Which of these Cyberstorms is better?

[alexh]

It's being sold "as is" which means it's broken

That's a rather pathetic remark to post. Saying that "as is" in an auction description equals broken might be true in many cases, but not always. Not every seller is a crock, believe it or not.

Experience (especially WRT to Ebay and 2nd hand electronics) tells me otherwise.

"as is", "Sold as seen", and "Cannot test" are sure fire indicators that the item is in fact broken.

The user in this case has since added the information he should have posted in the first place. i.e. While it has no warranty it is not sold as seen, but is tested working.

Loads of people don't know how to use Amigas any more and wouldn't know where to start.

Those type of people dont tend to own high end Amiga's and things like Cyberstorm PPC cards. They own worthless 1/2 Meg A500's with an external disk drive ;-)

There is the odd occaision that people end up with high end Amiga hardware and know nothing about it, mainly because they were being thrown away by a business. But in those situations it is rare for that someone to "break" the system up and sell for parts.

I would like to see the Ebay auctions where you've bought Amiga electronic components that were sold "as is" with no indication that they were working just prior to sale.

I would especially be interested in the price of said items. I bet you didnt part with anything over £50.

But you are absolutely correct, if it is something that you want, open a dialog with the vendor.

Always trust in the "If it's too good to be true; it is!"
