on the actions of a few bad patrions. Don't worry this forum is the home for all these goodies and questions and I'm sure if Amiga.org didn't want me serveing you I would have been asked to stop already. I've always like Amiga.org the best with VERY Close second choice EAB.
Thanks for the support its nice to see I'm not a singled out instance.

I'm glade you mentioned that. The majority of Amigas are 1000's. I did talk to Raymond on saturday about overseas dealings. He said if we get cash upfront for item and shipping that we would have to work these deals "NOT" on ebay. He had some problems with this in the past and dosn't want to have a reaccurance. If your still interested let me know asap as we are starting an Off Ebay request sheet for people that are looking to get things overseas. If you see something you want on ebay let us know and we might have more.
thanks

You have my attention too. I noticed a quick shot of cartridge that looked like C-64 type. Got any Final Cartridge III's hiding in there?
I would also be interested in a GVP A500 II hard drive for my old A1000. I don't car if there's any drive in it, or RAM (I can supply that).

Those Final Cartridge IIIs are forever on eBay most of the time they go for around the 20 quid mark including postage... :)

Remember I am in North America, so I get a different flavor of eBay. I would pay the UK price without flinching, but when you add in the shipping they usually want - it's just too much.
I too, have had trouble with Amibay. I couldn't log in, then someone helped me (greatly appreciated) from the site - but now it no longer works. Oh well....

Any chance you would be able to post a list of your cataloged items here for us to look at before the items went to the eBay reseller, so we could make offers on them directly to Raymond and save him the trouble and extra expense of using the eBay re-seller?

If I lived closer, I would definitely take the time to make an appointment to walk through that warehouse and dig for treasure. If anyone else lives close enough to do so, please contact me so I can give you a list of what to look for, for me. I am mostly interested in programming books and software.

Thank you for the quick response! There is more I would like to have, but money is really short right now (never fails, right?)

If your overseas and want an item I can see about avoiding ebay. There is so much stuff to go through I just catalog it and then drop it off right away so I would n't be able to list it sooner than the ebay seller. I will try to find things people are looking for and avoid ebay if there overseas.
sorry we don't have a better approach to the overseas thing. I was barely able to talk him in to the idea. It was that I pointed out he has a few systems that are made for overseas power that made him change his mind.
I will talk with him more on saturday when I see him and see if we can hash out a more sound plan but I have to go with things as they are for now as I don't have control over any decisions Raymond wants.
-

Man do I hear you there. EVERY TIME! I always see something I REALLY want when I'm broke and its DIRT Cheap and I still can't do it!
:D

$50 C64's and 1541's?
Last 1541 he sold went for $10 and that's exactly what they're worth. WTF is going on here? Guy doesn't seem to me like he really wants to sell much of anything. Have him hold on to this stuff for another 40 years. By then, *maybe*, just maybe some of this stuff will be worth as much. Probably not though. :lol:
Broken C64's for more than working runs usually go for? My God man... lol
$200 A500?
The price on that A3000 is respectable however. $250 seems pretty fair for an awesome boxed example, albeit really high for a starting price. Last A4000 sold that had its capacitors fixed went for $250 here.
G.L.L.B.! (good luck little buddy!)
-
When things don't sell then maybe I can convince him to lower I did talk to him on the phone about the A500 and he let me pick on up with out the extra Add ons and well sell that one cheaper. Should be listed shortly.

Claw,
i am looking for a CMD harddrive for the c64 and possibly a ramlink. any there??

save 2600
I dont know where you get your pricing from but you are off on most of it imho. With rare hardware like amiga it can go sky high. Depends what people are willing to play and what it is, not some guidline set by a couple of people on a forum.

Typical Magnetic comment always trying to drive the price up we all know you love buying low and selling high. Amiga are not that rare unless you have some super hard to find hardware.
When it come to prices i would not listen to what magnetic says that one of the reason he got barred from amibay... and don't say their nazi and suck we all know if you could you be be there in a heart beat getting cheap hardware and flogging it off at double, triple the money.

@Claw2200,
Also, can you encourage the shop owner to change from "Buy-it-Now" only sales to Buy-it-Now with the option of making an offer too on all of this Amiga & Commodore items. His pricing is very high and he might end up with many auctions/sales that go to the end with no bids or sales, but if he adds the option of getting offers, he will get an idea of what the current realistic prices for these items really are.
I am looking forward to seeing the auctions/sales for his Amiga books, but not if his prices are going to be so outrageous. If he really needs to sell some of this stuff to avoid moving it again to another location, he had better set the prices at more reasonable levels.
Firstly, I'm sure we all appreciate the chance to pick up some nice old pieces of kit. Thanks for that. However, I have to concur with Amigafave - the prices are high. Now I know things are "rare" but I think those Matay PCI boards were sold for $175 new from the remaining stock. I remember a post from Redrum... a ways back about them.
Being allowed to make offers might give the owner a chance to sell more of his stuff and recoup some of the investments.

is Raymond the guy in the video who talks of throwing it all away?
That was my thought... I'll throw it all away if I have you. Then Claw tells him naw, people buy all this stuff you won't need to throw any away.
However, if he keeps his prices to high - he'll end up keeping it.

Started working and your the first customer of the day. Well Raymond says he only has enought to sell them with the systems. And might be short. So At this time I can't say if we get through the 1000's and have one at the end I will keep on the top of the list to recieve it.

Found what your looking for seeing if I can find the power connector and get it ready finding out if we have the stuff to test it for you.

I have done alot of searching today, Just spent the last 3 hours looking and can't seem to find alot of stuff so I will put it aside save it for you and let it build as I go through other stuff if your still interested when I have built the order for you then well work a deal then.

Ok...Sounds good.
Please let me know what stuff you come across so I don't have to look elsewhere. I know the cables are very easy to get, and the power supply can be found on ebay no problem, but I'd rather try to get everything from one place so I don't have to pay for multiple shipments out of the US.

Thanks for checking on them. I'll give it some time and see if they come down. Did he replace the capacitors on his ? Those models usually show up on ebay for $40-$50 and there's no telling what shape the guts are in for old hardware.

I am looking for the following:
PET cassette tapes
PET Manuals
VIC 20 two prong power supply
3k and 16k expansion cartridges for VIC 20
VIC 20 composite video/audio cable
1541 drive cable for VIC 20 or C64
I live in Japan, so I'd like to avoid ebay as per your previous post
I talked to Raymond today and he said he has the power supply and I beliieve he said an 8k expansion cart. We have a ton of the drive cables and are working on the rest still. Just thought I would give you an update.

So on the 19th I recieved this letter from amibay's AndyLandy
__________________________________________________________________
Hiya Claw,
First up, I'm sorry about the way things have been handled at Amibay. There are certainly a few things that need to be discussed to how we'd handle this over there, but I guess things could have been handled better.
Anyways, I just wanted to say that if you are still interested in promoting this stuff on Amibay, we'd like to help, we just need to find a way that's mutually acceptable.
Essentially, Amibay is a sales portal in its own right, not just a forum, and we're keen to see sales handled 'by the book' as that's how we provide peace of mind to our members. I hope you understand where we're coming from.
I certainly appreciate what you're trying to do here, it's really great that you're thinking of the community here and I'd like to see us help you in that quest.
If not, I wouldn't blame you, things have been handled rather shabbily, but we are here to help if you'd like to try again.
Best wishes and good luck with the sales, whatever you decide to do.
AndyLandy, Amibay Dev and Administrator.

Went there a day or two after still didn't have access sent him a message asking for permission to get back on there. and now it says I'm Banned with the time to be lifted set to Never.
I really can't believe this. I would just like to get a straight answer from someone over there. I'm a little upset that I didn't even break one of their rules and moved it to a different forum to please them and then they ban me for it.
Wow. I can't believe Amigians would treat eachother this way. Well its been something thats plaged Amiga for all of its existance why should it change now I guess.
Maybe someday people will just work togather insted of aginst eachother.
Peace to the community!

ROTFLMAO!
"Something that has plagued Amiga for all its existence".... yep, you're right. Price gouging on Amiga and C= items has been around for quite a long time ;)

Claw: at the bottom of Raymond's (cellarsites) ebay auctions, he has the tagline
"About Us: We are a nonprofit corporation whose mission is to spread technology to those who are typically underserved in the technology field. Your purchases help to further this mission. "
Is he really nonprofit and trying to liquidate to avoid tossing in the dumpster as you originally advertised on all the forums ? All the comments others have posted about outrageous prices, is there anyway he could come down to a more realistic price on two 1084s monitors?
For $125 I would expect to pay for units that have been refurbished with Retr0brite and a recapped chassis. Your video presentation makes me wonder the condition of hardware.
Looking at his sold auctions over the past few months his 1541 drives were selling for $10. Since you advertised he is trying to get $50 out of them, when there is about 20 others going for $5-$13 ?
You have the whole community covered with these forums, but he is alienating everyone. Nobody is willing to fall for the "RARE / VINTAGE" 500% markup

@Claw: I´m interested in CD32 and especially in CDTV accessories and expansions, such as:
* SX-32 pro
* CD1405 CDTV memory card (256kb)
* CDTV external Harddrive an SCSI Controller
* Bigram CD (that one with the optional 2 MB Fast RAM expansion)
* CDTV Emprom Flash Card
If you have any of these... :D

Would it be possible to check for any new SSI or Avalon Hill titles he might have in stock for either the C64 or the Amiga? I noticed some on the shelf when you shot that footage a few weeks back. I'm especially looking for Geopolitique 1990, Ripper, Dr. Ruth, etc... Thank you for your help.

Found what your looking for seeing if I can find the power connector and get it ready finding out if we have the stuff to test it for you.
If you can't find the PSU, I can live without it. I'll make my own bigfoot type of setup for it. Give me an idea of price this way?
-
That link to his ebay site is no good. whoever that is is only selling magic cards.
EDIT: Ignore above - putting my glasses on and drinking some coffee and the link somehow worked for me. I blame Darrin. :lol:
-
Just to let people know that I ordered an item from the link and it arrived safely at my house. :)

Just checked your eBay listing and found the GVP sidecar for $105.00.
Thanks, but no thanks Maybe some one else will pay twice what it should sell for, but I can't afford it.
I guess that's a no on the cartridge?
Well, thanks a bunch for letting me know...

As I have said several times that I have no control over the pricing what so ever. The ebay seller has no control either. What happens every weekend is I go to the warehouse and search for things as well as pick a few items I know should be of interest and get the listing price from the shop owner. I then catalog the item and drop them to the seller. The seller is a non-prophet and is doing this only to raise money for his cause. His cut is a set price the shop owner has worked out in advance. I don't have details on this as I was not involved in there negotiation. I do suggest lowering the prices to him all the time for you guys but well have to see what comes of it as like I will repeat its not me decision.
I'm only doing this to help the community get things as much as possible. If the price isn't right don't buy it thats all I can say. I will keep plugging away at getting lower pricing as much as I can.

What did you get?

What did you get?
A box. I'm in NM at the moment so I haven't been home to open it. It should be that C64C and floppy drive.
-
Is there any A500 gear, i.e. memory cards / accelerators? VXL RAM module? :-)

Expressing interest in that CD32 package if the price is right. Lay it on me Claw... how low can he go? :lol:
...btw: what's up with that I/O blix serial port card at $210?? Methinks there's an extra digit in there. Take your pick: either the '2', the '1' or the '0'. lmao
Expressing interest. Second in line for CD32.
Expressing interest. First in line for the I/O blix card at (2)$10 or $2(1)0 :)
:laughing:

i'm sorry but the way some of the stuff is stored makes me wonder the condition/functionality of the hardware. All big box amigas have issues with leaky batteries so thats one of the first things I'd check for...
You cannot expect to get top dollar for something like that.

LOL. And for the record, the box mentioned above was indeed a C64C and floppy drive and they're working perfectly with my Chameleon64. :D
