So I guess I bought a copy then - a bit expensive considering I paid $34.95 and it seems like it isn't authentic after all.  Oh well live and learn.


Well.. I didn't learn :(

Here's what happened. Last june I bought on eBay a "Rare Commodore Amiga OS 3.9 Sealed in Case" and paid 51 dlls for it. The thing is I didn“t ask the seller to send it directly to Mexico but to California (a friend's house), thinking I could pick it up this month during my travel to attend Amiwest (Great show by the way! I surely want to go back! :hat:).

So... I was very happy thinking I had a new and original OS 3.9 CD and to my surprise... it is a CD-R copy... just as carnid said, with some kind of color copy or printing in ordinary paper and also a printed label sticked to it. I was so angry! :angry:

Since my purchase was almos 5 months ago... it's too late to do anything, I just wanted to comment this and warn about this seller (p166user), who is still selling Amiga OS 3.9 CDs as can be seen here.

I saw Vesalia sells it for almost the same price I paid... I should have bought it with them and save all the trouble (and money). I can safely assume that Vesalia's CD is the real thing... right?

Now I'll learn...

Efren

I purchased an AmigaOS 3.9 CD from Vesalia not long ago, and I can confirm that they sell CD-R copies as well. It came with no CD inlay card and the CD case was of the slim type. It was also sealed with a couple of Haage & Partner stickers.


Mmmm the one I got was not slim case and without stickers... it was just wrapped in plastic.

Well... I think I'll be waiting for someone who decides to sell his/her pressed CD.

Thanks!
