DCE FlickerFixer.....( NOS or in production)

[Doppie1200]

Hi all,

Awhile ago I ordered a DCE Flicker Fixer from vesalia.
I prepaid my order (yep, I trust them) and all is well I suppose.

Unfortunatly I received an email my order did not ship yet.
The DCE Flicker fixer was out of stock.
They would ship as soon as they got new ones.
Fine, but I paid for the order the 19th of July. So it has been well over a month now.

Basically Vesalia states; we are hoping they'll be produced soon.

I know how annoying it is for a company to be dependant of other parties delivering things. So I understand vesalia's position. What you don't have you can't ship.

But now from my point of view. For a customer who ordered something it is strange to hear; 'we havent got your item and we hope it will be produced soon'.

Sure, for a spare part for a modern car that is ok.
But what about those flicker fixers. There is no huge market left. Just the people who still have the Amiga as hobby. So are they still being produced? I thought most hardware would be NOS by now.

What do you think?

Maybe I should ask my money back.
I see amiga superbit does still have external units on their site. Perhaps it's better to contact them.

For the time being I wait for reply from vesalia. They are very responsive lately since I use ORDER as topic

How you do that on ebay then? Pay on arrival or something? I order lots of stuff prepaid from serious legit companies. I thought vesalia was one of those, am I wrong?

The story unfolds;

Versalia emailed me yesterday they 'found' a flicker fixer.
(I wonder where they found it)

It's coming my way and soon (when I find time) I can start the fun by builing it into my amiga.

So....still sort of thumbs up for vesalia who took the trouble to find me a flicker fixer during their summer holiday.
