Title: Free Amiga S/W H/W - Anybody want it?
Post by: pickled_onion_man on November 13, 2003, 05:11:52 PM: Hello Amiga users! Amazed ur still going! Sad to see not much has changed since I had to defect (5-6 years ago).

I used to really be into my Amiga stuff, but sadly it all went pear shaped for Amiga (more than once) and I was forced to use PC's.

Now, I have loads of old Amiga stuff in storage I want to get rid of, including (i think):

100's of old coverdisks, with decent s/w (not just games) + cover CD's
A PPC board with '060 50mhz CPU + 64mb RAM + 603e PPC CPU (don't no what the PPC speed is) for the A1200
A A1200 motherboard (possibly the case as well)
4 way IDE splitter for A1200
Other Full price (i.e in a box) S/W
Other odds N' sods of hardware.
Old SCSI scanner with SCSI I/F

Really don't want to throw it away, so if anyone is interested in getting hold of it, let me know (I'll give it away but if you want it, you pay p+p from UK) and I'll find out exactly whats there.

You can email me direct at pickled.onions@ntlworld.com

I'M GREEDY!

Post by: Linchpin on November 13, 2003, 05:33:15 PM: Yeah, i could really do with an accelerator so if anyone gets this PPC please donate their accelerator if they got one to me please thanks lol :-)

On a serious note tho, no need to be greedy.

Damn! I think you beat me! When you say donate, does that mean a PPC? :lol:
Title: Re: Free Amiga S/W H/W - Anybody want it?
Post by: Linchpin on November 13, 2003, 05:44:22 PM: Well i have already bagged ALL donations.

My adress is.... :-)
Title: Re: Free Amiga S/W H/W - Anybody want it?
Post by: Cyberus on November 13, 2003, 05:44:25 PM: Here it's 17.08, so does that mean I can still beat you to it? ;-)

No, I'm not particularly interested. It would be nice to give the guy a bit of cash so he can get himself a couple of pints or whatever, don't you think?

@CU_Amiga
Why do you want to take the PPC board when you already have one, when there are obviously other A1200 users who don't have one? I thought this was meant to be an Amiga 'community'? :-x
Title: Re: Free Amiga S/W H/W - Anybody want it?
Post by: haymiggan on November 13, 2003, 05:45:53 PM: Well, I panicked and wrote him a quick e-mail, and the followed up with a second when i had cooled down a bit :)

I even had a friend send him two online messages on a.org !

The views skyrockted suddenly, i think it was one of the thirst 2-3 to see it for sure.

Anyway, if i get it i will definitely make a similar "post to get it" thing for something that i have in surplus, if you read my config, you can see i got quite a lot (but no PPC)...

Anyway, whoever gets this is one lucky amigan and i hope that person will cherish it...
cherish your love... etc. etc.
I FEEEL like singing!
----still no reply in inbox...grrr...

Don't suppose you'll have a spare Blizzard 1260 now :-)

Post by: amigamad on November 13, 2003, 05:48:02 PM: Im glad i have 2 ppc acelerators already i wont be greedy i dont need them but i bet you have a lot of interest from people that do. :-)
Title: Re: Free Amiga S/W H/W - Anybody want it?
Post by: haymiggan on November 13, 2003, 05:51:05 PM: AmigaMad:

I know a guy that has 3 BPPC's soon, and 2 Mediators, he actually wanted my Mediator too, but i sold that off together with my Voodoo 5500 PCI + MMCD for 80UKP (realistic Amiga price...unlike many other amiga prices) to a guy in UK. He's looking real forward to getting it :)

Hehhehe
Title: Re: Free Amiga S/W H/W - Anybody want it?
Post by: Animagic on November 13, 2003, 06:01:20 PM: IIRC, somebody was asking for a 68060 donation for an A1200 in his school, a few hours ago.

IIRC, he wanted to demonstrate the Amiga to the other students!

Don't you think that it is fair, and better for Amiga to get the board this guy?

Just made a thought.... ;-)

Post by: mantisspider on November 13, 2003, 07:24:36 PM: oooooooooooh u already sold it? damn im too slow
Title: Re: Free Amiga S/W H/W - Anybody want it?
Post by: CU_AMiGA on November 14, 2003, 12:00:17 PM: I have suddenly come under fire due to me being greedy. Let me state this:

If i get another PPC, then i will sell the other one in a similar fashion to this. The less powerful PPC :-)

@Haymiggan,

WOW! Mediator + Vodoo 5 grahics card for only £80! :-o Have you another package for me to buy ;-)

Bottom line:

I think this maybe a hoax. Some gimp has posted on here to get our attention (how could you) and this has turned into a frenzy! We should be ashamed of ourselves! :lol: Sorry if i am wrong though, just in case.
Title: Re: Free Amiga S/W H/W - Anybody want it?
Post by: LP on November 14, 2003, 12:23:38 PM: I haven't been able to get my hands on a PPC board ever :-(

This is not fair...

/end whine

Post by: odin on November 14, 2003, 02:23:57 PM: Ehm....and how many of you actually take this post seriously? I mean, 1st post....and this in the light of the recent threads about giving away stuff/asking for stuff.

I say it's a fake.

Post by: CU_AMiGA on November 14, 2003, 02:29:50 PM: Yes
Title: Re: Free Amiga S/W H/W - Anybody want it?
Post by: Cyberus on November 14, 2003, 08:18:18 PM: So has anyone got a sister that looks like Britt Ekland?
I will donate my girlfriend to someone else if I get her.

Title: Re: Free Amiga S/W H/W - Anybody want it?
Post by: pickled_onion_man on November 15, 2003, 12:01:34 AM: It's no fake, I'm too lazy to make this up. The stuff is all being stored at my aunts place and she wants it shifted. I don't have room for storage so I have to get rid of it. I really don't want to sell it (not unless someone wants to pay off my mortgage or give me a million quid).

See the new thread for the update.
