Appraisal on item:
« on: December 03, 2014, 01:09:02 AM »
I know this is a real collectors item I just don't know how much its worth but I suspect a lot.

fair condition stainless-steel business card:

At one point, after the demise of commodore, this company secured the rights to the Amiga Walker prototype (positioning themselves to become the new Commodore) and even employed legendary Commodore engineer Dave Haynie!

They were working on a revolutionary machine called the MMC and another prototype called the Torro.  Not much is known about that machine except Torro is similar to the Spanish word for "bull" which conveys the connotation of power...

If any of these prototypes were ever made, I bet they still around and being used today based on the quality and durability of their business cards!

Cheers!

That was that crook.  I wouldn't give .50 cents for it.  Put it on ebay and see what it goes for.  ;)

Good. Because I hope to get a lot more than $.50. Try adding some more zeros...

He is not a crook. Just had too many oars in the water as far as trying to split his time between CEO thing and being a test pilot for various military contractors.

You try and juggle all that for with being nobility and an national treasure in your home country and let me know how that goes...

I guess it might be worth something to someone interested in collecting amiga trollware/scamware memorabilia?

That and it make a fantastic ice scraper for your car windshield.

The business cards where made to match his DeLorean.

No big surprise there. He has been accused of insurance fraud in the past. I think every once in a while their entire store inventory would be "stolen".

I'm not sure what an "Intervenor" is. Strange :)
