Several PPC cards on Amibench

I'd assume any of you sending money to him usig Paypal is safe. He wouldnt go through all that to rip people off. Get the card while you can I say!!

This is just crazy! I cant believe you all havent got the cards yet! This is why I am a Pegasos user now. I got my Pegasos II motherboard all the way from Germany in 10 days!! 10!!! This guy sounds like he is playing games to me.

This sounds so much like the DCE thing I am still dealing with and my CSPPC that was sent in close to three years ago now. I contacted the German police and then never heard anything again from them after the first reply I got telling me they were looking into it.

Yet one more reason I am no longer using an Amiga, but now am a Pegasos user. I am so sick of people stealing and taking advantage of Amigans.

I am not surprised that he closed it. My guess is he read the thread I was in with several others and the DCE thing and our PPC cards. Since nohing was ever done to DCE he just may have got the idea to "sell" some PPC cards from Germany and never deliver. Good luck with the police. I am still waiting for some action from them on the DCE matter.

I dont think the police will do a thing. When I contacted them about DCE I got one email telling me they will investigate then noting any more from them. When I talked to a lawer about it I was told that I was out of luck basicly unless I flew to germany to talk to a german lawer. I wasnt about to try that for a $1000 accelerator card.

Good luck to all of you still!

I dont know if I can buy off on it taking that long. I got a CSPPC card a few years ago from a guy in Germany and it only took three weeks to get to me here in the US. I also got a used CSPPC from Finland and it too only took three weeks. I think you all have been taken advantage of the huge need for PPC cards due to the OS4 thing still.

Dont be so quick to assume. DCE has got away with the exact same thing, only in reverse. They took cards and never fixed them and kept them all. The numbers they have is far more money then these 10 cards you all are talking of. I know of 25 from Software Hut here in the US alone. I sent a letter out myself to the local police in DCE's town and got nothing back other then asking for more information, and then nothing again.

Still no resolve to this case? Wow, not thats a total shame. I agree with all of you. Someone needs to take a trip to his address, We have several regular German users here dont we?
