Title: skewed pricing or greedy speculator? Your call.
Post by: Amiduffer on May 30, 2007, 08:17:08 PM

Craigslist sale in San Jose LINK (http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/sys/341004919.html)

I thought it amusing that this guy is selling P3 and P2 PCs for nothing practically and is selling a stock A2000 (probably with 2091 card) for $300.  :lol:

Probably just doesn't know the Amiga market well. And he lives in the tech center of the universe where he's practicly drowning in surplus technology. The A2000 is probably just a blip in his conciousness.It looks like he has a lot of stuff he wants to get rid of and a vague idea that the A2000 is worth more than the PCs. He'll problably accept a much lower offer--especially after a couple of weeks have gone by.  

I'd like to go garage saling in San Jose sometime.I spent a couple of months in the Bay Area last year and just about paid for the whole trip by buying Mac stuff at garage sales and thrift stores and from Craigslist and reselling it on Ebay. And I missed out on an A2000 for $20 while I was there just because traffic delayed me 10 minutes too long.

LOL funny tho that he prices the 2000 so much higher than the rest, maybe he's a Amiga lover on the inside  :-D .  The game on the monitor, the Rally one, man i used to love that game.
