You're an a*****e too buddy, and pretty low to resort to name calling (isn't that against this site's rules?).
You know everyone is entitled to an opinion no matter if yours or mine is stupid or not.
I just think the better price would be $99 not $140. its a flicker fixer newly produced, great, I would expect a better price than some old stuff you find on ebay. You pay for rarity factor there.
Anyway don't give me that no one makes a hefty profit (which is fine) on amiga hardware. Jens, amigakit all those dealers do. Jens deserves it because he has to live off it, some dealers the same. However, making larger quantities of the products would sell more at better prices of that i have no doubt. Yeah, I'd buy 2 or 3 now i'm going to buy ONLY 1. Challenge to dealers: how about making a special offer if someone wants 2 or 3 or more of those? The flicker fixer is unlike another component, it allows connection to VGA monitor. And since its internal its not easy to swap for use on another machine.
You have to remove the entire metal thing holding the powersupply and disk drives - hence one flicker fixer for only one machine (which one A2000 or A500? tough choice especially if you use A500 for gaming and A2000 for more serious stuff)
And yes for last comment: I understand Jens need to live, but make your products for the masses not the classes. Thats the old Commodore slogan. I have always supported Jens and Individual Compuers products. But in today's economic slump its pretty hard.
Wow, there are a fair few a**holes in the community. I for one think it's a great price considering the work that went into it. Jens obviously spent countless hours designing that beastie, coupled with the time it took to reverse engineer the ECS/OCS chipset (since the integral part of this design is based on his previous clone-A project)
He's fully justified in charging whatever the hell he wants for it. There's a TINY market, the guy needs to eat and fund his future ventures, and there's no way adding a minuscule markup such as $10 will _EVER_ pay off the time/labour spent on such a venture. Have you gotten off your lazy a$$ and created any new hardware for the Amiga? No, You haven't.
So, stop your damn b***ing about how "for that price it better have a builtin dong-schpedoodler", or he "Should've done x" or "Typical, he over-engineered Y and inflated the price" or "People that want to buy two cant because they'd have to trade in an arm, leg and testicle".
