Waaay too cheap.

This may be a religion for you, that is fine. I don't look at hobby computing as a religion.  The simple fact is on the open market(eBay) he could have possibly got twice that much. 060 accelerators for the A2000 are very hard to come by.

What type of car do you own? What is the average auction price of that car? Tell you what, I will give you 30% of whatever the average sale price. Don't like that suggestion?

[color=ff0000]and a round of applause to arkanoid for encouraging price hiking and trying to ensure that no one in the car buying community gets a "good deal".[/color][/b] :roll:

@save2600

I'm not a communist and I do not run a charity. What sense would it make for me to sell items at a fraction of their actual worth?

-edit-
BTW at today's exchange rates 300 EUR is 418.82. Lower than your guess of $450, but slightly higher than what was in my head. The USD has weakened in the last few weeks. ~3 weeks ago 300EUR would have been 372USD.

@arkanoid

So, are you selling me your car to me for 30% of it's actual value? Thought not.

I can understand your vested interest in maintaining high prices, but this is not YOUR sale. Show a little decency towards the Amiga "community" and leave your money grabbing for eBay, pls.

The guy who joined 2007/2/5 and has 132 posts is telling the guy who joined 2002/2/15 and has 8992 posts what decency is in the Amiga "community"?  :crazy:

Grow the F up, junior.

[redrumloa]

What sense does it make for you to chime in with a peanut gallery comment such as the one you made? "waaaaay to cheap".

Last time I checked, this is a discussion forum.

Oh that's right... because you're an opportunist with an agenda that wants to ensure that ridiculous prices for this stuff keeps on flowing for *you*.

I've said it before, I'll say it again. If I am getting so damn rich and is this so damn easy, why aren't YOU doing it for cheaper? Grab up all those lots of rare hardware and sell 060 cards for $50. Oh wait, that takes effort. Much easier to complain instead of taking initiative.

How would you like it if someone responded to some of your outrageous prices with: "waaaay too much"?? Or how about : "Red... why don't you give *something* back to the community since the community are often times the one that HELPS you out with hardware/software probs"? Getting free advice from experts or parts you need here, just so you can gouge ePay clients, is tacky to say the least (not saying you've done nothing for the community). Or dangling some of your wares around like a carrot, knowing full well they're going to ePay in seconds...

Another newbie storming in making wild accusations  :crazy:

This topic has been beaten to death time and time again. Religion? Hell no. Reality and sensibility? Hell yes. You're on a much different wavelength than some of us, that's all. If you want to continue gouging all day long on ePay - then that is your right. Some of us just know better. Some are afraid to speak up. Some might even "worship" you. lol Or as I've said before... some of us are not as "resourceful" as you. Sometimes we can be though. Thanks for trying to ruin that for *some* of us. Who knows, maybe someday, you'll look back and feel differently about some of these things. We all do from time to time and its part and parcel to the life experience.  My apologies to everyone here that feel the need to continually suck up to Jim. I've not felt the need to behave that way since grade school

You are obviously someone who has not read the posting guidelines. I'd think after 2 years you could get around to reading it. Personal insults are not allowed.

BTW welcome to my blocked bidder list.

That says it all, really.

More like the guy who hasn't turned his leisure-time and hobby into an enterprise, telling the guy who clearly has.

I recently offered my Blizzard 030 for £105 on Amibay, in full knowledge that I could have got about £150 for it on eBay. Unfortunately, none of the users of Amibay wanted it. So I listed it on eBay and got £170. I put my money where my mouth is.

No, putting your money where your mouth is would be to refund the difference to the high bidder.

"waaaaay too cheap" - you're the only one complaining. We don't post in your "FS: eBay" threads complain.

Yet you complain the moment you see someone sell an item cheaper than you personally would have sold it for.

Funny tho, I doubt you would have been complaining if you got to the card first.

Did I ask to buy it? No. This is a discussion forum, and I made a off the cuff comment in passing. People usually make comments in discussion forums.

I don't buy single items off discussion forums for resale, but if thinking that makes you feel warm and fuzzy go with it. Did I complain? How can a 3 word posting be complaining? Again reading into it what you want to read into it.

And for the record, I get tons of complainers in my FS threads.

I'm blocked from your ePay auctions? Now you're really stooping and showing your maturity. Perhaps you're not as greedy as we thought since *my* money is longer "good". Oh well, no loss. No loss at all.

Nope, you are exactly the type of person who would buy an item, get it in perfect condition at the price clearly listed, and then leave an anonymous poor star rating because you felt you paid too much. You've made it very clear what you think. I don't need customers like that, it harms my ability to do business.

Redromola: anyway, I'm not going to continue arguing with you. I'm sure, deep down, you know that your initial snipe was wrong. It's just a pity that you lack the maturity to admit it.

Amazing, talk about pot calling kettle black!

Red,

 In response to you {bleep}ing about not getting rich and this NOT being an easy venture for you... do you really think you are helping a community out by buying low and selling high to *it*?  
 

What the hell are you talking about? Again with the redrumloa is rich bit :lol: My kids have the right to eat the same as you kids, if you have kids. Again, anyone who thinks I am getting fabulously rich and what I am doing is so incredibly easy is a strange bird indeed. If it is so easy, why aren't YOU doing it for a more "community friendly" price? You too can get rich, but being more "fair".

Also you are still going on like I am buying single items from a discussion forum to mark them up on eBay. I can guarantee this is pure fantasy.

-edit-
Just re-read your post, did you edit it? I got a slightly different message second time around. I enjoy using and selling retro parts usually, except the rare times when people who are jealous or whatever start making wild accusations. The vast majority of my customers appreciate the service I provide. I do it for that reason, but I also believe in making a return on my investments.

[redrumloa]

These last couple of years though, I have witnessed a slightly different mentality. Not sure what the deal is (besides some of the obvious), but you're starting to show your true colours. Whatever the excuse is, whatever may be going on in your personal life. Fine. Whatever.

Starting to show my true colors? You keep thinking that if it makes you feel better. I sleep good at night, real good. I have never ripped off a single person, period. They know what I am offering, period. They know they will get what is offered in the condition offered. They know if something goes wrong, I make it right even at a loss. Has anything changed over the years? No, not really. On the selling side I am exactly the same, only my packing material quality has gone up.

[redrumloa]

Against my better judgment, here I am. If you are going to be an ass and post something out of context, including publishing my email address, at least be complete.

Nice one Jim. Now you really have gone & shown the World what a total Asshole you are

Do you really not have the ability to look in the mirror? You publish a private email including my email address and everything is great. I do it and I'm a total asshole. Think about that, if you can.
