Software Hut is back !!!
« on: November 07, 2015, 05:29:31 PM »
I have been seeing lots of stuff on eBay here in the usa that states its from Software Hut. But they have been gone for years. Well guess what.

There went out years ago. Somehow I started thinking some new is going on and well check it out


I was correct
This is very good news!!   this added some weight to what I have seen over the last year momentum is growing all over   :)

Pretty good trick being able to stash the entire inventory of a company in a mini van.

Yes, I noticed softhutjoe started selling during AmiWest.

He seems to have timed it just right, a real pent up demand.
I bid on a couple of items and saw the price zoom to hundreds... (ouch)

I guess Joe found stuff in the attic?

YES, as a seller, I love the fact that I can find a market for almost anything on eBay.
Bid well, bid often. (followed by a similar sinister chuckle).

I'm sure this is not a revival for Software Hut.  It is Joe getting rid of his inventory that never sold.  I don't see anything listed that would lead me to believe otherwise.  It is still a great chance for us to pick up some of the odds and ends that aren't produced anymore.

He may decide to pick it up again and go with it. With all the new vendors he could make this a good thing. I encourage him to do so!

Once the back inventory is gone he can't get anything except what you can already get from Amigakit.  I guess he can underprice Amigakit on all the things they sell but where does that leave us?  Amigakit out of business and Joe making no money because of low prices and no market.  Why do you think Individual only makes one or two small runs of products?  Because there is no market for more.  You don't see any of the in-demand items being listed that SH used to sell.  They're gone.  All that is being sold is old stock that never sold because there was no demand.  I'm the biggest Amiga fan there is but I won't fool myself into thinking this is more than it is.

There are no Amiga dealers in the US.  None (unless you count Doomy, from that absurd Facebook post that popped up recently).  Sure, AmigaKit and others ship here, but shipping $ is high and sometimes takes a long time.  So there might be a market for him, if he's interested in doing more than just selling off remainders of old inventory.  ;)
