Nice Amiga 500 for sale

[Holley]

Doomy - you've posted these in the general forum :smack:

[Holley]

Yes, but they really belong in the ebay forum with a moniker of 'before ebay' or something ;-)

[Holley]

Yeah, for private sales the Ebay forum is quite slack, and a better place than general.

I'd suggest if Doomy (or anyone else) is going to be buying and selling they could put items on their own site and link to it (like Wierdami & Lemmink have done), thus seperating it from AO (which was the point of making the classifieds 'on ebay').

You forgot the CD32 :-D

Anyway, thats your opinion, and you're entitled to that.  Some people get rubbed up the wrong way because they like the models you don't, and the way some of your comments have been phrased in the past have come accross as hostile.

Shal we say there are good and bad points to all circuitboards, and leave it at that?

[Holley]

His reasoning being because it has a surface mount motherboard.

TBH I can see what he's getting at, compared to earlier big boxes the A4000 was more technically advanced, but physically it wasn't so well finished (thinner metal, cheaper plastic moulding on the front, plastic memory clips etc).

Obviously this doesn't matter to most people, who are more concerned about the machines capabilities, but it does to Doomy.

As for me, I love my A3000 as it is, but if I had an A4000 I'd want to put it in a nicer case (though that'd be plenty enough for me).

In older pin-though amigas if a chip pops outta it's socket you can push it back in.  If it has a dry most of the time you can just freshen it up with a quick dab of the soldering iron.

With surface mount, dry joints can be more of a pain (especially when resistors fall off altogether).  It's only more reliable in the short term ;-)

Just working on your image, Doomy ;-)

[Holley]

Seems they're not worth much as most collectors already have one and retro gamers are all looking for A1200s.

What kinda memory expansion is it, mad? :-D

[Holley]

Doomy - State of the Art won't work on it ;-)
