Viper 630 on eBay.

[gertsy]

Have a look at this Viper 630 on Aussie eBay is $157au and climbing with 3 days to go. I can believe how high its got considering a comparable A1200 accell might go for $80-90au.

BTW: No its not mine.  But If I had an a600 i'd be tempted to bid  :-D

[gertsy]

But he/or she says:
Its also the most solid and reliable 68030 available for the A600..!
 it was working perfectly prior to storage, and has been kept in its anti-static bag ever since.

So it must be good.  Surely ?  
 :-D

He's not gonna say, "it was working fine until the connector broke and I put it into storage"...   :-)

$315 and 16 Hours to go.. It's Nuts.
How would you be if you plugged the thing in and Pfftzzz.
Nothing.
Not happy... :cry:

Chill Jimbo,  
 
You're obviously an expert in the field so I bow to your superior argument, albeit requalified from the original point.

I will say, (to all the space cadets out there) if you know how to look, and you don’t fall into the common bid wars you can pick up bargains on ebay.
You need to keep your eyes open and know how to search.  
Otherwise you might get frustrated missing out all the time. Frustration leads to fear, fear leads to anger, anger leads to the dark side.

PS: You can also pick up cheap Valium on ebay.....

Brian, I wish there were more Amigans like you...

 :-D

BTW : I just realised I posted this in the wrong section. Hardware.  It should be in Market Place.
Soz for that.. :-(

BTBTW: It went for $355AU, About $450US..  Well done.

Thread closed...  :-)

Yeah, Sorry I did the reverse translation US$ to AU$ using an AU$ base. Silly me.
I was gonna edit it when I saw the mistake but you had already posted so I replied.
It's 23:40 over here & I'd just finished a nice single malt scotch on ice,,, so my bad...
I toyed with the idea of a600 but they are so "non upgradable" that I passed.  But that is the challange for some people isn't it.

 Oh so your comparing that purchase nearly two years ago to what the market is forcing today...I will say again for the space cadets in the forum, you will NOT, I REPEAT NOT purchase any form of 68030 accelerator for your Amiga 1200 for anywhere near $90AU in 2007.  Clear now!

Excuse Jimbo?  
Is $103.50AU for a Cobra 030 @ 40mhz. anywhere near $90AU ?
I would say yes:
