I believe a lot of people still use their Amiga with no Graphics card, other then the indivision flicker fixer. Have you seen the prices of cards these days? They are almost impossible to find as people are hording them. I can get a hold of just about (excluding tower systems) every model of Amiga way easier that finding a Picasso card. In the last year alone, I have gotten a hold of just about everything but a card. I may be getting in a 3000T very soon (keeping fingers crossed) and I thank God it has a flicker fixer built right in so I don't have to pay for another Indivision card for it. At least the Indivision cards are easy to get. Price is another issue all together.

Er, there have been at least 3-4 Picasso II boards on eBay that sold in the $100 range (some cheaper, like $70) in the last month or two alone.  Picasso IV is another story, obviously, but I think there are enough RTG boards to go around if you don't need an integrated scandoubler.

edit: and if you want new, Softhut was supposed to be putting some Spectrum boards out (ZIII anyone?): http://www.softhut.com/cgi-bin/test/Web_store/web_store.cgi?page=catalog/hardware/accelerators/gvp_spectrum.html&cart_id=4661352_82831 albeit at a slightly higher price than used cards.


Umm, how do I say this without sounding sarcastic? The stuff available on E-bay.COM IS NOT the same stuff on EBAY.CA. Most US sellers refuse to ship to Canada and therefore doesn't show up on Ebay.ca. I have found it useless to even look at ebay.com because the attututed of most American sellers. I use to spend hours sending e-mails asking "will you ship to Canada" and now I have just given up. Bottom line, if it doesn't show up on Ebay.ca, it doesn't exist.

..Most of the Amiga stuff isn't in Canada (what the hell is?) and a whole lot of it isn't in the US.  Most European Amiga sellers ship internationally in my experience, and any seller in the US who knows about the international Amiga market will as well. If you want to be a feeb and not search worldwide, bottom line, you're just going to miss out on alot of Amiga stuff that you could've gotten.  Complaining about it just makes you look ridiculous.  I've personally bought 3 or 4 video boards in the last year from international sellers, at decent prices.

edit: Let me at least try and be a little helpful and explain exactly how this works.

Log in to your eBay.ca
Do a search
Check the "Worldwide" option

The results you see will only be auctions that are listed as shipping worldwide or to your country.

 Yes, thats what I do, but like I said, you will see a whole different list.In fact sometimes we see an item, but once you click on it, is says "Sorry,Auction Item XXXXX is blocked for your country" I have gotten 2 A600's for the UK now by searching world wide. But the FACT remains, you see a whole lot more in the US than Canada.
