Like the subject says, I'm looking for an inflatable Boing ball. I'd like to get one of the smaller ones handed out by Peter Tyschtschenko at the Amiga Technologies booth back in the day, but I'll settle for the full-size beach ball version too. :)
The trick is that I'm in the US and so I want to see if there's someone who has one to sell domestically before I pay for international shipping.
-
The only one I'm aware is those sold by Alinea Computer. They're 28cm diameter, so I assume that's smaller than a standard beach ball.

Pretty sure there are no active Amiga dealer left in the US. Unless you can find one from a non Amiga source then you'll have to order from overseas.
I wouldn't think it would cost too much to ship since the size and weight won't be much with it folded and packed.

Found someone. :)
http://www.randomize.com/amigawares/products.html
The email addresses found on the site didn't work, but the phone number did. He was unaware there were issues with his site's links or that there was even interest. For anyone else who comes across this post and is interested, he said that'll update it to show current items and to get the email and PayPal links fixed in the next few days.
-
wow great find! & in my province here in Canada too :)
-
Wow, those models. Stink eye! She must've just caught sight of Fleecy McBill. :lol:

Great job! Thanks! :)
I'm interested in several of his items, especially the "Powered by Amiga" t-shirt. Do you know if he has a lot of items in stock or only a few left?

You can email him at "thom" followed by the at sign followed by the domain name in the link I provided.

Nice find, thanks! I bought a bunch of these from Software Hut many years ago and lost them all at our college football games. Was good fun until the cops got 'em.

Mods, Thom has told me in email that he created an account here to respond to the interest, but "seem to have not yet been given permission to post in the forms".
-
Mods, Thom still can't post here. He gets a message telling him he's not authorized to post messages. His username is thommills. He'd like to respond to the interest here.
-
A shame he is not authorized to post yet. :( I tried sending him an e-mail, but did not receive a response. Would love to have some of those items for my collection. :)
-
Today I received my inflatable Boing ball from Thom. :-) He's out there, but he says he's always juggling lots of things every day.

Glad to hear you received your stuff, but I'd have to say consider yourself lucky. I'd really like to hear from this guy Thom too, since I haven't received what I ordered.
Ordered a couple things on 4/28, paid with paypal. Items not received, no email status or acknowledgement, so on 5/18 I tried to email the email account given in my paypal transaction, email failed. I tried emailing the sales account given on the amigawares page on randomize.com, email failed. I tried emailing Thom as mentioned in this thread, no failure, but no response either, also on 5/18. PM'd the guy on 5/20, no response yet.
So, to anyone else that would like to order some Amiga merchandise . . . feeling lucky?

Hi .. Thom Mills here. I finally managed to get registered and authorized to post!
Let me start with a few apologies. If you have been trying to get in touch with me and I've been unresponsive, that is due to a combination of a very busy life mixed with old email addresses and and old site for which I don't seem to have the original files to make the updates.
To the person that placed and order and found me unresponsive, I have replied to your email and again apologize for the situation that left you feeling "un lucky."
I appreciate the conversation here and am happy to get you guys the items that we have that you may be interested in. Years ago, our core business was Amiga related products and services. We are now in a complete different business area. If you are interested, check out http://www.greenhometv.org and http://www.greenhomepowergeneration.com.
For the moment please do not order from the site at http://www.randomize.com/amigawares. I will get to updating that site with the actual items we do have in stock and will get email addresses properly connected. FYI, the items we do have are basically the following:
- Boing Beach Balls
- Polar Fleece Sweats - in Black and Gray - Most sizes
- Zip Polo Sweats - Mainly in White in selected sizes
- Some Hats - Mainly Red and White plus a few Blue Denim
- Premium Embroidered T-Shirts - only in XXL and XXXL - we don't have other sizes and we do not have Powered-By-Amiga T-Shirts .. unless there became a demand for 100 or so of each
- Crop Tops in mostly Black
Thanks.
-
The Amiga30 folks should buy a load of those balls.
-
@thommills: thank you for the email and apology accepted! Figures that I finally pull the trigger on this thread to *itch about you, and a couple hours later I get your email.
I hope you get enough interest to make another run of the Powered-By-Amiga T-Shirts, I'm in for at least 2.
Thanks

@thommills
Thanks for the info. Looking forward to the update! :)

Hi all.
I have the site updated and ready. You can find it at http://randomize.com/amigawares/products.html (http://randomize.com/amigawares/products.html)
I also updated the page with a few videos that we produced when the products were first introduced.
The items available on the updated site are available until sold out. I will try to update the page as sales are made. If I sell out before the page is updates, I will simply send an email saying such an item sold out and offer a refund or other item. Please know that I've had some of the these items for some time and there are family members that are eager to see them get into good hands .. so get them while they last.
Be aware, there is one Powered-By-Amiga T-Shirt left with a small stain on it .. I believe a wash will get it out. $10 for it. Email me directly at thom@randomize.com if you want it.
I also have the following T-Shirts - $15 each - again, email me if interested:
Directory Opus by GP-Soft - White
PowerUP by Phase5 - Grey
Thanks for your interest.

The beach balls "buy now" button is just taking me to a PayPal login screen. It doesn't seem to work correctly. The sweatshirt does get added to the cart. I'll shoot you a PM. :)
-
Beach Balls are now being added the order properly on our page .. thanks for pointing it out.
-
My goodies arrived today, thanks! Sweater is super-comfy, wearing it now. That beachball... *phew!* blowing it up reminded me that I should quit smoking, haha! :lol: Thanks again!

Thommills, I think I was at your farm last summer to pick up some amiga cables for my Amiga 1200 & 600. Was that you with the barn full of Amiga stuff ? I also purchased the Boing Beach Ball. :)
I should have picked up some fresh eggs.
Did those chickens that escaped make it to freedom?
Cheers.
Thommills if it was not you who's farm I went to, then there is another place at least north of Vaughan that sells Boing Beach Balls. :) and I'll have another beer. :) (It is Canada Day!!!!)
-
Yes .. that was I .. the rest of the stuff in the barn has to go!
Need eggs? You know where i am.
Now back to the Beach Balls and AmigaWares. I still have a good number of items .. and if I don't move them soon, there are going to be many that picked up t-shirts, sweaters and bouncing beach balls out of the local thrift store .. and will have absolutely no appreciate for what they are.
Get them while they last guys!

I'll be putting in an order as soon as I can, but it might not be until I get back on the 15th. Hope they don't make it to the thrift shop before then!

We still have Beach Balls
I still have mine that I got from you. Keep one blown up, had some friends over with their little daughter a few days ago, didn't really know what to do with her so I was like "Here! Have a beach ball to play with!" --- Fortunately she didn't destroy too much stuff in my house with it, haha. :lol:
