I have used ebay many times. They offer a great service, but I do feel they charge too much. However, that being said, I have made more money selling on ebay than I could by myself.

Unless we can set up our own board: An Action to create a solution; we are simply wasting our breath complaining and wasting breath.

But, I guess it is better to complain about ebay than the likes of Amiga Inc... Boy are we a hardly bunch!

One of the reasons why I have decided not to list on ebay is that there is so much dislike.

I am getting rid of so many of my Amiga computers and peripherals so please take notice so I don't have to go ebay.

For those in the Toronto area, pickup avoids shipping and I do have lots. Please see my posts and comment here or send me a message.

Make me an offer, though I was hoping for a local buyer because shipping will be somewhere between 40-60.

I sold a working one last year for US$400. Is $200 nuts?

He wants me to link to his site, yet he won't link to me.... I guess the idea of reciprocal links is foreign.

Well,

If I don't get a local buyer by say next Thursday, its yours for US$200 + US$50 shipping. I figure shipping should be US$50.00 and I'll put the insurance to cover up to US$200.00.

Oh, it comes with original keyboard and mouse too!

So, just give me a week then.

Regards,
Simon

It might be very simple. I was working for a while. Would not boot, took cover off, looked ok, turn it on and it worked again. Left it a few weeks and it stopped again.

The HD sounds great, just no light on front. A little puzzled I am. Oh well, I'll stick to emulation and let those more experienced hard the hardware.
