Welcome. Always nice to see new Amiga vendors.

It would be nice if your "About" page gave at least a little information regarding who you are and where you do business from.

Avoid. This Robert O'Neill is a known crook.

His earlier outfits were:

www.amigashop.co.uk
www.pc-x-treme.net
www.amber-inc.com
www.pdx-team.net
www.sumbeamtech.co.uk

Google any of them for some horror stories.

Investigating now...

In the mean time, all users be cautious in ANY on-line dealings.  Most of the person-to-person deals have gone fine but in the past we have received several warnings of sales gone south as well.

We can not do anything directly to help some one who has been ripped off financially so PLEASE tread carefully and get REFERENCES!

The fact that two prominent users have alerted us to this site and it's owner's history is enough for anyone to steer clear IMHO...

LOL.  Who?

Mind you, it doesn't take much.  I'm sponsoring Cardiff City FC for two matches (Nottenham Forest this month and Birmingham City next month).  It just means that I've bought VIP tickets and reserved a table in their lounge for the games... and as it is business sponsorhip I get to write it off on my taxes.  :D

What a shame.

I was eyeing one of those US A1200 keyboards. Mine is has a UK keyboard.

I don't want Nicholas to have to go shake the guy down.

Dealing with Analogic Computers was bad enough.

WTF? "Many Brand New Amiga Parts".

If it sounds to good to be true it usually is. Now where have I heard that before?

Is that similar to how Commodore sponsored an entire football arena?

Nice website.
Pity about the reputation of the owner.
The 1200 keyboards are interesting.

Nice one Piru.

Has to be said that the timing of this is suspect too.  Just before Christmas is a favourite time for scam websites to be promoted.

There are dodgy ugg-boot sites all over the place.

I see he's such a "main sponsor" he's not even listed under the sponsors tab or sponsor directory!

LOL.  No, I actually bought the tickets.  They just talked about doing it.  :D
