Worth a bid, though I know I will get outbid.

I know, I got first bid, and was the highest bidder for quite a while at $50

Some lucky collector is going to get a great piece of Amiga history when they win that auction.

I think somebody is just going to get ripped off and it will collect dust as it will be too valuable to actually use. And that seems to be against Dick's stated wishes. You would think  he would have had a charity auction to pick who to donate it to that will really use it.

Dick Van Dyke does not need the money this fleabag auction will bring.

Does anyone have a copy of that video message he made that they showed at that Amiga convention in 1998 or 1999? The one that happened in that olde styled motel that got demolished soon after. Gateway is a word my brain is associating with that building.

Gateway was the Amiga owner at that time, but as far as the building, my brain will always associate room bathtubs full of beer and roaming the halls singing, "Henry the Eighth I am I am I am ....  :pint:  :evilgrin:

I told him that any proof

More and more and more suspicious, for sure. :inquisitive:

If he wanted it to be used, why didn't he allow Pyromania to donate it to someone that will continue developing Toaster/Flyer software? I have actually been on DVD's old yacht, he most certainly does not need the $700 from fleabay.
And there appears to be no direct way/email to contact DVD before the auction end.
