A little extreme perhaps?

Hear hear.  I can understand when I'm giving stuff away just for the shipping and I can't get a bite, I have to send it to the dump (it kills me to do it, but I can't store stuff forever.)   But if people actually wanted bits and pieces of what I've had I'm certainly not looking a gift horse in the mouth.

But then there's these tw@ts who extort various communities -- I see it with a lot of "retro" stuff, not just Amiga.  They know what they haven't isn't worth the money they want, but they think they can wring it out of a bunch of poor sods who don't want to see the stuff destroyed.  It is out-right damnedable extortion.

People like that need a swift kick in the genitals.  Or a few -- they're free, after all.

In my own experience, I had a guy who beat me to the punch on the local Freecycle list - he got an Amiga 500 and peripherals for free from a generous person.  He took them just to just see what they were (he didn't know anything about the Amiga).  He got bored with them a few days later (probably when he realised they wouldn't run Windows) and he offered to sell me the parts (which we BOTH knew he had just gotten for FREE) or he would fire them in the trash.  He refused to pass them on for free - when I was probably the only true Amiga user in my smallish town.  Now, you can say that he was within his rights, but in my opinion that's being a Class A schmuck.

He'll loose his access to most FC lists for that behavior.  Too bad you can't otherwise publicly shame the fekker... you know, with a severe beating.

OMG! The Addams Family is the best game ever! *Begins to reminisce* all those $2 coins i spent trying to open up the entire house but never could...   :rolleyes:

I dropped an entire summer's worth of lawn-moving money into Pin-Bot.  I'd love to get my hands on one of those machines.
