Title: Amiga dealers in Australia?
Post by: realmadman on March 18, 2006, 06:03:03 AM

Anybody know if there are any?  Preferably in Melbourne, Victoria.  I need a new floppy drive and a few other things for my A4000/040

I've used Amiga Innovations before.  It's a one man operation.  He was operating from his house, which was not far from mine, in Perth.  He is (was?) a friend of a close friend of mine.

He was very straight forward to deal with: honest, open, and no troubles.  However, I have to say he really didn't show a lot of interest in customer service.

His range of products is ever decreasing, and his old (even second hand) product prices haven't ever dropped, to my knowledge.  Mostly I think he is overpriced (no I'm not complaining, just a considered opinion).

I also asked him for a quote on some PC trouble shooting, as a technician, but he wanted to charge $120 per hour, in about 1996.  Well, that certainly gave me motivation to go and learn some more computing skills of my own.

I wouldn't be too concerned about using only local dealers.  Better to just get a good, and legitimate deal.

We have brand new floppy disk drives (http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=106) complete with cable in stock now if you  cannot find one for your Amiga.

Of course, we ship all over the world :-)
