Selling my system on ebay. Sorry to see it go, but just don't use it enough to justify keeping it.

Thanks

klx300r: nobody needs to complain. just don't buy and you'll see how fast prices drop.

but prices will remain high while there are people willing to pay the asking price. it's economics 101 - whinging won't change that.

Smart move if you have a system like this to shift it quick whilst people will still pay the big bucks. Let's face it, a SAMiga has a lot more grunt for the same cash.

This is still a very nice Amiga system however. Products are worth whatever people will pay for them.

For me, Sam rules, the only other system I'd buy would be a Natami, hell, if they go for the price the developers are aiming for, I'll buy 3!! ...but they ain't here yet!

Good luck on the sale, a lot of us will be watching. :-D

Everyone complains about prices (myself included), but don't let that stop you. Don't let it go for less than you're willing to take for it.

@ arkanoid
im not complaining at all, in fact, I hope seansu gets what he asks for his system, but listening to people whine about present and future Amiga products makes me sick when the same bunch are spending like mad on vintage machines :-?

@ seansu
sorry about the hi-jack and good luck on your sale....if it doesnt sell here Im sure it will on ebay :-)

@seansu
List it at the price you think is fair. If it doesn't sell at that price then re-list it a bit lower. Alternatively list it as an auction and people will pay whatever they think it's worth. If you really can't bare to see it go for less than $x, just set a reserve.

Ditto.  I'm playing the lottery this weekend to see if it can get me a Sam without having to sell anything ;-)

Offtopic, but still strangely related: Speaking of Natami, anyone have any news there?  The latest news on natami.net is from May.
