Damn, I've heard that breaking up your Miggy get's you more money on eBay, but I assumed they meant selling things like expansion cards seperately. :-D

I'm selling off some Amigas soon (once some parts arrive for my A4000) so perhaps I should start yanking the chips out of the sockets and selling them one by one! :lol:

This is what he replied to me when I asked him some questions about his item:

Sorry, but I don't answer questions.

Oh. Really? Hmmm... can you spell seller non-performance, s****bag?

And when I put in an offer, because the dumb mother f***** has "or best offer" on his damn auctions, this is what I got:

Where do you get these numbers? 100? 200? Do you have any idea what this board is worth? Have you done any research on market value? Why would you offer less than 1/4 of my price? Have you looked at my feedback record? Your feedback scares me.

I have a bunch of things to say to him, which I will. It's funny he brings up feedback, as if that has ANYTHING to do with a buyer who's like supposed to pay! Duh.

Anyways, I'd stay away from this prick and if someone knows his whereabouts (because I'm not about to give him even a penny to find out), pleaset let me know. I'll sent him a "caustic" package to match his attitude.

Anyways, don't waste your time. His prices are outrageous, and I'm sure you won't be treated nice once you have any problem with said gaping hole.

Post by: da9000 on June 17, 2008, 07:53:39 AM: Yeah, he's insane and a rude #@#(@*(#!!@!.

Seriously, make a reasonable offer for it and see what he says... I'm curious.

Post by: Ilwrath on June 17, 2008, 12:37:25 PM: The guy is just a garden-variety nut. All his prices are schizo. Over $500 for a Mac Performa 5400 motherboard? :lol:

Post by: adonay on June 17, 2008, 12:43:21 PM: With the Dollar so low this is a fair price :lol: :lol:

Some Amiga stuff is indeed expensive but not THAT expensive.

Post by: tiffers on June 17, 2008, 02:22:27 PM: Did anyone notice the shipping cost? $54!?!?!?

Damn, I hadn't noticed the seller's "name". I bought a Simons Basic cartridge for my C128 from him back in April. It was a Buy It Now for $24.50 (which is still around half of what I originally paid for one back in the '80s) and it did show up in perfect condition.

I guess he's just an optimist. :-D

Post by: Darrin on June 17, 2008, 04:35:07 PM: I had a quick poke through the rest of his stuff...

Any VIC-20 users here? He has this:

8KB RAM cart for $25! You don't see many of them around and it's a bargain compared to the C128 keyboard he's selling and cheaper than the manual for the VIC's 5.25" floppy drive.

Post by: Terse on June 17, 2008, 05:50:42 PM: Wow. If you can get this much for breaking it down to small parts, how much should you be able to get for breaking it down even further? I'm thinking of selling pieces of my Amiga's front planel for around $243.93 for a one inch square.
