It is about 300km away from me. Tempting to get the credit card out but that simply won't fit in a two bedroom unit. Lol

Quote from seller:

On 27-Apr-11 at 18:44:54 AEST, seller added the following information:
 Hi everyone and thanks for viewing my listing.

I have noticed that this listing has made it's way onto a whole heap of websites around the world which is very flattering but I am now starting to realize that perhaps it was not a very good move on my part to advertise like this. The listing has generated a bit of heat around some forums and due to the amount of views and the high res photo's, it is chewing up my web hosting bandwidth (the pics are hosted on my own site external to ebay)

I'd like the buyer to be happy with their purchase and I have not described the collection to a very good standard at all, some systems don't work some do - some are in great condition, some are not etc...

With that said, I have decided to drop the listing for now and decide how best to go about doing this again.

My apologies for any inconvenience.

Lastly, thankyou for all the kind comments people have emailed through.





......oops!!!!! Did I start the forums off?????????? lol

Definitely wasn't my listing. If it was mine I would sell it all separately and, as another poster said, take a month off. There would have been more than enough money in that bunch to warrant it.

Can someone upload those pictures again?  I can't find them anywhere... I missed it ARGHH!
I'll post them onto my MobileMe site when I get home. They are pretty big pictures so i won't keep them there long.

LOL looks like he took the photo from the roof.

And no it's not Cammy I think she's up in northern NSW.
Besides I'm sure she'd let us Classic Amiga lovers know on the improbable off chance she was selling her Amiga's.
He mentioned that he did take it from the roof and it still didn't fit in one photo.
