There are too many greedy folks on eBay who take advantage of those people who really want gear. Where I live there were tons of Amiga users back in the day. People have given me the old Amigas in their garages because they know it is going to a good home.

A particular example is a mint A3000 with Cyberstorm MkIII 060 with 64mb RAM, two 2.0G HDDs, Ariadne, and cv643d. This guy used it in college and just wanted to see someone enjoy it. He could have sold it on eBay and made 100s but he had a different mindset than most. Greed is a powerful thing.

Learn how to bid then. Wait to the last 30 seconds to make your highest bid. If you don't win, get over it, and hope for better luck on another auction.


Or just snipe it.

My hangup with ebay is how people present it:

"xyz product - FOR SALE!" - open the message

cgi.ebay.com.blah/blah/#asp?/crap*

Look, ebay isn't a "sale" unless you've stuck a BUY IT NOW on it.

C'mon people, it's simple logic.  FS: for SALE.  FA: ...

Wait, no, that'll get me in trouble with the mods.

Let's try: if you're auctioning it say so.  Wherever and for whatever it is.


Exactly.. I get irritated when I click a For Sale link and see a dad gum eBay URL! Have some consideration for people who don't care to deal with eBay!

What grinds my gears is people who get free gear locally then turn around and put it on eFraud for a pretty penny. That sounds like a Doomy move!

So long as you dont exploit others by charging exorbitant prices for stuff you got free.

Anyone who does this does not deserve to be a member of the Amiga community. This includes YOU Doomy, I know you're reading this. You have quite a reputation for stripping all of the good bits out of systems and selling them without letting the buyer know what's missing. You are a disgrace to the Amiga community and it's no wonder you've been banned from every forum except your own.

I don't care who engages in this behavior, it is deplorable.

By the way, did you ever tell the buyer of the 2500 it was missing its accelerator?
