Wanted: A4000 CPU cards, Daughterboard, etc

[tone007]

Amiga Digital, who I know, is selling an A2630 with 4MB on Amibay: http://www.amibay.com/showthread.php?t=11596

That'll be awesome in his A4000!

Some of you guys crack me up.  "no one's gonna tell me what I can sell something for"; "it'll be a cold day in hell..." blah blah blah.  Kind of glad you Amibay naysayers are not part of our small but perfectly formed community (and it is a community by the way - a lot more than this place has turned into it seems).

Stay on eBay or wherever the hell you want to for your buying or selling.  No one's asking you to come to Amibay (trust me - we're really not) but if you do, and you don't like the rules - then get lost - simples.  

Tell you what - keep alienating Amibayers here and at this rate it'll be a cold day in hell before I donate here again for sure.

Don't worry, I'll donate in your name.

I am starting to get really frightened by the reaction of some of my amibay fellows. Amibay is not a community on his own, it's a small part of the amiga community, in which amiga.org is a much bigger part.
Note also that amibay is not even 100% amiga related: is it not the vintage bay, including any kind of old computer?
We should all be friends here and show positive feelings to anyone using our outdated computers.
So please stop acting like you were in a sect or so.

The fact that he sold the item through a friends account seem to have slipped some peoples minds (and that's what got me talking in the first place read my first post....) but anyway to all the people bagging Amibay delete your accounts if you have any and stay away. Also my Nic has never changed from EAB, Ebay, Amibay and Amiga.org and i have never used someone else account (although i should have just so the wife doesn't find out how much i spend.. ) and although i don't sell much i do give stuff away sometimes.. (still thinking i shouldn't have given that A1200 away.... LOL second thoughts the second i said those words.... )
Anyway i wish him all the luck finding everything he needs.

Xanxi, Amibay came out of Amibench which was pretty much for Amiga trading but Amibay evolved beyond just Amiga which is great but the site is still predominantly Amiga based although the more diversity the better and long may it grow to include more and more systems.

Your comment about Amibay not being a community on it's own, I kind of disagree with a bit but I know what you mean.  I think the active members of Amibay who contribute to the other threads and sections (not just the trading side) feel they belong more to that community but also I agree we're all part of the same old Amiga community in general.

Amiga.org is bigger as far as user base goes but that doesn't mean better - it's quite a different place to Amibay really and both have their own place and I've been a member here a long time and have had great help and advice over the years from the folks here and some of those folks are the same folks that are slamming Amibay now which makes me unhappy.  

We are one big community in the end and I'm more than happy to promote Amiga.org as much as I do Amibay because I do think this is a great place (and my comments about donations were formed of frustration more than anything) but I will absolutely not stand by idly without reply while my friends are lambasted from people who are miffed because they fell foul of the rules.

I got banned from Amibay because I posted pictures of a A500 that were mirrored because I was too lazy to change my webcam settings.

Upon being asked to fix it I replied "blow me.  If you cant tell what it is, youre retarded"


RUN BY TARDS, THERES YOUR PROOF.


Then I got an A2500 for 25$ and made 400$ off of it because I had 0 use for it other than selling the toasters and upgrades to people.

If people are willing to fork out money for stuff, how is it the sellers fault?  Noone puts a gun to your head and goes BUY THAT SHIT EVEN THOUGH ITS BEEN MARKED UP FROM WHAT HE PAID FOR IT.

Next time, buy it first for lower and prevent the inflated resale, or shut the hell up.


Amibay is a bunch of pretentious doofs trying to make some super 1337 Amiga sale country club.    

Yep.

We crack you up? perfect example here. You talk about amiga.org alienating amibay people,thats silly. The quote you listed were my words i believe. I am a member of amiga.org but i don't speak for it and i'm not the admin here.. It was simply MY opinion on the subject.Don't turn this into a amiga.org thing it has nothing to do with it.

Very funny, especially as your account on Amibay has been flagged "inactive" as you haven't posted or done anything over there since you signed up Sept 09? :lol:

@Arkhan - Honestly?  Simpletons like you are a perfect example of who and what we don't want at Amibay.  Stay happy in your seething pit of anger and mediocrity.

OK, I think it's time I posted in here.

The only reason I am not called Merlin on here is because I changed ISPs and for some reason the account went FUBAR, so at the time I PM'd and asked Wayne to allow me to have the Merlin account back as it wasn't doing anything; he refused, saying that accounts don't get merged or reallocated, even though the Merlin account hadn't posted that much. That's the only reason I am not called Merlin and ended up being called WotTheFook on here. On other Amiga forums I am Merlin. Merlin is just too common a name for me to use it on eBay.

This doesn't need to deteriorate into some 'red vs blue' keyboard warrior war. A.org and AmiBay serve fundamentally different purposes for the retro community and it's frankly damaging and pointless to get into keyboard warrior flame wars about it. If you don't like what AmiBay is about, don't come to the site, what's hard about that? The sites walk different paths, it's that simple.

One key difference between AmiBay and a.org is that we try to provide a safe trading haven for our members, this is a major part of our site and is a relatively small part of A.org by comparison. We try to provide a service to our members that is free from exploitation and scalping by traders and it is this very point that started this whole thread. It's been dug over enough, so I am not going to comment on it.

One point I will make though; we don't allow trolling or flaming on AmiBay and from what I've read in this thread, a lot of the a.org posters in here wouldn't last very long.

I would ask that AmiBayers let this matter go, as the arguing back and forth isn't doing anything productive, so let the two sites agree to differ and go their separate ways.

Happy trails............

WotTheFook aka Merlin

pretty sure I didn't sign up as Arkhan on the banned one, especially considering I sold my A500 stuff my first semester of college which was before 09...

Thats cool, all the good amiga junk is either here, or on ebay.
