Title: (SOLD) Amiga 4000D PSU w/fan mods on eBay
Post by: LoadWB on March 27, 2015, 09:21:41 PM
I have put my desktop 4000 PSU up on eBay.  I replaced the original fan with a regular PC fan (the old one seized,) bypassed or removed (can't remember which) the limiting resistor so it runs full-speed, and removed the air intake grill.  This has made it much quieter even with the exhaust fins still intact.

I am not offering shipping outside of US and Canada.  It's just too much of a pain in the ass, or at least not as easy as just printing a label and sticking the box out.

Obviously reasonably priced ;)  I want to clear out stuff I'm not using without raping my fellow Amigoids.

Over the course of the couple of months I will probably have more to go.

Priced like that won't even leave a vapor trail, just the sonic boom as it disappears

About time someone did this, one gets tired of over inflated prices. The worse part is people seeing them as normal.

Define a "normal" price from an "over inflated" price taking into account availability, as inquiring minds want to know how you determine this,

Yup and if it was snagged up by a certain couple of people who shall not be named it will be right back up on Ebay for 3x the $20 :cool:

Yep, and so begins the over priced cycle. That's why I've been slowly replacing what I can with modern hardware.

ATX Adapters, USB connections etc. I'm glad Jens and a couple of other players are releasing new hardware that helps too.

I would be exceptionally pissed if any of my reasonably-priced items wind right back up for sale at ass-reaming profit, and I will quickly call said person out publicly for it and ban said person from future items.  If I have to restrict my items to AO so I can be more discriminating in order to keep people from profiteering I most certainly will.

Before the firestorm of "free market" and "capitalism" starts, I will kill it dead with the statement that there is nothing wrong with either and profiteering is neither.

The end.
