One thing has me puzzled thou and excuse me if I haven't quite understood this but why would you pull out a perfectly working Picasso IV card with Flicker ficker attached to replace it with one you bought off eBay without flicker fixer only to sell the original Picasso IV on eBay without flicker fixer as untested?

The PIV board was bought on ebay and completed with the dongle from the card in my cabinet (as in this system FliFi/ScanDo was needed and I thought the dongle was only user for this). A few weeks after (watch the timeline please) I did offer my PIV in good faith.

I have to clear a lot of things at the moment and do sell the doublettes of my collection. The cause for this is very personal

Yes we get all that, but why did you need to buy a another PIV without FF if you already had one with a FF?

So I am all clear on this.

1. You had a Picasso IV card with FF installed in your Amiga.
2. You decide to buy one off eBay that doesn't have a FF
3. You take out the prefectly working PIV and replace it with the one you bought off eBay
4. You sell the Picasso IV mentioned in point 1 some weeks later on eBay which I end up with?

That doesn't make any sense and you haven't really answered that question or responded to my emails or given me the A4000 solution!

You have stated "I have a lot of amiga-friends and maybe I can get this" which I assume means you might be able to get me a VillageTronic Picasso IV Flicker fixer.

Not entirely sure that would even be possible?

Still waiting :cry:

Answered in email again!

As a seller, I think this truly indicates a form of "blind" bad faith on your part.

I truly think it should have been your responsibility to know that the card you auctioned is useless without the dongle.

It is as if I sold a pair of ROM 3.1 chips for the Amiga 4000 but one in one auction and the other chip in another auction and just played dumb as if I didn't know that one is totally useless without the other.

Well, I am not playing dumb, I just did not know (as James also did not). I solt the card explicitly without functioning garuantee, because I wanted to have it out of my way.
Everybody who bids on such auctions should be aware. James got the card for a fracture of the possible worth, that should be taking into calculation.

For the card not working without the dongle I see it as a failure on both sides (but that is just my point of view).

I got it for 40 euro more than you paid for the same thing so stop the crap about paying a fraction.  The fact is it is worth nothing as is!

The end result of your solutions so far is as follows

1. You will try and find a FF for the PIV card at my expense but no promises and no refund if you dont find one
2. The Amiga 4000 board you  continuing repeat that you can't beleive it's dead line and offer no solution whatsoever apart from me attacking it with a multimeter which you seem to think will spring it back to life  :roll:

Why you can't believe it's dead when you stated in one of your bounced emails This is true., I have NOT TESTED the boards. What in this sentence dont you understand?   If you didn't test it why can't you believe it's dead.

Yes I could read all your bounced emails fine...you did forget this quote thou on Amiga.org
Above I think of consulting a lawyer as the whole things gets messed up by your campaign.

Thank you very much Andreas for your answer to my email

So one thing I wonder is he said that "my" card works fine ...  

Oh dear, then how did he get it to work in his Amiga because he has clearly told me vcr4000's card worked and he sold me his old card?

Surely he isn't lying to me?  :-o

It is clear now that amix68k has been lying as the original owner of the PIV card sold to amix68k has stated it does not function.

The whole story of buy the card to replace his already working card wasn't too believable and now it has been proven so.

I have sent you an email amix68k so you can try and save something of your reputation.  The ball in now in your court my friend!

[jimbo100]

And amix68k, what do you have to say about vcr4000?

It worked in an A4000, yes.

No need for offensive talk again.

It doesn't stop with you does it?  vcr4000 has already said his card was dead!  Stop the lies, you have painted yourself in a corner and your reputation is in tatters!

Do the noble thing before you have nothing left!

[jimbo100]

It wont work any ANY AMIGA without the dongle!!!!!

This guy is unbelievable even when he is caught out lying!

It seems to be so. We are running around in circles here. You do not believe me, but you also does not want to elaborate the boards.

The board from Andreas was not dead, but it did not work in his A2000.

Anyway, I have sent you a mail and I think it is the best to let a outside party decide over the whole mess.

I am offline now for some hours.

A mess by your creation.  I don't have a 2000, only 3 Amiga 4000's and it dont work in any other of them either!

James please read.
VCR4000 said: "NOW, I´ve bought a "new" PIV Card with FliFi / Scandoubler part and it works fine. It also works with the scandoubler part disconnected in my A2000."

So it seems to work without the dongle in his A2000.

Does he lie also? Does everybody which does not speak after your mouth lie?

I have really diffiulties to argue with you as you do not reply to questions, rip parts of my mails apart to quote them here out of the context, call me names and so on.

As a conclusion we should leave it to an objective organisation to decide. Is that ok?

No vcr4000 does not lie, but you don't seem to get the fact that what he is saying questions your honesty and tells me you are being dishonest again!

Ok so if it seems to work without the dongle in his A2000 that only confirms what he said, that his previous card was dead.  

I have also tried it without the dongle and it's dead in a A4000, so we have vcr4000 trying it in a A2000 and me in an A4000 and the result is the same, dead.

We have you selling it as untested so you have no idea if it's dead or not.  

So now I have 2 items from you, both dead.  You find it difficult to argue because you have no concept of telling the truth.  As for calling you names, no such thing has occurred, please quote what I have called you?

All I have said is you tell lies and are dishonest!  Just stating facts, a concept you have great difficulty doing.

So now your not looking for a PIV FF and it seems pointless now anyway as it will work without a FF.  But this board is dead.  So you want to wait for Paypal to decide the outcome and you hope your lies will convince them to let you keep the money.

I have replied to all your questions on every single occasion but all you do is try and rebutt my answers with lies.  Please advise what has been taken out of context? It's is all here for everyone to see.

As for leaving to to eBay, I have given you an option to resolve it now and not wait 30 days!!

Refund my money minus the 55 euro postage, that is 205 euro and I will cancel the paypal action and return the boards to you at my cost.  Don't give me the rubbish about Paypal cancelling your account.  They don't do this, all they do is hold the funds while the matter is investigated, you can still get into your account and trade which you are doing despite your personal problems!

DOING THIS WILL GO SOME WAY TO RESTORING YOUR REPUTATION WHICH APPEARS TO BE IN TATTERS!

Anything else just confirms what everyone now knows!

[jimbo100]

There is no flixer fixer part but I have made sure all the chips are seated.  At the moment it isnt found in the early startup menu!

You wont be yawning if you ever want to buy something from amix68k!

@amix68k

btw: 'without warranty' means exactly that: if the board stops working after some time, it's the buyer's problem. But if it doesn't work right away, it's the seller's problem because he sold it as 'used' which doesn't mean 'dead'. If you have hardware that's dead or untested, sell it as such and not as 'used, no warranty'.
Read eBay's comments, they say the same thing.

Zac67 can you point to where on eBay's website that this is mentioned.  Been searching for a few days and unable to locate in the maze of web pages.

[jimbo100]

Don't think I follow you?  Who is odin?

Oh of course I should just cop the loss, all my fault, how silly of me :crazy:

I am not interested in revenge, just on fair play!  Untested doesn't mean dead, dead means dead!  :pissed:

If I have bought the PIV card on it's own and it was dead, your right I would have moved on.  What pisses me off is this guy saw I was pretty desperate for an A4000 board and offered me one he couldn't offload to another eBayer and offered me it.  

I asked him if it was ok and worked and gave the usual answers.  It wasn't an eBay auction!  Too right I am pissed off about that and will continue to chase it till time ends.  If your happy with shonky amiga sellers, go right ahead and accept it, me I prefer to chase them out of the game.

So MrRail, what should I have I done?

As jimbo does not want to report here:
Paypal decided (on facts) that jimbo is wrong. According to jimbos recent argumentation, paypal is a bunch of liars and betrayers now, but they had the whole facts and decided objective.

This is my last posting on amiga.org

Yes I am more than happy to report.  Yes Paypal paid the money to this parasite but we all know how that works and how much of a joke that eBay and Paypal protection is.

Not sure how Paypal made that decision since they ignored every email I sent to them and didn't reply or ask for any information.  You could hardly call it an investigation, more like sweeping under the carpet.

The boards I sent to Amiga France and JJ to have a look and he has replied to me, his response was;

"Hello,

Only bad news, i do not win at any time.
I cannot fix any boards
Spent a lot of time for no results."

So there you have it, both boards dead as a doornail and no hope of any life even for Amiga France.  What does it mean, lot of grief, negative feedback for me and $450+ down the drain!!

amix68k is a dishonest parasite giving other Amiga sellers a bad name but karma will sort him out I am sure!  

[jimbo100]

I see this thread is still going!!  To answer a few points

@therail
Not sure what behavior/language you are going on about?  I called the guy a parasite at the end because he is.  As for anything else, really not sure you have a point but thats your opinion.

The PIV was dead long before amix68k got it, he bought it from an auction dead and sold it on.  The PIV as JJ said had been exposed to moisture and could not be repaired!

As for the current location of the items I sent both off to Amiga France and JJ advised me both items are dead and can't be repaired.  As a result they sit in France, the PIV no doubt is in the bin, the A4000 board I have asked for to be returned so I can pull some chips off and sell them such as Buster 11, Kickstart and ram.  The whole thing has cost me near $500 and I will be lucky to get a few bucks for the chips/ram!

I WILL NOT EBAY THEM TO SOMEONE ELSE AS UNTESTED! unlike the parasite ami68k

@BootWB
Is this enough evidence?

Seems to me a common theme, wish I knew about this tool when I bid.

@AMIBY
As for a refund, not the way this guy operates, I have put it down to experience, either way this guy will get what he deserves, just hope I am around to see it!
