There's a forum for recommended dealers but not one for
recommended Amiga Org members so I hope this is the right
place for this message. If you ever get the chance to
do business with John Konstantine count your blessings
and proceed without worry. He's an honest person and a
pleasure to do business with.

Is this a joke? "BR" has no information about who he/she is in his/her profile and could be John Konstantine himself.
That name sounds familiar, but I can't remember why.
Does anyone else know anything about this John Konstantine or BR?
Don't get me wrong, I am not against the idea of members giving other members good references, as it has been done many times in the past, but this is just a bit different than what I have seen in the past.

Isn't John Konstantine a Keanu Reeves character?

Ugh! He ruined that franchise. John Constantine is a character from a DC/Vertigo comic called Hell Blazer. Never once did that character go "Whoa!" in the comic book. :madashell:

I was once in a band with someone called John Constantine.

Exactly, movie characters are always to deal with than real people. Neo was selling a 600, Ialmost bought it but I was outbid by Donnie Barksdale and Shane Falco...

No joke. BR is my initials and I think "jkonstan" is
how he is addressed in posts and responses.

I hope you get a response to this. I'm always eager to
learn more about me. >:)

Sorry. I didn't realize there was a specific area for it,
which has been mentioned. And "just a bit different" is
a pretty accurate description. >:)

Different spelling but if you say he's a good guy,
I'll take your word for it. >:)

I am John Konstantine (with a "K" not a "C"), and I have never been in a band. Bob and I are different people from different states in the USA. It was very nice of Bob to say some kind words about me. He is also a really good/honest guy to give me an A3000T for the cost of shipping after I told him that I would give the A3000T a good home. Bob is also an honest person and a pleasure to do business with.
I have been an Amiga.org member for a couple of years now. I have purchased quite a few VIC-20/C64/Amiga items from other Amiga.org members such as eslapion,lj535i, wa9yoz, BR, and others. Too bad that there is not a feedback system for Amiga.org members who conduct business on buying/selling Amiga parts.
I like retrocomputing (C64s,Amigas, and FPGAs Verilog & VHDL) and hardware design. I have spent a fair amount of my hobby free time lately working with different sets of FPGA code in different FPGA evaluation boards for retrocomputing. I am a pretty decent embedded hardware design engineer and may at some point try to add some enhancements to MiniMIG.

It's easy to say good things about people like you John.
You put more effort in keeping things positive then looking
for negatives. You are far more involved with retro computing/computing then I am. An older brother dropped
off an A500 years ago and since then Amiga's have been
1 of a few hobby's. I'm a "stay at home" Dad with 2
boy's and a wife. This June will be the 30th year she's putting up with me. The A500 led to an A2000 which led
to an A4000 desktop which I towerized a year or so ago.
I really didn't start to fully appreciate Amiga's until
my wife got an HP Windows XP system about 2 years ago.
Time spent on it can be a nightmare. Time spent on my
Amiga is almost always fun. Hopefully from now on
there wont be any questions about our individuality
or gender or motives. I'm here to learn things, help
when I can, and try to have fun and I think it's safe to
assume the same is true for you.

You mean Starke? :lol:
On topic: I have dealt with BinoX a few times. I sold him about 4 Amigas and quite a few other things, and I bought a Cyberstorm MkIII from him. He really is a top guy, both to deal with and to talk to. If you ever see him selling something that you want, don't hesitate!
Apart from BinoX I have dealt with quite a few other a.org members, being both seller and buyer of items, and I haven't had any trouble thusfar with anyone.

Yup! Done business with John Konstantine & looking forward for more.
Excellent person to deal with!. I am; Tony Bodo, licensed
radio amateur since 1960; presently as WA9YOZ living in Lake Station,
Indiana!
Y'all take care now, ya here?....

Hi,
I've dealt with Ryu many years back thru Amibench. I bought from him 21 titles of CD32 games - sent all the way from UK to Singapore. No problem at all. (I've passed on the discs to my 6-year-old son, who enjoys the games a lot.)
From time to time i sent him emails, for advice or just greeting, to which he also replied with much enthusiasm.
Cheers!

I dealt with Effy, Countzero, Motrucker and Adonay.
Good persons, great dealers (even when no money is involved).
Also Colany and DA9000 are people I found here and help me a lot.
Thanks to all you guys!
