Don't take offense to this, but in your auction you state this came with an amiga 2000 you got on ebay. How then, can you not know if it works?
 
I just don't understand people who know something does not work but still insist on posting it somewhere and implying it may work.
 
You also mention about the serial card "I am in desperate need of the slot it is occupying". Which means you still have the computer required to test both parts.
 
Why would you not simply test both parts before trying to sell them? Could it be you know full well that they are both dead as a doornail?
 
You and sellers like you is what makes it really tough to put together a good classic system. You have what you need to test these parts...Test them FIRST and THEN post them for sale. Oh wait, if you did that you may have to throw parts that don't work in the trash instead of taking someone's money for them knowing they are dead.

Pisses me off big time when people do this.  I now take "As is" to mean "its broken"

Cut the guy a break, he got a 2k off ebay and found it it had an accel in it and he doesn't have any clue how to use it and doesn't want it. I've bought a1ks of ebay and found accels in them and had a hell of a time figuring out how to get them to work. I don't see anything particularly malicious about this listing. AS-IS, treat it as possibly broken, don't spend money on it you don't mind loosing.

Its poor form and laziness IMO.  Compare this post here:

The list is about 1/3 complete, I will continue to add to it as I test and photograph items. Thanks for looking!!!

This seller is testing the stuff, before selling it, how long would that take with that list, of which he is 1/3 of the way through, compared to how long ONE item would take.  Compare the two approaches.

The OP talks about the Amiga Community in the past, so he's not a noob, he would have some knowledge about how to go about testing, or where to ask, but he chooses not to, or already knows its dead, but wants to sell it with no recourse for the buyer.  Well some "Community spirit"" that is!  

Anyway it IS a free market, he can offer it for sale however he wants, just as buyers are free to draw their own conclusions about what the selling terms mean.
