Nah, one person complained unjustified. Junk I have never sold.

Yes, you have gotten something messed up. I sold him a system, with the battery removed and damaged clock circuit. I made him aware of that at least a couple of times already before he bought the setup.

Why make judgment on "something" you have heard, and put me in a bad light without no reason and no personal experience? And focusing on one persons unjustified attack and forget about the positive feedback in the exact same thread? I have never forced anyone to buy anything from me, and never will.

Don't be sorry that you don't buy anything from me, you won't be missed.

I just don't get it. If he was aware of the problems with your hardware, why did he complain when he received the goods?
That seems weird.


Your guess is as good as mine. He bought the setup where the motherboard was fixed at Amiga Repair Center in France (except the clock circuit problem was not fixed). After he busted the first mortherboard in an attept to replace a chip, he bought a replacement motherboard with the same error. Both had the clock circuit problem, and he was aware of it, and was made aware of it before purchasing. A year after he bought the setup, he posted a personal attack on a public danish Amiga forum. My best guess as to why he did it was because he was upset that he couldn't buy a CSMK3 and a CV64/3D for around 100 USD from me.

Seriously, I doubt you have lost any potential customer. With almost 1,300 written messages on the forum, you are well known. I am sorry that I wrote, it was not meant as an attack. If you feel that I have done you any wrong I apologize. It started out as a joke.


You can never know. You have heard "something" that happend on a public danish forum, so by that you judge me, based on one person badmouthing me. In the same thread there are at least 5 other people giving me positive feedback, but these things is something you haven't heard of. The same thing will happend now; the 1 negative thread available, ruin at least 10 positive. People focus on the negative and not on the positive. In the end it's a pretty bad joke if you ask me.

So, you are saying you do sell junk Amiga equipment. Do I smell Retrogeek, *lol*

After being burned to many times I have completely stopped buying used hardware.


No, I say that because I'm not interested in dealing with people that already have a negative attitude towards me. Sorry for you being burned when buying used hardware, it happens for everyone, my self included.

So, you just sell your busted hardware to someone else.


Why are you twisting my words? By being burned I mean loosing money on equipment that never shows up, but we apparently have a different view on being burned. Bottem line, I don't sell busted hardware.

Last year, I paid good money for a motherboard, that was supposed to work. Similar listed like yours
Quote
'as working, no further testing has been made' (from your web page)
 and when the board arrived, it looked like someone had spilled a coke on it. It did not work, no refund. I still have the board.


Well, sorry for your misfortune, but what has that got to do with me? You are taking things out of a context so it matches what you want to say, instead of dealing with the facts. In fact it looks like the same method as the one badmouthing me on the danish forum used. The quote you are refering too is like this

Quote

Shows up in early boot menu as working, no further testing has been made.


I have had the card plugged into my Amiga, looked if it was listed as defective or not in the early boot menu, and not done any further testing as I have plenty of other things to do, than testing equipment I originally listed for sale for 15 EURO. I'm selling it as is on ebay, because the card is untested, and not because it's dead.

In case the board doesn't sell on ebay, the card is binned, as I have nothing to use it for, as software emulation is faster on my machines than the chip on the emulator board can provide.

Quote

"Can't we just all get along" and not sell busted hardware to each other?


Who are selling busted hardware?

Anyway, since you are just twisting words and are taking things out of context, I see no point in discussing it further.

Thanks for the support.

Why Amiga Center was not able to fix it, I don't know...


I was wondering that myself when I got the boards home. Only thing that changed was that the Save button in the Time prefs wasn't ghosted any longer, and apparently that was seen as a working clock circuit at Amiga Repair Center.

What's that got to do with it? Now you are taking statements from other people, with actions I have done, and ask if you are twisting my words again. What's the point in that, when it's not even my statement?

I bought a DVD with scans of danish Amiga magazines that doesn't exist any longer, but that will be my own headache in case the copyright holders go after me. But what that has got to do with your first accusations of me selling busted hardware, I honestly can't see.

Please, if you want to discuss it further, create a thread with your personal vendetta, instead of taking of focus from the original posters questions as this is completely off topic.
