Amiga Cache of Minnesota!!! Raymond Computer is Liquidating. Cont.

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 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.

[Claw22000]

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

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!  

[Claw22000]

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.

@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).

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.

[Claw22000]

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).

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.

[Claw22000]

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

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!

Hi I would be interested buying an Amiga 4000D (desktop) system in good condition + keyboard. Pending shipping to Denmark. Thanks

sorry I know he dosn't have any 4000s sorry.

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

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.

[Claw22000]

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.

I will keep an eye open for you as we go.  Thanks

[Claw22000]

Just to let people know that I ordered an item from the link and it arrived safely at my house.  

What did you get?
