Title: Crazy Ebay Sellers
Post by: Colin_Camper on January 17, 2011, 03:53:24 PM

We're all used to crazy Ebay sellers;

Like Doomys 'Military Spec' A2000 or crazy prices for accelerators.

I've never seen anything like this;

He's selling a standard DIL socket hacked from a piece of an Amiga motherboard. It looks like it was hacked by a drunk person with Parkinsons using a pair of blunt scissors.

Bizarre!
