@Metalguy66

That is a seriously good price for a MegAChip, it will be snapped up soon. I just picked up 3+ of these, but I doubt I'll list them that low :-o

@Red, you're kidding right ? (just to make sure  :crazy:  :lol: )


No, if I was to put one up straight auction I'd get north of $150, possible even north $200. While not rare, they are uncommon enough to command those prices.

How come I sold 2 (one in box) for 50$-60$ each last year ? (all scavenged from dead japanese a2000 boxes) and that's ebay prices. You will never get 150$ for that and even that buy it now price is a joke for me.


 :shrug:

Are you sure you are not confusing 2MB Agnes with Megachip?

You'd never sell any at $150-200 because this vendor has sold erm lots of these for $90 in the last year or two (probably has more).
 


What dealer? All I am going on is the last couple auctions I have seen.

lus who in their right mind would pay $200 for a MegaChip when you can get an A500+ for $3


Err, right :lol:

-Edit-
I just sold a reglular A500 with imperfect case for 10x more than $3 and it sold like lighting at that price.

I bought mine from this guy 3 years ago for $59


That link shows a sold one for $99, which you just said was a joke. but anyhow, this conversation is getting boring. Whatever I list it for, if it doesn't sell, I lower the price. That's capitalism. Since you have so kindly pointed out them selling for less than I've seen, I'll take that into advisement.

Not a full A500+. I get your point, but I disagree. That is like saying, just get an A2000 or even just get a PC. If someone wants a certain piece of hardware, they want that hardware.

P.S. I would never recommend an A2000. They are the worst Amiga. They have no redeeming features.


Are you Doomy's alter ego?  :lol:

I am just trying to urge people who might be reading this and considering paying those prices to stop and think again.


Why don't you open am eBay store and sell this hardware for what you think is fair? Like tested A500 motherboards for $3.

I imagine that MegAchips mainly end up in CDTVs? It's what I bought mine for.


I think they mainly end up in A500s, but that is a guess.

I can make more money doing something else in the time it takes to compose the advert and go to the PO.


That is my point :-)
