ASB-Computer

They are original and creative

When you buy an item they will add the VAT, add the cost of P&P and later add the VAT of the item (that already included VAT) + P&P.

So let's say you buy a Coccolino for 30Euros for example. Let's suppose VAT is 16% and let's suppose P&P is 10 Euros. How much they will charge you?:

(30 * 1.16 + 10)*1.16 = 51,968 instead of 46,4...

Beware of them. They don't have most of stuff in stock and they'll try to charge you VAT two times (making your order a 16% more expensive).

I have various friends who have suffered their creativity.

My experience says the opposite, I had to wait a lot and he didn't have the stuff in stock.

I know that many people had problems with ASB but you know that are a lot of extrange people in the amiga comunity that make extrange things with her hardware:P

And that's the reason he charges VAT twice? Sorry, but I fail to see the logic in your comment. He has not charged VAT twice one time or two, he has done it almost always.

A friend of mine decided to buy a Catweasel from him. ASB sent him a broken CW covered with dirt that clearly *wasn't new*. He sent the CW back to Amiga Superbit and *again* ASB sent him a broken CW *covered with dirt* and clearly used. I don't say "tested", I say "used" as in "second hand". The third time my friend phoned ASB quite angry and ASB sent him another CW this one was also *clearly* used but it had been clean. But you still could notice that it was an used card.

I have another two friends who have bought Individual Computers products in Germany and I promise you... the boards are "shiny" clean and reflect the light because these are new and have good quality.

If someone "did extrange things" with hardware it was ASB because he sells used boards as if these boards were new. And to add insult to the injury he charges you VAT two times.

Have you contact them to ask you about this problem?

Of course, they say that it's what they always charge :-P

try to change the battery and the PSU. Clean the contacts, check out that the cpu module is firmly inserted
