Title: Alternatives to RetroPassion when it comes to cases?
Post by: Ingstein on September 29, 2025, 08:51:12 PM: Since RetroPassion doesn‘t deliver my A1200 case for months, I wonder if there‘s an alternative in the EU? Thanks!

So sorry for your loss as well. Been telling people to stay clear and so have others of the unscrupulous way that seller operates. Even has the cheek to get Amigabill to do free advertising on his YouTube channel 🙄

So a couple come to mind:

Micromiga in France:

Alinea computing in Germany

All the best…

Which case did you buy? Because they only got the white, purple and black ones in stock a couple of weeks ago.

Post by: Ingstein on October 01, 2025, 11:04:27 AM: I placed my order there at the beginning of June, believing that the goods would be available. As it later turned out, however, the goods had only been ordered in China, and at some point in September, they announced on Facebook (!) that the pallet ordered in China was now at customs. After it was cleared, they said that shipping to end customers could now begin but would take weeks. When I inquired, I received a snide reply. It may be okay for RetroPassion to take someone's money and then not deliver for months, but I'm running out of patience.

Big thread about him over here:

Just to be aware he was banned over on Amibay for scalping from others and upping prices… Enough said…
