Title: Free stuff! Pickup only.
Post by: xeron on January 16, 2010, 04:11:30 PM
I'm giving away stuff.. I don't use it, its taking up space, its got to go. Its pick-up only from Weston-Super-Mare in the UK. If nobody takes it, its going in the bin.

(I will be adding more items to this thread, i have a lot to sort through)

* Aminet CDs 22 to 52, all in good condition in their cases. I won't split these.
* EPIC Interactive Encyclopedia 1997
* A bunch of assorted Amiga Format and CU Amiga cover CDs
* A "kicksoft" copy of drawstudio. I don't have the case for it any more, just the CD.
* An original copy of MakeCD 3.2 including manual (its freeware now anyway, but i figure someone might want it)
* "Total Amiga Assembler" paperback book by Paul Overaa
* A graffiti chunky display adaptor. I've never used it so I have no idea if it works.

More stuff:

* Elbox ATX to AT power supply adaptor (I think its for one of their D/Box towers. I bought it for a project and never used it)
* An ATX power supply with external AC-DC adaptor (its for mini-itx boards originally).
* A laptop CD-Rom with mini IDE to normal 40-pin IDE adaptor attached
* A UW-SCSI to 50-pin SCSI adaptor
* Elbox A1200 keyboard adaptor (works with A2000 keyboards, or PC-AT DIN style. Or, with a standard adaptor, A4000 keyboards, or PC PS/2. I've only ever used it with Amiga keyboards).

BTW, would anyone mind if I added some stuff that is totally non-amiga related to this thread? Old games consoles, that kind of thing?

Seeing as you're giving it away, I don't see why not.

IMHO, you should consider ebaying some of that.

I would but I'm sick of eBaying stuff. Too much hassle.

I know you stated pickup only, but if you wouldn't mind shipping, then I'll take the Aminet CDs (then I'll only have to look for Aminet 1 and 2 to have a complete collection). I'll pay all shipping costs as well as a little extra for the trouble of packing it down. Also looking for  CU SuperCDs if you have any of these.

If no-one offers to collect them, i'll consider it, but i would really rather save myself the hassle.

Thanks, but you would really make my day if you would ship it, so I can get a complete collection, except the two first ones :-)

Aaaahhhh, go onnnnn..... go on, do it for dr q... he's a complete nutter for Amiga'n'all...

You know he'll love you to bits for ever'n'ever'n'stuff...

It's still New Year (isn't it?) ... and it's Dr Q. He's been here for years! :)




Ed: and it's either the last year of the old decade or the first year of a new one, whichever way you look at it. If that's not a good enough reason then I don't know what is.)

If you consider shipping i'm interested about:
A graffiti chunky display adaptor. I've never used it so I have no idea if it works.

Perhaps Craigslist? (http://craigslist.co.uk/) Some ppl. have gotten rid of Amiga stuff there in the past. (I even got hooked up with an almost mint condition stock A1200 there! Guy was clearing outhis house, and getting rid of alot of "junk". Spent the 2 hour drive in the passenger seat drooling over the floppy colletion alone!)

Craigslist is US only, AFAIK. Edit: Oh I see they've branched out. Anyway, freecycle is more popular and there is one more local to me as well.

I'm going to post all this to freecycle, and my old local usergroup list (usergroup is dead, list still has some subscribers).

I really, really don't want to ship anything.

Hi Xeron,

I would be quiet interested in the Atx adapter, keyboard adapter, psu, and some of the cd's

as a favour to the guys asking for stuff to be shipped, I'm happy to get stuff collected and ship to them if they'll pay for shipping...

My dad is in Bristol this week and may be willing to collect if you still have the items available?

I hope nobody takes offence at me slightly hijacking the thread, but I don't suppose anyone has an empty A1200 tower case they are looking to sell?

Thanks

Mike

mikedouble:
I got Infinitiv tower. No psu, some cuts on back for mediator cards (means seen better days). But should still be perfectly usable.

@mikedouble

That sounds great, thanks. Of course I'll pay shipping, so send me a PM when you have collected the stuff and we can sort it out.

OK, well, anyone who wants to collect this stuff email me at pete _at_ petergordon _dot_ org _dot_ uk (preferred), or PM me.

I could make good use of the Vidi-Amiga 12. Will pay for shipping if that can be arranged.

You are right. Thanks. I did mistaken January 2010 for January 2011. Probably blinded by the possibility of getting free stuff.. :)
