Title: GVP Impact II / HD8+ for a500
Post by: lorddef on September 27, 2009, 05:45:26 PM
I've got one of these, 8Mb ram and original 40Mb disk with scsi port on the back.

It's just gathering dust, so I'm offering it here, open to £ offers.

Can post or collection from nottingham.

I've also an a500 (with mouse + psu and a couple of external floppy drives) that can be had for free if collecting, and once the GVP is sold if I still have them I'll give them to whoever can collect.

Why would he bin it? He could sell it on eBay with ease or even in a car boot sale (swap meet).

I "bin" lots of stuff that might be worth a few bucks because I don't want to be bothered packing and shipping it, this includes the odd piece of Amiga hardware.

Being able to walk through my garage makes me happy.

Couple more loads like that out to the curb and I'll be set.

I would have given you something for that TRS-80 stuff!! And is that a 1680 modem I spy? lol

Yup, 1680, useless thing.

There's more TRS-80 stuff unfortunately, a beat up model I and III.  They're circling the "driveway dumpster" at the moment.

One man's junk is another man's treasure.  Both of my parents are pack rats so I usually go the opposite direction when it comes to saving things.  The only thing that I've kept over all these years is my A500 and 87 Scirocco 16v.  Every few years I go through my stuff and clean house.  It's nice to try and find buyers for old items but dealing with flaky people and crooks on ebay is no fun and adds unnecessary stress to one's life.

Exactly, too much hassle.

As with most old tat of this size and weight ebay normally works out a loss, and you end up better financially by binning it than selling.

Anyway I'm holding it till this Sunday then it meets mr bin, if anyone wants it then you're welcome.
