I sold my megachips for 60-75$ and that was fair.  your prices are way too high.  I'm surprised people here still "love" you.  plus postage/duties.  I wouldn't buy a cat from europe.


Duff, Dude.  These are new units, not been stuffed in someone's computer for God-knows-how-long and treated in an unknown manner.  Additionally, the MegaAChips don't have the nice, clean socket for the Gary chip.

We love AmigaKit and dealers alike who keep regular stock and encourage further development of Amiga hardware in a time when Amiga is all but dead.  Dealers like AmigaKit probably could fleece us for every dollar/euro/whatever.  But they work to support the Amiga community, and we love them for it.

agreed.  good points but still price is a bit high.

Here's a good idea: don't buy one.  If the price is too high the market will decide.  If I didn't already have two MegaAChips in systems and a 500+, I'd most certainly buy one for that price -- that's what I paid for each of mine used.  Instead, I'll pick up a Deneb.


I like the idea of a PLCC puller, but I have to say I like the socket.  I built all of my own hacks in sockets to avoid clip-on snafus and soldering mess (I can't believe how many hacks I've read which say to solder directly to the chip.)
