Then go on, this is the official sale by majsta, also now on ebay.

Why isn't it for sale on kipper2k's site?

EDIT:  I'll pass on the ebay bidding wars.

He's out:

http://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p=1112315&postcount=345

I can fully understand that is not fun anymore when a lot of people want the card for free, totally ignoring that he works during his spare time on it which is just too much. And now, doing the right decision to let it produce forums are filled with complains and I don't want to know what emails he receives at the moment.

So, currently I don't know of any plans producing/selling the Vampire A500 except those ebay sales.

Edit: I've read it again, he said he will finish the Vampire project. I don't know if that means he will just finish the A600 Vampire order list or also produce the A500.


WOW!!  The phrase "thats why we cant have nice things" applies.    Some a**holes messed it up for the rest of us!

I have been receiving hate mail from people who are cancelling their orders and being accused of gouging, and multiple other reasons that we have used to increase the price.


I guess I dont see why he just doesnt tell them "ok, dont buy it." and the hate mail, just tell them "F U too!  Have a nice day! :-)"    Thats what I'd do, works well :-)

The people in the queue registered interest. They are free to step down from it if the terms do not meet their ecpectations. Just as kipper as vendor has the right to adjust these terms if he feels that these do not correspond to his capacities anymore. There is nothing to complain about.

I don't get it.  Even 250EUR is cheap for this!  I'd easily pay 500-600 USD for the A4000 version.  Mainly because trying to get any Cyberstorm is going to cost 700-1000, and it could blow up a week after you get it.

While sure I could understand being annoyed when you were told it'd cost half that, then suddenly the demand is too high so it doubles.  Do people not understand supply/demand?  Hell, I'd donate to keep kipper building stuff, I know I've ordered something from him (I think it was the PSX to DB9 adapters that I use all the time on my Falcon now).

I really want that A4000 Vampire though..

I'd pay 250 EU (around $280 I think..but I'd pay up to $300 USD for it) for the A500 version.  $500 for the A500 version though? Nope.

If I had an A4k like you, 500-600$ for that, yes.


EDIT: Updated what I'd pay for A500 version.

The Amiga isn't cursed, it's the toxic emotionally unstable entitled lunatics that make up the so called %&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!8221;community%&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!8221; that are a curse.

Time and time again stuff like this happens because of those freaks. I'd love to say it is a minority but as time has passed they have now become a majority sadly.

You hit the nail on the head.

What I find interesting is reselling stuff on ebay.    Buying 1.. ONE *ONE*  Vampire board for lets say $300 USD (just throwing out a price) and selling it for $600 usd.  You make $300.  Thats it.  You dont have a board anymore and you're probably not getting another anytime soon.
All for $300??  What did that pay for?  Part electric bill and something else?   To me $300 profit is nothing if its a one time thing.  

If you were kipper2k or Majsta and sold a few each month at $300 profit, then thats good, its worth it.  Makes sense to those two guys.  But to a regular person who only has one..you have to be dirt poor to resell something once,  just for the money.  To kipper2k and Majsta, raise it to $300 USD.  Make it worth your while.  Nothing is free in this world.  Put me down for 1 at that price if you choose to sell it for that price.  I can pre-pay, send me a PM.

If I dont get an A500 Vampire because some aholes messed it up for all of us, then I only have 1 word, a curse word, to say to the individuals that screwed it up for us...  Starts with an F.  Figure out the rest.
