Advice from Ebay pros please?!
« on: July 03, 2006, 10:50:21 AM »
Hi everyone,

I wonder if I could ask for some advice from you seasoned pros - I have finally admitted that my lovingly assembled Amiga collection just has to go. No room and I would rather it was being used by someone who appreciated it than sat in a box.

It's an expanded A500+ (2 meg) with all the usual bits, 2 sticks (I regular, 1 konix handheld), 2 mice, 1 joypad, 1 handheld scanner with software and manual, Workbench (...can't remember version...) and original manuals all in great condition. deluxe paint 3, about 3 different word processors (Works, Protext etc), some programming bits (AMOS, Shoot-em-up construction kit)...

Plus I have a great games collection, all originals, boxed with manuals, and classics for the most part - frontier, monkey island I and II, lemmings I and II, zool, wizkid, F16, alien breed, SFII, civ II, sim city, populous, powermonger....... about 50-60 altogether.

3 years of coverdisks from pretty much every Amiga magazine going!!

It's going to take me a while to write up the Ebay ad but before I do so do you guys have any tips for doing my Amiga justice? are people going to be interested in the mem upgrade, the scanner, the slavishly collected coverdisks... any ideas for presentation would be great. I'm a real newcomer to selling on Ebay and as well as not wanting to get ripped off, I want to do it with a bit of a fanfare.

I have spent all weekend playing with the amiga and am on the brink of having second thoughts, but it really has to go.  :-(

UK - we have small houses :) and under my bed is where I keep my winter bedding, which I'll need come August  :lol:

There really is no option - sure i could keep it, but it's in a box, never used. I haven't enough room for the stuff that i use regularly!

Decision to declutter irreversible.

Dunno - the last 500+ (without mem upgrade and not as good a package) went for £36, and some fool's just bought a games collection, sim to mine but none of them original for over £50. I've been keeping an eye for the last few months and it's usually around the £30 mark, which I think is sort of decent to keep it being used. Aware I'm not going to make enough to build a house extension!  ;-)
