Red's bad a** for sale thread!

[redrumloa]

Thanks for the thumbs up, helps me continue for a while. I'm sorry I have been relatively slow sorting and listing. I have been busier than a fox in a hen house. I did just list this..

Added 52 Amiga CDs with cases and Amiga History Books(!) to auctions :-o

[redrumloa]

Added 225 used floppy disks LOT#1, 225 used floppy disks LOT#2, 225 used floppy disks LOT#3 and 225 used floppy disks LOT#4 to auctions!

Sold SuperCPU 64 accelerator for C64/128 and *RARE* Amiga 4000 Black Prototype.

Added Lot of 2x Amiga 1000 computers to auctions.

[weirdami]

the last couple SuperCPU sold for over $1,000 on eBay

$405  :cry:

How much did those cost when they first came out?

$405 was fine, this was a 64 version and had no SuperRAM card. IIRC they were $299 with no SuperRAM when new.

Sold NOS(New Old Stock) Amiga 2000 for only $182.50. You snooze, you lose!

Added Bodega Bay busboard to auctions.

At $1,100 plus dollars the prototype went well over my budget- I guess I shouldn't be all that suprised. I am watching the 1000's closely.

If the prices start going super low, are you going to hold off for a while because the market is getting flooded?

I don't think the market will ever get flooded enough to lower prices. There are just so many parts and way too many people are wanting them. Mix in the "new" Amiga users that are poping up on a daily basis. Red is safe even if he had a hundred times the inventory.

Naah. While the A2000 end bid was shockingly low, so far I an still say win some, lose some. For the price of the A2000, I would have bought it myself. You never know with eBay, just the nature of the beast. A few other auctions went a bit higher than expected, so it's all good.

Am I the only one who doesn't think that $180 for a bare bones A2000 is about what you would expect to get?  Maybe a little on the high side?  There was nothing out of the ordinary about it other than the fact that the original owner bought it new (isn't that the case with all computers) and he hadn't used it much (alot of computers fall in this class also).  He had to use it some because ReDrum stripped the goodies all out of it that the original owner had installed.  I can understand the high prices for some of the rare or hard to find items being listed, but this was neither rare or hard to find.  JMTC

Totally disagree. The owner didn't use it, he bought it new upgraded by the dealer he bought it new from and it sat in storage. The keyboard has never been out of it's original plastic, the unused mouse still has the original shipping tab, the manuals are still wrapped. The original battery has no leak or fuzz, which it would if used. $180 is a steal. jmho

I think the issue is the A2000 is about as common as dirt.  When you come across a "brand new" C64 or A500 in package, the prices don't get too incredibly high on those either, and they definitely have a bigger nostalgia following.

4 years ago I was getting between $200 on the low and $700 on the high, each for never opened NOS(New Old Stock) 64C computers. I sold several dozen of them. If someone had a NOS breadbox C=64, that would be some money.

I think I have a NOS A1000 here, I may just keep it for myself..

Probably a good idea, would most likely just be another disappointment on eBay.
