Need I say more....
BTW anyone interested in a Picasso II+? Selling mine, 250 euro's sounds about right... :-D :-D :-D
-
Do you always sell your pieces at dumping prices ??? :lol:
-
Haha, on a serious note, the Picasso can go for somewhere in the 50 to 70 region, souns more reasonable I think.
Anyway, some prices on ebay are really getting out of hand, these VGA adaptors can be bought in germany or the UK for around 10 euro's.
71 US$ almost gets them a FlickerFixer!

The scandoubler out of my 1200 sold for something like $250 USD...needless to say I was blown away...but $70 for that adapter??? Maybe it's time to sell mine..
-
It's that gonefishing person again....who paid 100USD for 3.1 ROMs...
-
No this is what I call "gone NUTS!" http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=3545&item=8171229232&rd=1 :-o

Things are very much worth what you'll pay for them. If some idiot didn't keep handing out money, prices would get more reasonable.

You could only get near that price if it was a genuine C=390682-01; it is all about the nostalgia.
-
Hell, I have one of those. It came with my Commodore A1200HD. I'll have to check ebay and see what my stuff is worth.
-
@ Akiko
Wow and I thought it was hillaryous expensive at 90 DM (about 45 EUR) when I saw it in a store way back then.
-
I have three of this C= VGA adaptors, I'll hang on to then for 10 more years and eBay them starting at 1 cent! ;)
And what is the big hairy a$$ deal with Xenon 2? That game always fetches a lot on eBay...On all platforms. Is it that rare?
-
I'm still trying to figure out why someone paid 600+ for "The Kristal"
-
I just got that game NIB for like $15 a few weeks back! lol

hmm...I remember it has the "C=" logo on it, but I'm not sure if it's a "390682-01". Does it matter? Are there different revisions or something? I payed like $10 for it from a European company about 5 years back..
-
I haven't dealt with ebay for years, so I really taken back with these prices. I should be able to get rich off of my old Amiga parts. I wonder what a nice, classic A1000 would bring?
-
Have at least 4 and maybe 5 of these.... that price is WAY out of line...

Fair condition - $30
Perfect condition - $60
Prefect condition with origibal boxes and matched 1080 monitor - $150
...I collect only Amiga 1000 items :-)
-
Me too. Hey Kent, I want my stuff back, figure I can retire if I ebay it all!
-
I think I just went nuts! Arrghh.....

Rob,
Hey since you are a A1000 freak I need some help! I have this DKB Insider II card I have yet to install, would you happen to have the manual or install disk handy? I just need a copy of it so I can install it into my A1000. Would be nice to have 2MB RAM on that rig!

I'd say that's an accurate statement... :-o
-
Tj:
1) Yes, you are nuts. Though I know how rare that book is.
2) I did look around for any DKB stuff to help you out when you asked before, but came up empty. I have a Spirit board and could look in the case and tell you what it's lines are attached to, but I think we decided that this was different than the DKB?
Just curious - why not a SOTS expander like the C-Ltd ones you see on ebay every few weeks. There's one up there now
Amiga 1000 expander (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=4598&item=5170733097&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW)
Alternately - I get internal and external expansions all the time for the 1000. Shaf is mailing me some 1000 stuff I traded him for within the next few weeks (was delayed due to Canada customs strike) and he says there's a 2MB Comspec SOTS with that stuff. When it arrives, I'll trade you for a 16KB Atari 800 Mem cart or an Amiga 2000 battery repair job if you like.
-
Rob,
Yeah the DKB is different. Well I tell you what, if you have a extra external ram card for the A1000 I will trade you for a Atari 800 16k ram card. I have a spare one. :)
-
Since some of you have wondered why pay such a high price for a C= vga adaptor; Commodore initially released the adaptors with the A4000 but later found that the original design caused genlock problems, etc. with the Video Toaster 4000 board. I believe the -02 revision is the fix for this problem. I have a few of the earlier -01 revisions and have noticed no problems with everyday use, but then again I don't have a Toaster 4000 board. Perhaps there's a Toaster user out there who could verify this.
-
FastRobPlus I am also a A1000 nut, I have 5 of them including one in the original box that was only used a few times. I would like to add harddrives to two of my 1000's any recomends on controllers?
-
Actually,, I don't really have a preference. Almost all 1000 controllers were slap-on-the-side, so one that offers a pass-thru is really useful. One of the other users here (Shaf) gave me his A1000 gear, and among it was a controller by Comspec that aledgedly autoboots and supports KS 3.1... I have not gotten a chance to try it yet.
I would love to get a hold of a Phoenix Mobo replacement for the 1000 - this is one of the few ways I know of to get an internal SCSI controller and keep the 1000 looking totaly stock.
For nostalgia, my favorite controller was the PaloMax, which was a homebrew ISA RLL controller interface and driver. It was slow and could never autoboot, but it was all I could afford back then (and it used MFM/RLL drives!)
Realisticly, the easiest thing to get for a 1000 now is a Microbotics Starboard with the SCSI option. I see these somewhat frequently on eBay, and even see some online sellers list them from time to time.

this is also nuts from my point of view

A few guys in germany (50 I believe) got together and managed to get Phoenix to build a few extra boards (50). They were totally complete and sold for (i believe) 200 euro's. The board was complete except for the C= chips which you could pull from your A1000.... Maybe this is an idea for you? Get together a few guys that want one and get a brand spanking new one?
-
Never heard about that. Neat idea.
-
I am one of the actually 37 freaks ordering the new Phoenixboards.
One of the members of the german board amiga-news.de organized the deal. The boards are being prepaid. So far, 5 have been delivered from Australia. But please be aware that both our "Project Manager" are pretty busy doing this deal, so they have no time spare (for organizing more boards, for example ;) ).
That means, that the designer, Andrew Wilson, still has to do a lot to meet our order. After that you should have no problem to order from him:

Its a great piece of Amiga history!
Have fun,

Last time I checked, e-bay is an auction website. Therefore, it is a bidding process. Highest bidder wins! Yes, there are shill bidders and overpriced items. My experience as a seller on e-bay has been about timing. Which equates to getting the most money for your item. For example, an Amiga fan who doesn't network through websites like this one. Finds a chip or part that they need and its the only one listed at that time. Time is an issue for this buyer and Not money. They bid on it untill they win. How much money they end up spending in the end is their business. Not yours.......Move on!!!
-
Hopefully one or two of those nutters will buy some of my gear. I've just been made redundant from work and could use some beer tokens.
Find it here:

That's funny!!!!! Based on your last post, lets hope you make some money???

Loads of "watchers", not too many bids yet.
'tis early days though. :-) :pint:

XEON 2 FOR 339
Look at the feedback, the guy bid on 2 of the sellers items and refused to pay.

Hmm.. I disagree. Something is very odd about a game selling for US$500-$1000 that you can still buy from one of the online dealers for less than it's original price. That's been the case with Xenon 2 and Krytal.
...Now Turbo or Mind Walker or Ports of Call or something like that... You can't just buy these online. I can see those fetching a higher-than-new price.
I've mailed some of the winning biders of these super-priced auctions to see what motivates them to pay so much for a game. I have yet to get a reply for any of them.
I agree is isn't my business what others pay, but I'm beggining to suspect something of a hoax going on: Seller places rare-seeming collectable online, has other accounts bid the item up, and then the auction closes at an insane price. Next, he lists the same item under a different account, and sells it for much less and watches as some legit buyers bid it up fairly high, having observed how high the last one sold, and thinking how fortunate they are to be getting a crack at buying the same title a bit cheaper.
By the way, Kristal made "Retro Gamer" magazine's "Acution Watch" section. Thay called out that recent $1000+ auction and said that thier game collecting experts could find n oreason or precident for any Amiga game selling this high.
-
In reference to the game "Kristal" being sold for $1,000+. I think it's a combination of shill bidding and a buyer who has a lot of money to burn. Yes, There is some dishonesty and deceit going on within the e-bay community. But it's up the individual to use common sense. Research your sellers and buyers. If you have any doubt, contact e-bay.
-
Anyone have the link to the game that sold for $1000?
-
I do not...
I do have the issue of Retro Gamer (vol 1 issue 10)where they mention the Krystal that sold for 367 pounds. By my math that's around $700! So I was wrong about RG saying it feteched $1000 - but I'm pretty sure there's a thread here where we really did see Krystal fetch $1000.
PS Tj:
Speaking of paying way too much for something...
I bought an Amiga 1000 system that looks to have a DKB Insider RAM board. Once I get it, I'll let you know what the leads are connected too!
-
No. But there is one game that I would go nuts for. An NTSC version of the Bitmap Bros. game CADAVER. In the original box, 3.5" diskettes for the Amiga. Any sellers out there?

Ahhhh.... the box! There is nothing finer than to have the superbly, irreplaceable, useless, ...box.

And what, dear sir, have you been inhaling :-?.
-
As a collector of Amiga games. The box is the next most important item. Along, with the manual and any registration cards that haven't been mailed. It's not my fault, your ignorant. Next, time use amiga.org the way it was intended to be.

WHA???
