Pretty harsh rules man. What gives?
-
The wording of your auction is likely to put most people off, then the price will give the remaining potential bidders pause, and finally when they read the :
"THIS IS SOLD AS IS! so if I forgot to mention anything, that is your problem. Ive tried to mention all I can."
... line they are likely to laugh out loud and look at other auctions.
That aside, good look in selling it for that amount.

Nice item
I always loved the A600.. and that Apolla Accel is VERY RARE..
I know this guy takes care of his gear cuz he's a real amigan!
Good luck

@TJLazer
What harsh rules? I didnt see any? :-)
Hey shipping is only $6.00. Thats sounds pretty good to me. It means you'll really pay like 198.00 for the thing, since shipping will be like $15.00

Ewwwww, that sounded sooooo sycophantic! :-D

Man...those terms suck a$$...I'd rather buy from spenceranne :lol:
-
I believe the item has been revised fellas :-)
-
With the rules being so tight and the fact that the unit doesnt even work 100% I would think its not going to sell for the asking price. I think it would have been a much better attraction at a starting bid on $1 and open to all payment forms.

Dude........its a one day auction :-) it ends in a couple of hours.
I have bought 3 units myself in similar conditions for upto $300.00................I gladly payed it

You've paid $300.00 for a none-working A600 accelerator ? More than once ? AND were glad to do it ?!?!
You know I've got a whole bunch of things here that I think could be used as a none-working-A600-Accelerator ... want to buy them for $300.00 each ? ;-)
-
err...
the accel is WORKING judging from the ad. please re-read it.

@Sparky
No...............all units worked, including the A600's...............but I bought 2 of them that happened to have the left audio channel not giving any sound............must have had something to do with the Apollo Accelerator placed wrong.

@leirbag28
Harsh:
1. THIS AUCTION IS PAYPAL ONLY !!!
2. YOU MUST PAY IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASE THE SAME DAY!
3. YOU MUST EMAIL ME WITHIN 5 TO 10 MINUTES AFTER PURCHASE
Plus I could of sworn it also had seller would leave Negative feedback right away if these terms were not met? Must of revised item.
PLUS item does not work 100%. IE Floppy drive is dead and one Audio channel is dead.
IMHO I would not pay $50 for this. Thats just me. NOT ASSuming the 030 accel works, BUT I would pay up to $100 for said accel but only with a guarantee since as mentioned unit is sensative and can be broken so easily!!!
Heck I even bought a A600 from SpencerAnne and it was in better shape than this! And it worked 100% (Except for HD but I scrapped that and installed a nice 2GB HD) LOL
-
Shipping and insurance is only $6.00
WOW!!!! :-o :lol:

That's far off man... asking prise for that dodgy system isn't reality connected and the firm terms just don't match the object... I would expect much better photos (better cleasup of the turbo so one could at least read the writing on the CPU, 1 picture of the hole unit is enough, I would like to see how the unit looked inside and especialy one of the broken hinges and scratches... and finaly some picture showing a tv/monitor of the working system preferably with sysinfo prog running showing the working turbo and hd/mem size) when the price is that high and terms are the way they are.
I meen, once in a while you find Apollo630/50 cards going for 80-90$, buy a secondhand working standard A600 for about 20-40$, buy a working secondhand 4Gb 2.5" HD for about 10-20$, build your own powerfull AT PSU for 10$, buy a working 32Mb simm for 10$, if nessesary buy a new clean A600 casing from Vesalia for 10$, buy a secondhand external diskdrive for less than 10$.
That calculates to between 150-190$ for a system that's fully working (no dead diskdrive or sound), is faster (50Mhz not lowend 33Mhz), with working memory (what do we need two 32Mb simms that only register as 16 when there's just one simmslot?), looks like new (no scratches or missing trapdoor) and can power more addons (200W+ PSU instead of 50W).

$220....too much if you only need the Accelerator. There will be a new charge of Apollo 630 cards for about < 130 Euro produced this year.
