Hi all. Thank you for all your feedback. I really do appreciate it.
Yes, that was my first post. I do realize that no one knows me here.
I understand that.
I do intend to take some pictures real soon & get them up here. They're not going to be real pretty pictures because I'm going to just take the pictures as they are still in place.
I know some people who are selling something go to a lot of time & effort to take all kinds of pics & write a really good blurb. I apologize for not doing that. I'm just a really busy guy.
Anyway, this is a real deal. I'm not trying to rip anyone off. I just don't want these anymore.
I should have sold them a long long time ago (in a galaxy far, far away) when I first realized which direction I was going in. When they were worth more.
I guess that I should apologize for not being active in the Amiga world anymore. BUT, when you need to do 3D modeling, CAD, Animation, Rendering, CNC machine code generation, Electronics simulation, PIC chip programming, etc., how can you even come close to a 3.8 GHz 8 core i7?
Yes, I guess I'm a 'traitor' now.
But I'm a Propmaker for the Motion Picture Industry and my work requires me to be able to interact with the rest of the Intel-chip-based world, and, until very recently at least, Amigas can't.
And when was the last time anyone saw Rhino, Solidworks, AutoCAD, Illustrator, Modo, Zbrush, 3DS Max, Maya, etc, etc. ported over to run on a real Amiga?
Don't get me wrong, I really thought the Amiga was something back when I bought them.
I mean, that's why I went out and spent $20,000.00 on them!
BUT, does everyone remember when Intel developed the Pentium & AMD developed similar technologies that basically left the Amiga sucking their exhaust as they watched the Amiga disappear in their rear view mirrors?
I just couldn't wait around for the Amiga to catch up.
I'm sorry, but that's just how it is. Work came first.
So now I have a room filled with Amiga stuff that I don't want anymore.
In fact, I have not been able to use that room for anything else for all this time. Dumb Huh. Hey, I'll admit that.
So anyway, I finally decided that I am going to get rid of all this stuff. Soon. Real soon.
If I can't sell it, I'll donate it somewhere locally for a tax writeoff, or, as a last resort, throw them in a dumpster and be done with it.
Blasphemy! Sinner! What do you mean? Throw them away!?
I'll tell you right now; I do not intend to spend a lot of time trying to get rid of them.
I just don't have the time or energy to devote to a big selling campaign.
I'm a busy guy.
I see that someone mentioned about checking the battery area on the motherboard. I assume that they are concerned about corrosion.
I didn't think about that. However, I am not going to do anything to them.
I can't even remember how to use them anymore!
I haven't turned them on for about 16 years! They have been left plugged in for all that time though.
I make my own PCBs & I do custom electronics for movie sfx. So, if there is a small amount of damage due to corrosion, it probably should not be that hard to repair, even for a normal person handy with a soldering station.
They worked before, they should work now.
I would like to be able to unload these in 1 sale. I don't have the time to spend trying to part them out.
Someone else who has more time to spare than me could buy them & resell them separately.
I'll bet they would be able to charge a fair price & still make a real nice profit!
That editing VCR is a prosumer VCR. That's the best one there is before you get into the professional line of VCRs. It was a $1500 VCR on sale for $979! That VCR was used for 1 project (about 25 hrs worth of editing)!
The most you might have to do to it is replace a couple of belts.
So, if you feel like taking a small chance, here it is.
The first $1200 gets them. That's 6 cents on the dollar. And the buyer pays for all the shipping & insurance costs.
If I can't sell them I'll find some other way to get rid of them.
Think about it. I'll get some pictures up here real soon (maybe tonight).
So check back please.
Thank you all.
