Don't take offense to this, but in your auction you state this came with an amiga 2000 you got on ebay. How then, can you not know if it works?
 
I just don't understand people who know something does not work but still insist on posting it somewhere and implying it may work.
 
You also mention about the serial card "I am in desperate need of the slot it is occupying". Which means you still have the computer required to test both parts.
 
Why would you not simply test both parts before trying to sell them? Could it be you know full well that they are both dead as a doornail?
 
You and sellers like you is what makes it really tough to put together a good classic system. You have what you need to test these parts...Test them FIRST and THEN post them for sale. Oh wait, if you did that you may have to throw parts that don't work in the trash instead of taking someone's money for them knowing they are dead.

I agree he clearly states in his auction he has an amiga 2000. Even worse, on his website he states he owns an amiga 500 and 1000. He has every means available to him to test these parts. There can be no reason not to test the parts to get more money for them...
 
These parts and dead dead dead.
 
Its unfortunate but there are many people doing the same on ebay.

Anyone with 3 amigas should have a way to get a driver disk over to their amiga, I don't buy that. Would you take 20$ for something that could possibly get 200$ because your too lazy to copy a driver over? I don't know, sounds fishy...
 
As is means "broken".
Yes I do exactly the same got burned several times so far, to me if its not guarenteed working, its just trash. These people make it tough for people to put together nice classic systems. If I'm wasting money on trash like this, its no wonder I can't afford to get another amiga going.
 
My absolute favorite of these people are people selling lcd monitors.
"As is untested, no way to test it." Then look at their other auctions and they are selling 100 computers they can test the lcd monitor with :)
 
Amazing...
 
I challenge this seller to test the parts and take down his auction if they parts are dead, but I have little faith in that happening...

Yes your right I ruined the entire amiga community, simply by pointing out you have everything you need to test the parts but for some reason you still choose not to.
 
I ruined the entire amiga community by simply asking you to take 2 minutes and test the parts before trying to make money off of what could br broken or otherwise nonworking parts.
 
Your right, I'm sorry people like me are  ruining the amiga community.

The buyer could also just cut the card in half and send back half to the seller...
