:pissed:
I guess I should consider myself lucky with my recent purchase:

When posting ebay (and long) links, please consider using the correct way of posting a link (see button above or use {url=http://url}text{/url} -- substituting [ and ] for the { } above.

No problem. Fixed. :-)

Is it overpriced?
I tend to have the attitude that since Amiga is a dead platform, the hardware prices should reflect this. That said, I think 100-200 USD is pretty outrageous for an old video card.
But, as I thumb through old magazines, I notice that cards like this sold for $550 "1993" dollars.
So I guess it has taken quite a fall!
Still ... I wish I could recover even 20% by selling my outdated nVidia TnT and GeForce cards. Computers really are commodities now.
-
It's ALL pretty expensive, as far as Amiga hardware goes, however since this is a ZII gfx card with only 2MB of video ram, I think that it's currently priced way higher than it should be.
-
This will sell for that much, maybe more. Not suprised.
-
I sold a PII (not a PII+) on UK ebay recently, and it went for 36 GBP ~ 70 USD
Why does everyone else luck out with ludicrous auctions? I can just see it - I'll list a Blizzard PPC+ (240MHz/060@50MHz) + BVision and it'll go for 200 GBP, and the next week, one will go for 400 GBP...
(Saying that, I did get 16 GBP ~ 30 USD for an A1200 PSU a couple of weeks back, but that's small beer)
-
@Cyberus:
A BPPC 060/240Mhz would sort of go for a very high bid by default, I think. :-)
-
@X
Wow... Maybe I deserve my @$$ kicked for this (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5125240793) one, eh?
We're not talking about ubiquitous PC hardware, though. This stuff's worth no more than a buyer is willing to pay.
And to think... I've been trying to replace it ever since the sale.
-
I saw a Picasso II plain sell in -EDIT- Sep for $145. (see link above) So the current price for that Picasso II Plus is a good deal. Got to admit though, it does look sweeeet! :-D

It's all about timing!

@EzdineG:
LOL, so you are the crazy highest bidder. ;-)
Good luck. Picasso II+ is slightly better than a plain II.
-
And mine went for 36 pounds! (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=3543&item=8136987024)

@ Cyberus
I bid on your card when it was £16 and took it up to £30. I tried a little bit.
-
With the resent deal from Red offering a PCI, Voodoo3 and Ethernet solution, guaranteed to work, for less I don't get it why ppl still pay these rediculous amounts for old Amiga hardware that are sold "as-is". :crazy:
Some ppl are just not prepared to wait for the right deal I guess... I meen... a few months ago I bought an A4000D, 040/25, CV3D+Scandoubler, Ariadne1 and Buddha in a mint contidion (except for battery been removed) for about 215$... and a year ago I bought an A4000D in Mirage Pro tower, CSPPC060, PCI, CV3D+Scandoubler, Ariadne1, FastATA + more for about 550$. :-o
-
Yes, i mean look at this:
ORIGINAL COMMODORE AMIGA A1200 CASE PERFECT!! (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=3544&item=8151721251&rd=1)
Crazy price!
@Cyberus
Yeah. I paid around £8 for my A500 PSU, these PSU are pretty dear considering they are only PSU!! How many BPPC have you got in stock?
@The author of this thread
Bah! I wouldn't be pleaseed with that! CV64/3D is not as good as PIV :-)
Regards,
-
Oppinions... personaly I like the CV3D and find it together with it's scandoubler to be just as good as the PIV. Sure the PIV has it's custom PCI bridge and if you value that high it could be concidered more "bang for the buck" but surely that doesn't make the GFX part any better (belive the GPU to be better on the CV3D than the PIV). And personaly I rather have a standalone GFX card and a real PCI solution.
Ofcause installing the scandoubler is hell so that too can bring the overall experience down but once it works it's fine by me. :)

It's for my A2000. I keep my Picasso IV in an Escom A4000T system.
I find CV64/3D to be the most A2000-friendly gfx card of all.

[unmask]
And I was the buyer!
[/unmask]
Some feedback would have been nice too, I haven't got much! ;-)
Does anyone know if it's possible to get a Microway AGA-2000 to work in a A4000D? That would give me a single VGA monitor solution then.

Snipped from TBBAH: "As the name might suggest "AGA" this card is not designed for use in AGA systems such as the A4000. Whilst it can be used in an A4000 it will only promote screens with a colour depth of 12bit or less, be warned."

Oh right. I knew that! Just testing you that's all! :-D

@thread
Don't you just love market fragmentation? It allows demand to rise for products that are cheap to make but not enough to make them in sufficient quantities that they're cheap to buy. :-)
Now we know why the AmigaOne costs as much as it does.
-
Considering the scandoubler issue, the P2+ would be sweeeeet in the A3000.

I'm aware of that, and that's fine by me, it's purpose will only be to promote old games anyway. It's just fitting it that's the problem - the blanking plate is very large and the video-out socket is positioned near the top and is blocked by the case.
And I don't want to mutilate the case!
Martyn.
-
Ow, well... the only way to fit it would probably be to desolder the gfx port, get hold of a prot with legs pointing stright back from and solder some whires across. That way you could get the port lower "on the card" so it fits the A4000 backplane.

i bought these yesterday
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=8151970765
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=8151972889
did i pay too much? or were they bargains?
-
not sure on the accelerator, but considering you can buy a brand new 52x speed cd rewriter on ebuyer for that price , no the cdrom was not a good baragin
u can buy a 48x cd rom reader for £6 brand new
-
oh, the cdrom price is OK by me but the acceleretor.... it is an ELBOX one, an overclocked to 40MHz full 68030 but with disabled mmu (due to overclocking....)
did I pay much for this ?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5137537388&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT
Hell NO! includes a phase5 1260 and a FastATA 1200 !!! :-D :-D :-D
