Hoax or true? Petro could get a batch of 1500x A1200

[danwood]

I'm friends with Petro on Facebook, just looked at his wall now and cannot see any mention of anything like this.

Also the first link just takes me to a German log-in page.

I'd have to see some more proof before believing this to be true.  I find it unlikely they'd have been sitting around for almost 20 years?

That said I wouldn't mind getting hold of an A1500 if it does turn out to be true.  

Cut & paste the original post for us non-a1.org members anyone?

He just messaged me on my wall. He offered me one for 150 Euro...

Yep, I'd say it be true!

Now we need a proper online order form.
Go Petro !

He's sorting things out right now. You should hear official word before long.

Needless to say, I'm going to raise money to get one...

Signed no less.

Interesting and kind of cool news, but 150euro seems a little steep in my opinion, unless there's a warranty involved.

To each his own though and nice to have some more classic amigas in circulation.

As much as I grumble about having no discretionary money, I'm pretty sure I can dig up the buck to snag a NOS 1200.  I don't suppose 1500 will go too very quickly, though I wouldn't want to chance that at a good price.

I wonder how the caps will be after all this time.

From what I understand, these are the old Magic Packs. Box, software and all.

That and having it signed would make it worth while to me. I'll end up storing it in a plastic tote as a collector's item.

Now to raise the cash. Joblessness sucks!

150E is a bargain. Good condition A1200s go for more on ebay. And these are NOS.
Still.. I would like them to go on sale through AmigaKit so they can test each and every one. It would really suck to buy one of those Amigas straight from the container and realize it's not working. I would pay 20E more for that kind of reassurance.

EDIT:
What is there in a Magic Pack ?

Whoa, that's some serious software.
Well my money is ready...

From my understanding of Petro's English...

They are coming from a buyer that Petro had sold to back in the day when he was president.

Probably the indian connection. Amiga tech. Sold some equipement to India in their last years. Less than a year ago, i talked to an Indian reseller that still stocked NOS amiga equipement.

Something else besides the Magic Packs ?

There might also be some CD32s. I remember ther was a massive sale/stock dissapearance when CBM went bust.

I heard of numbers of about 15000 units, but then it could have been just nonsense gossip.

1,500 is the number Petro quoted to me.

EDIT: 1,500 units, not 15,000.
