What is the Ebay value of...?
« on: May 28, 2012, 09:11:30 PM »
Having recently entered the world of joblessness, I feel I must begin to part with a few things that I am currently not using.

I know it is a bit evil to post items on Ebay (where they generally sell for more) rather than offer to them to the community directly through Amibay, but I'm hard up atm.

What I a wondering is what the Ebay value of an A2000 case with power, CD-ROM, and two floppy drives might be. The 2000 itself has been extracted due to the fact that it died because of battery damage.

I also have an 8MB Memory board, as well as a SCSI card for Hard Drives.

Any ideas?

Thank you!

...and Nostalgiac was suggesting to trash the case...


Both of you are EVIL, that's all I'm saying! ;)

Actually, if there was some MorphOS hardware I could squeeze inside there, then I wouldn't feel so dirty. :)

This is one of the problems with people checking prices on ebay. That (and MANY other sales) are what the sellers are asking - NOT WHAT IT SOLD IT FOR! That price means nothing! Look at what things actually sell for to get a real idea. No wonder you all complain about ebay.


I think he was referring to the idea of putting a PC in a 2000 case.

I'd say the SCSI card is worth double that. (If its in us dollars that is)

But the bottom line is with an auction, its only what people are willing to pay. Many people have the illusion that items go for high prices all the time when the reality is that sometimes it goes for less than thought. It all depends. Every auction is different. Sometimes you get guys that just want the item as they have been looking for it for years and they go into a bid war. (happened to me when I got in a bidding war for a Live! 2000 board years ago!)


Hmm, maybe I should insert death threats in my postings then. PAY HIGH PRICES OR DIE!!

And so on. :)

'scuse me. I thought the link to ebay had been picked up as well - my bad.


I dunno, maybe we should grab some fuel, some torches, and hunt him down. I'm bored and am game, how about you?!?! :)
