Title: The golden Kickstart Rom
Post by: vpcs on February 26, 2005, 06:47:25 PM

It's a far cry from the $18.00 I spent on one last week.

Oh dear!  A tad expensive..

The buyer could have bought a Kickstart ROM (http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/catalog/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=kickstart) from us at a more reasonable price...

@vpcs

Wow, I'm almost tempted to put the 3.1 out of my 2000.... not :-)
But I could buy another whole 2000 (minus 3.1 maybe) for less that that.

I've thought about a set for my 4000, but it's almost
double my 2000 KS price, plus the Euro/US exchange rate,
plus shipping.... well that's beginning to approach those
ebay prices.  :-) But still why would they go ebay when
your's is a much better price. I can only guess they don't
know about places like amiga.org?

Look closer at the denominations on Amiga Kit; the prices  are not in Euro, they are British Pounds. Double the listed price and you have the U.S. dollar sale price. I purchased A4000 3.1 ROMS from Amiga Kit a couple weeks ago and they worked fine when I installed them last night. Pricey as expected in a niche market, but Amiga Kit is also 100% more customer-oriented than Vesalia.
