I sent this to the buyer...

"$365 for an A500??????
I paid $35 (yes thirty five) for a NIB A500 just like the one in this auction. It came with a NIB 1084S D2! I think you got scammed! :( :("

Bull excrement. :roll:


I would be happy to let you speak to the guy that sold it to me. An Afghanistani fellow had bought the A500/1084 combination. He soon realized the A2000 was far more expandable so he bought one and never returned the 500. He also bought some large 19" monitor for the 2000 and did not use the 1084. Anyway, the 2000 would not boot. I fixed it for him so he sold me the 500 and 1084 for $35. I have no reason to lie and nothing to prove to you

Anyhow, harassing eBay buyers like you claimed you did is childish.


A little gentle ribbing never hurt anyone! If someone would pay $365 for an A500, they deserve a little teasing!

That's not eBay, that's a local deal.


And I know better than to buy Amigas off of eBay.

While I have landed some unbelievable "private" deals over the years, I have also made some real killings on eBay too. You just need to be careful.


Most all of my deals are private deals. eBay is more trouble than it's worth.

@gdanko,

Just looking at your sig and noticed that the CD32 is missing.  I am surprised you have not picked up one of those to complete your collection of every Amiga model?

Refresh my memory of the specifications inside the A3500? Is it a desktop or tower?


I had a chance to get a boxed CD32 for $25 and waited too long. :(

3500 is a 3000T prototype.
