How about this one then eh!

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BRAND-NEW-COMMODORE-1571-vintage-computer-disk-drive-for-C64-C128-/260973914340?pt=US_Vintage_Computers_Mainframes&hash=item3cc341e8e4

The price has to be a joke or is it?

This is all the same sort of thing and its a word called GREED.
Use ther word AMIGA and the sellers actualy think in there own GREEDY head that people will fall over them selvs to go out and buy it.

I hate those type of people who think that others are far to stupid as to PAY.
GREED some people over rate what they have, its a sick world we live in.
Ask a reasonable price yes of course but some of the prices are just plain GREEDY.

It makes me real sick to see it.
3 years ago I asked a seller "Hi there is the asking price correct? £350.00 for a Amiga 1200 motherboard in fair condition?" He replied by saying he will report me to eBay, but of course nothing happened. In the end the 1200 motherboard did not sell.
Why would he report me to eBay for asking a question in the first place is beyond me.
Buit I suspect some sellers are under the impression they can ask what they want for what ever they want and with no one asking "Is this right"
Stupidity and greed at its best

What gets me is the words they use like "Hard to find", "Very rare","Not many made","Once its gone its gone","Very valuable","One of a kind" and so on.
I saw a listing on an Amiga 1200 "Excellent condition white case upper and lower, Keys all in first factory condition, in supreme shape, hardly used" Actually the tope case was yellow to a degree bottom case was white, keys was well used as in the photo and dirty.

So how on Earth can the seller use such description to sell when any himan being with half decent eye sight could spot it a mile away that it was No WHERE near the condition it was stated by the seller.

I asked him that question and he threatend to report my to eBay. The reply was "please feel free and go ahead."
Well eBay did nothing to me. So for me he could stick his threat right up his CPU cooler.

I hate sellers with that attitude, my question was no way sarcastic or was deemed to be of any insult or any other so why the threat??

I just dont understand some sellers I really don't.

Mike. Partly pi***d off.
