are we still sharing crazy ebay postings?

Wait, stored in a box?  And this is why it's so hard for the rest of us to find good, cheap hardware, LOL.  

Have you seen the film, "Field of Dreams?"  The quote is, "If you build it he will come."  With the Amiga you can't use the word "cheap."  Secondly the quote is, "If you pay for it, it will come."  Now you may ask why this one stays stored in its original box and isn't used?  It is a near-twin backup Amiga A4000T for the one I use all the time. This one has a 146 GB 15k U320 main drive, an SATA DVD-RW and a SCSI 3 DVD-Rom with a 128 GB SSD.

A working Commodore C65 is for auction on eBay

Holy Heck!  That's $7,422 USD!  And it really isn't useable.  I remember one going last year for over a grand on eBay, but seriously.:insane:

[danbeaver]

Well you are still correct, it is essentially useless. Just a collectors item. Just check out the collection value of the Cubist art just given to the MMoA in NY by Lawrence Lauder.

[danbeaver]

And now it is in London!!  But ships World wide as do all the other $2000 (?£2000) items on the sellers site.

I think mine was 40mhz and I had the ram fully populated. I got something like $180 for it. I meant reasonable for this seller, not reasonable in the absolute. Having the original manual and disk adds something to the value but not as much as 3 gvp simms.

Yes, that is Roberts Waters' board. I've bought stuff from him over the past couple of years and he is very thorough (OCD?) with his sales. Items are always "good as new" and as complete as he can get them. I guess you pay more for his reputation. You know, "straight shooter, white hat of the old west."

How funny!  I mean how rare is it to find an Apple II in the garbage?  No, I mean, aren't they commonly found in the...   No, that's not it either.

It is a good solid 8-bit computer; very expandable and used is academic, work place, and in recreational settings. No well equipped lab circa 1980 would be without one and with VisiCalc it helped to change a paradigm.

But Dude, did you Google anything but porn?  Rare?  Worth 5 Grand?

Same thing is on amibay
 
crazy !

Yes and from a "VIP" member who sells so much stuff he ought to be labeled a Trader.

The is an A3000T, CSPPC and CVPPC all listed on eBay starting at $1 each; now this will be crazy!

[danbeaver]

Could have been the Ultimate A4000T guy phishing for a sucker.

[danbeaver]

I had the Cybervision PPC on my watch list. The seller probably got a fat offer for the combo through eBay messaging. It was nice, including the documentation.

The ultimate A4000T is just one of many things the fraudsters list when a seller account gets hacked, mostly vintage fender and gibson guitars. I saw something on TV about a place in Romania where the hackers targetting eBay operate. Could be the source of this.

Don't know but the English he used was very American mid-west.

[danbeaver]

No he didn't write like either Alan Rickman nor Bruce Willis, nor like an Eastern European gangsta' more like Minnesota dude.

[danbeaver]

Very good information folks. I learn more about eBay every day.  It really is a black hole for many of us.

[danbeaver]

Well, he could have left it in the sun!  I do wonder who (or what) his target audience is: those cretins who spend their evenings sitting in lawn chairs in their garage?

[danbeaver]

No, the idiot is the buyer; but with free shipping for a page torn from a magazine, it may be a bargain.

[danbeaver]

Easily taken care of with a diaper.  :sealed:

A very large diaper (Depends)!

[danbeaver]

Here's a good one....I thought it was crazy and then I saw that it has a grafx card, toaster, and something else(can't tell).
 
Then I realized it was crazy again when I saw the description..
 
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Commodore-Amiga-2000-HD-/130927097472?pt=US_Vintage_Computers_Mainframes&hash=item1e7bdcf680#ht_62wt_1161

From the HDD you can tell that it is attached to a A2090 MFM/SCSI controller, and the far right card is  a KitchenSync card without the cables/connectors. I'm guessing there is an accelerator card in there too.  Granted all that and the control and connector box for the KitchenSync come with it, it might fetch $600+.
