Why even bother. I bought one of those with a monitor brand new in 1985 and it was about the same price.

He sure is arrogant! :p


But unfortunately he's right.  Previous one sold for a pretty amount. Supply and demand folks.
The point is attention drives the price. Ignore him and if it doesn't sell. It'll come down. Give interest and attention and it'll stay at that price.

Because "too fast" is a matter of opinion. His/her experience/opinion may be that items that take 3 months to sell are sold at a price that "they are worth" - because by then the market has had the opportunity to value the items at it's maximum (read: sold at the highest possible price for the seller), even if, in most other peoples opinion, they are asking "too much".


+1, that was my understanding of what he meant by too fast. First listing.  There was a guy o'er in Oz selling a vanilla A2000 for $499 listed for over 18 months ago, he's stopped listing it now, so I'm guessing it sold.  Time isn't important for these people, it's the price you can get for product.  Personally I'd care more about the home the unit was going to and the fact that it would be looked after.  I'd get more joy giving away one of my A500's to someone who would give it a new lease on life rather than make $ on it.  But then again I don't need the money or the income supplementation. Other people do this as a business.
The market rules the price. Aside: The Scotts and Yankees started this whole business off in the 1700s with tobacco.

@psxphill: The A4000 went for $790.  We might think that's ludicrous.  I kinda do, but for a fastidious collector it might have had all the right elements.  Obviously at least 2 of them thought it did.  Either that or there was a phantom in there.

Also I don't think you compare a Indvision with an a2320. One is vintage the other new,ish.

Having said that you can get this one for $160 au: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Amiga-2000-2320-Amber-card-P-/200905030438?pt=AU_Computers_Vintage&hash=item2ec6df7b26

No idea. I either "buy it now" or snipe if the price is still acceptable.

At a wild guess, I think whoever won it then told his wife who spotted what he was about to pay for it, shot him and then contacted the sell to say that he no longer needed it.  :D


No, she shot me and I still had to get online and retract the bid, and then clean the blood off the floor and keyboard.

Wait..that was you who have put 2,500 for the card and you retracted your bid? If so, did you change your mind because of the posting here in the forum saying that with that money you could have bought X1000 over an old and outdated technology like that PPC card?


Nah, you're confusing me with someone else. And I was joking anyway. The rumours of my death were greatly exaggerated.
I saw it when it was at $2k already. Didn't place a bid. I reckon Id pay $900 though. But that would be my limit.

Did you see the price he has for shipping. And after the movie comes out it will be worth $10k wink wink. That's not a wink buddy that's a twitch!
LOL

I didn't know Atari made Amiga 500's?! :lol: :insane:

http://www.ebay.de/itm/Atari-Amiga-500-/281433795306?pt=Klassische_Computer&hash=item4186c2eaea


Me neither.   But clearly the Atari version is only worth one Euro. :)

UK Guys.  Remember the second Oric 8 bit.  the Oric Atmos.
It's held its value well. I always thought it was a great looking machine and envied its keyboard: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/RARE-ORIC-ATMOS-48K-ORIGINAL-BOX-FOAMS-MANUAL-TAPES-ETC-/311390206334?nma=true&si=Zga0vbr5dNUonjQJRDqgYQb3Ba8%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
