Somthing disturbing about buying amiga on ebay!!!
« on: May 13, 2010, 12:48:46 AM »
I have just about had it.  I go to ebay and conduct a search for all "Amiga" items, but there is somthing that really annoys me.  Of all 12,500 items that come up 10,000 of them are single issues of amiga world.....PAGE AFTER DAMN PAGE OF AMIGA WORLD.  Does anybody else get annoyed with this?  It gets to be an eye sore...the same damn issues of amiga world staring me in the face, week after week.  Not only that but they have the nerve to charge over $20 an issue.  Sorry about my ranting.  Thank you.

Barney

I will have to try "amiga -world".  I knew there was a way to ignore a certain word. Thanks.

By the way, here is somthing else that really pisses me off.  What is up with the big influx of overpriced 8088 IBM bridgeboards for the Amiga?  I see people selling the rediculous things for over $125.  No offense everybody, but these things nowadays are totally useless.  They were almost useless back then.  You can only run the most archaic software, nowhere to put the floppy drive (bay already filled), finding ibm software on 720k disks is almost impossible, and did I mention they're useless?!!!   Sorry, I am losing my temper again.

But here is what I really don't understand.  People keep the same damn stuff in there WEEK AFTER WEEK and it doesn't sell.  Not only that, but the price doesn't go down one dime!!!  I am a big collector of Vic-20 stuff and there is a guy selling an $8 game cartridge for $100.  It has been in there over 2 years....doesn't he understand it will NEVER SELL!!!?  I guess people use all this over priced crap as "filler" to make their stores larger than they really are.  Two decently prices items wrapped in blanket of "Out of this world, overpriced garbage!!!!!!!"
