Hmmm... How many are actually being sold for that price?

And wouldn't the shipping be astronomical?

I guess some "new old stock" CD32s had to be somewhere!

I wonder if someone broke these out of the mythical warehouse in the Philipines?

Left over stock from the Philippines manufacturing plant?  I gather it was something of a free-for-all when C= died and lots of stock just 'disappeared' or was taken in lieu of debts.

What?! Only EUR 105 (US $125) for 8xCD32? :-o Wow, that's what I call the bargain of the year! :-D Hmmm, wait a minute...Ah, I see, the price is only for 1 CD32 :lol: ;-)

Wonder if they're PAL or NTSC...

Is that a dodgy CDR he's selling?

Hmmmmmmmmmm tempting, very tempting. First thought it said US$1000 for 8, but that basically comes down to 125 a piece...

Unfortunatly they are NTSC/110V if I can decipher properly...

The ????s are your web browser's attempt to display Chinese characters, at a guess!

I asked the seller. It is NTSC:
"Hello,this CD32 is NTSC.
My MSN is:ken16888@163.com"

Well...I've looked at the item and the picture with the stack of boxes.  I'm impressed.  Ken looks to have gotten a pile of CD32s.  He has a rather good report, from the translations I can see, as a seller.  

The kicker is, as always, shipping.  I was quoted 1700 RMB to ship...this converts to $213ish to get it to Northern CA from China.  $213 + $124 means a new CD32 for $337 delivered.  Tempting, but I've spent way too much this month on a NOS A1200.  I'm gonna have to pass.....perhaps theres a Chinese factory cranking out counterfits?

If they`re cranking out AGA chips then let them ;o)

I was thinking the same thing!  I bet it's just NOS though that someone has been sitting on for 10+ years. Still, that's pretty cool:-D
