DIBS! I may be seriously interested in the white XE! Any pics you can PM to me? What's the case condition? Operational? OS4 included?

SCHWEEEEEEEEEEEEEET! Does it boot up and include all the peripherals and you have the OS4 license key? Keyboard & Mouse? IOW, all the goodies? :) You guys are in Chicago.. right?

It comes with a rare NewTek keyboard and wireless mouse. We will have to hunt around for the OS4 CD-ROM. It also has a 30 day no DOA return policy and a 90 day warranty.

If case is nice and all is well and you find the CD & key we got a deal! :banana:
 
This will allow me to bang away, experiment and learn OS4 better without fear of screwing up my new Sam460!

Hmm, tempted for a white amigaone, would sell my collection for that :-) Not that it's a huge collection but only way I could afford $400 (USD I'm guessing +shipping?) :-)

Would love some photos of them :-)

PS Would chuck in a lifetime membership too ;-)

I didn't make clear enough that I wanted the white AmigaOne XE? I thought maybe you would have PM'ed me with particulars to get it in my hands. My mistake. Well, $369.00 is even better! What do I need to do?
 
Persia said he would take the black XE.....
 
Has Transition's acct been hacked?
 
Rog............
 
Hey Transition.... better yet PM your phone number to me and I'll call you! :-)

Title: Re: Used Amiga Sales

Yeah, really want that 4000.  Is there something specific you need to do to actual buy it besides saying I want it (as I've mentioned twice now, including the initial post I made were I thought it was an April Fool's joke)?

I am just scared that the way this is being posted there is no security or guarantee that we will receive this item, not a joke, or scam. Is it possible to rest ease minds of people by actually physically, posting the items in eBay (even if it means fees and expense from both ends) with the price set tag for the items.
 
If we are to do it here, the person who is going to transfer the money is going to be taking a big huge risk. Thanks in advance.

What about shipping cost? Is shipping included in the price mentioned? PLEASE, PLEASE use UPS!!!
No problem using Paypal to transfer funds?
Could you at least reassure me that the white case is somewhat minty and did you find the OS4 CD and Key? That is all.... :)

Ah well tired of playing this game, voiced interest and it was made as a "window shop" Plus no photos being put forward. TBH getting tired of this site. My favourite amiga haunt sad days.
Title: Re: Used Amiga Sales
Post by: Bigbronc on April 03, 2012, 12:00:46 PM
I know what you mean. I tried to ask a few questions, could I see it want is in it etc, but all I get is send the money I am to important  to anwser questions, just send my money. I ask my wife because I want a A4000. She said your going to send money to the poeople whe never sent out the contest prizes. I wrote about that and got the same reply. It must take a lot of work to ship stuff out were ever this busy place is. Good bye Amiga.org this place has very nice people who visit here and it is run by a bunch of hustlers who think they can just do what they want, keep it up and maybe those desperate pleas for money will hold you over for another few monthes and then you will bail on the lifetime members too.
Title: Re: Used Amiga Sales
Post by: chfriend on April 03, 2012, 12:11:35 PM
You got further than I did.  I private messaged transition and emailed sales@discreetfx.com and all I got was a reply from DiscreetFX saying they'd "look into it".
Title: Re: Used Amiga Sales
Post by: SysAdmin on April 03, 2012, 01:03:20 PM
Sorry for the late reply, busy day yesterday. Someone bought the white AmigaOne and A4000D but Paypal has the payment on temporary hold while they verify it. Silver AmigaOne and Dual 2.5 Ghz PowerMac still available. Sorry to offend you Bigbronc, just a busy day yesterday.

Sorry you missed out on the A4000 Bigbronc, we will be sending you a free Amiga Video Toaster 4000.

Was this some sort of joke/trolling? if so I didn't see the funny side.
I'd like to think that accounts had been hacked and this was b/s because dangling carrots to genuine people then saying ' oh sorry I've been busy but please blindly send payment to this address' is ridiculous!
 If it is genuine, then admin has handled this VERY badly! at least let people know what's happening in the thread or via PM.
 I don't normally ever rant, but this has annoyed me. I really don't get it.
Title: Re: Used Amiga Sales
Post by: chfriend on April 04, 2012, 12:29:28 AM
Agreed.  This was either a poorly executed joke or just poorly executed.  Either way there's no excuse for handling the sale of anything this way.

Why is everyone so mad in this thread? I though the offer was legit..
Title: Re: Used Amiga Sales
Post by: Bigbronc on April 04, 2012, 02:16:04 AM
I have a great idea, put that toaster 4000 in the A4000 and ship it to me . Let me play with it for a few days, clean it up etc. then I will send you the money for the setup. I know it is still laying around because you guys take weeks to ship anything. Also could you send the millennium program, I was all worked up that I was getting a copy, do I get a copy of the program Aladdin 4.0 also. I saw on e bay someone was selling it for $15 dollars with the books. Is that what I won? nobody has told me. I was really excited about getting a upgrade to my toaster tools. Hell, if you guys really don't have the stuff and just wanted to have a contest, that's ok. Can I announce something that people might inquire about and never reply or act upon. Someone had wrote about just creating buzz, I thought it was real. Silly me. I remember Franko had a contest to give away memberships, the thing that got me at the time was that he sent the prize and followed up on his word. Hummm maybe that is why he is banned.:huh:

You still need Aladdin 4D? That is an Instant Download, e-mail us and you will get  download FTP access ASAP. So you don't want the free Video Toaster 4000?

OK Tedd, now this is just getting silly.
I'll buy a SAM460ex and forgo the AmigaOne (although if it was a G3 or G4...).

Hey April 1st was two days ago.

For those sad they missed out on this sale we should have more systems soon, maybe a month or two.

Well, I know I'll never try to win your rigged lottery again! Apparently I don't know the secret rules! No response to my posts, no PM, no way to get additional info, no nothin! Why bother to hawk your wares publicly if you're going to ignore the responses?

We are droppIng the price of the G5 Dual 2.5 Ghz PowerMac to $399 and adding a Pegasus II system for $749. Gizmodo350 has first dibbs on that system. It's newer than a AmugaOne and runs MorphOS or AmigaOS 4.1. The G5 PowerMac could be a nice future machine for MorphOS.
Title: Re: Used Amiga Sales
Post by: chfriend on April 04, 2012, 01:04:48 PM
Let's see, no one has stepped up to say they sent money for any of these machines but they've been "sold".  I still say this whole thing has a poorly executed joke, which wasn't very funny.  This is a shame, because I noticed that DiscreetFX had Video Toaster Flyer's available and was probably going to buy one within a couple of months.

I won't fall for this trap again.
