I'll put up a vote for Vesalia and Amigakit
Done a couple of transactions with both of them and have nothing but good luck.
Only problem I had with Amigakit was when that volcano exploded and grounded everything. Not their fault, FedEx couldn't fly!
Sure wish there was someone here in the States tho. Would save quite a bit in shipping.

There's Software Hut:

And if you like to be abused as a customer:

Tried Software Hut a couple fo times, but never got a response to emails.
So revanchellc.com is pretty bad, huh? In what way?

Can't speak to revanche but SHut - I've heard of folks who've had runaway success dealing with them and then stories like yours.
Their catalog doesn't exactly fill me with confidence: they still have CSPPCs listed, and I very seriously doubt if they have them in stock...!
(Funny aside: Steve G., back on c.s.a.a on usenet used to point to SHut's catalog whenever the question of "Well where can one get one of these super-Amigas you tout?" came up. :D Ah, good times, good times...)

Amigakit and Vesalia are both awesome.

I agree. Ordering on the Vesalia site is a little funky but works just as good. And they sometime have different stuff than A.K.
-
Vesalia is always great to do business with. Have been a customer for atleast 12+ years.
Since I just recently bought my first product from Amigakit, I can't really say more than that I got my device alot faster than I thought due to the volcano stuff.
Last time I bought something from Softhut was when I bought 1581 diskdrives for my Commodore 64 back in early 1990 or so.... they were good then atleast ;)
I really think it's great that they still support us with Amiga and Commodore 64 stuff. It's amazing really! Makes it hard for me to decide from whom I should order my Amiga OS 4.1 computer from :D

@Amigakit
I just ordered an NEW A1200 from Amigakit - NOS! (hasn't arrived yet thouogh).
I am now ready to buy all the goodies too....
Amiga Mouse
USB Board
PCMCIA Wireless Card
Apollo 1230 030/40MHz w/FPU (Just purchased on ebay!)
and a Scan Doubler for the A1200
I would appear AmigaKit doesn't don't have a scan doubler in stock for the A1200....
Might someone know when they will have them back in stock?
I also need a like-new A500 replacement keyboard.
(Got the burner all fixed and back running!)
Also just bought an A2000HD setup on ebay!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Looking at S-HUT's website is a little odd... seems like they don't update it at all.
(Is the free gifts thing still good at S-HUT?)
Can a person be reached to speak to on the phone at S-HUT?
I would like to just order everything from one vendor if I could.
Anyone ordered from Software Hut lately?
Thanks......

Can someone put up a link to vesalia, don't think I've ever vistited their site, if I have I don't remember. I have done business with Amigakit, bought my SamFlex from them, good company but I'm not a fan of their support ticket system, I'd much rather just email them if I need tech help. SHut used to be great, they would build you a custom towered system and they had tons of stock. Joe the owner is a nice guy but his tech guy Chris left. He really should take down the web page because I don't think he has any of that stuff in stock any more, everything I've tried to order wasn't there. When I asked him about OS4.1 and systems he said they were illegal because not approved by AInc. but that was some time ago. Never heard of revanchel but I sure do miss the good ole days of having Amiga dealers in the states. There used to be 6 good ones fairly near me.

I just reciently Last Friday I ordered the ordered GVP Typhoon 030/40 from Softhut. To go with the NOS A1200 I ordered from Amigakit.
After corresponding with Joe via email over the weekend I found out that the SCSI was not something that could be easily added later, so I agreed switch to the model with SCSI. He even gave me a $20 discount on the SCSI and the shipping with a reasonable $10.
Anyway, the package tracking number came Monday and my package is scheduled to arrive tomorrow.
So maybe give Softhut a chance…
-
I've purchased stuff from AmigaKit and SoftHut and they are both great retailers.
SoftHut's website is horribly outdated, but Joe is responsive to emails.
I just yesterday received my new Spectrum RTG card I ordered from SoftHut, something I think you can only get from them.
It's great to have these guys still supporting the Amiga!
-
Well that's great news about SoftHut, maybe I'll try to do some business with them in the future.
-
I just S-HUT an email with my inquirey.... I'll wait for a reply! ;-)
-
Well, this is the response I got back.... quick!

Hello, I was directed here from Amiga.org and was wondering if you might have the following items for purchase and possible pricing...
I recently purchased an A1200 NOS & an Apollo Accelerator and would like to add the following...
Subway USB adapter
Sold out dont think they are made anymore
2 each - Original Amiga mice
sold out I have refurbished mice for $ 12.00 or a PS 2 mouse adapter for $ 42.95
a Wireless solution - possible PCMCIA or Internal ethernet (non-tower)
Nothing right now available
an internal scan doubler for A1200 (non-tower)
Sold out only have CD32 and 4000 scan doublers. You can try http://www.amigakit.com
They might have some left
Also, would you happen to have a very good condition A500 replacement keyboard
Yes $ 25.00 in great shape
Also noticed that you have a 286 bridgeboard. Would that be suitable for an A2000?
sold out sorry
If for A2000, what does that include? Is it new? Is it a ready solution to add a 286 to an A2000?
I can order and pay for these online if possible thru your site.
Do you still have the free gifts? ;-)
Yes to order you can use our secure type in link at http://www.softhut.com/select.html
Thanks
