Possible Ebay Blizzard 1260 Scam ?
« on: February 09, 2017, 12:26:54 PM »
If anyone is bidding on this I would be careful.   0 rated seller, with cheap international postage selling a high valued item..   seems a bit odd to me.  (either that or oddly first time Amiga user ebayer? )

I think in the past Amigakit refurb'ed a few accelerators, and ppl selling them now are considering them NEW if they havent used it ?  

I did just purchase a Bliz 1240 from Amibay advertised NEW and unused purchased from Amigakit years ago, but my expectation will be refurb'ed unit if that.

Edit - Ebay listing copied and pasted from original Amikit listing for Refurb - http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=161

Are you guys sure you're not bidding on it ? :D


ha!  good one!   its a scam, stay far far away.

Meanwhile I'll be back one moment,  turns to ebay to place bid,   it will be mine!  :P

Loved the feedback from -1 comment, 29 bids for a 1.25 EUR item.   maybe someone debugging their snipping script.

From my understanding I think paypal will only refund if they can retrieve existing funds from sellers account.   If seller has already moved funds or doesn't have a linked bank account (not sure about credit card) then no.
