Hello,
I have about a dozen Amiga 500 computers I need to get rid of.
I don't have the energy or time to ship them. I also have 2 Amiga 1000s and a bunch of various equipment.
If you or any of your friends live in the Montreal (Quebec, Canada) area, just leave me a PM message and I'll arrange a meeting.
I also have a couple of monitors to donate.
Thank you.
-
Cool, hopefully they will get a good home ;)
-
Now everybody is warned... if nobody picks them up I will have to trash them.

@eslapion:
Now you're doing the right thing! I applaud you! :-)
But don't forget to post on Craigslist (it's REALLY easy). If you need help, just ask. And also make sure you give the poor guys some time to come. Be realistic.
Touts les amis d'Amiga: vite vite vite! :-D

I don't want to disappoint you but... your reply is NOT welcome...
Only a week and a half ago you told me I asked for an unreasonable price for my chips at 6$ when every Amiga stores ask for at least 14$ for them... thank you soooooo much for your support.
You also called me a tyrant... Well, I think the tyrant is you... I should give you everything you want at the price you want or else...
Anyways... I hope you got some friends in quebec...

You can't disappoint me, because you're doing the right thing to give someone a chance to grab these, before you trash them.
Now my reply might not be welcomed, but the reason for that is your total lack of understading of what I have written, versus what others have written.
For example the below:

I actually never said your prices were unreasonbale. I actually wrote the OPPOSITE. Read it: :rtfm:

I didn't direct the comment at your prices or anything like that. In fact I never saw your items (well, until that fellow posted a link, and he made a good point, read it). Going further, I wasn't passing judgement on yours prices, and by the time I saw the link the items were gone (good for you!), but I'd say that if you were asking $10 a chip, it's not so bad (depending on the chip and shipping of course).

I called people who try to "force" things upon others who have no choice tyrants. Obviously you think yourself of one, thus justifying my words.
And a last thing: I wasn't interested in your items, and still I'm not (not because of you, but because you don't have anything that I'm looking for). I sincerely hope some fellow in Quebec picks these items, because they desparetely need a good home.

[edit out.. though I was in PM.. oops]
-
Bah. I wished I lived in Quebec, I would be very happy to take them from your home and give them a nice place in my house. And I would even pay for them...
-
Hi Eslapion. I live in Cornwall about 1.25 hours from you....but I don't get to Montreal much. Have you considered donating them to Goodwill or some such place?
A1000s seem to fetch good prices on Ebay....you might want to consider that (but you probably already have).
-
I've sent him a PM guys.... do you mind not changing his mind? ;)
-
P-mail sent. What ever James does not take, I am willing to take a drive to save the rest.
-
Ral-Clan,
Your in Cornwall! I didn't know there was someone so close. I'm just across the river and upstream abit.

Na. Your French is just fine.
I have family in Montreal, but not at this time of the year. :-)

Probably like the individual who posted a "free" (A1000?) a few weeks ago, then when he got a lot of PM's decided to let it go to the "highest bidder" instead of the first person who contacted him...
Very few stay true to their word nowadays. :roll:
They're just testing grounds, and when they realize there's interest, they take advantage of people's willingness to pay. "Free" is today the biggest sales pitch, it seems.

i look forward to the trashing.... you gonna film it when you go berzerk and bash all the machines?

Well, these aren't for sale... they are for "pick me up".
Now, at least 3 people clearly indicated they are interested and either themselves or a friend can pick stuff up so I will have to divide the pile among these people.
Too bad for people who expected to see a computer destruction derby...
-
Well, James has decided I was a very suspicious person because I had an urgent meeting at the university and I wouldn't let him wander around alone in my storage.
Therefore there are still many free Amiga 500 and accessories to give away for free for anyone willing to pick them up.
PM me!
-
Damnit people! Somebody pick them up, and send one of those A500s to me, I'll pay for it! :-)
-
Someone please send me one of the A500s !
My little newphew age 6 really needs one for playing old fun Amiga games!
Thank you so much.

e-mail sent to eslapion
@McVenco
I will take you up on that offer of shipping one of the A500's for the cost of shipping to you.
@ChaosLord
Same offer to you, I will ship one of these A500's for the cost of shipping.
-
If someone would be willing to ship me one as well that would be greatly appreciated. :)

You can have mine then. I picked up 3 A500's today for 40 Euro. I wouldn't need a 4th now anymore (I still haven't space for all my other Amiga's and my girlfriend got mad with me again as well :-D )
-
If another one of these A500s becomes available, I would be willing to pay the cost of shipping for one of these.
:-)

Thanks! Hopefully everything works out with these; I've wanted an Amiga for quite a while now.
-
When I do pick up the Amiga's I will post a thread asking who would like one for cost of shipping (depends on how many I pick up of course, I would like to add them to my collection but I may have too many at that point and will be in the same problem as McVenco, but with the wife, girlfriend does not mind) :-)
-
Very cool. I'm in Wisconsin, so hopefully shipping is on the cheap side.
-
I just wanted to say that I picked up two A500s from eslapion.
He's a very nice and friendly person and he's still got lots of stuff if the rest of you guys are interested. :-)
He also gave me an original Commodore PC keyboard (cca 1992?) which I cleaned and now it looks like new. I am actually using it to type this. (Finally a perfect keyboard for my pc, hehe!)
Thanks very much eslapion, great stuff... :-D
