Guy didn't write the discription so clearly but the pictures did the talking for him. Bidding was intense, I could barely move the mouse properly from shaking so much.

Good deal? This is hard to type.

an 060 would be great, this clever cloggs probably never bought one though. If it's just a bog standard 1200 with no hard disk i'm not too bothered. Plenty of 2.5 drives littering my room.

Shame for him, if he didn't write the ad like a mong he might have actually got something for it:roflmao:

From my inbox:

Dear smaudsley1990,[/B]

YES IT HAS  ALREADY BEEN SENT! DID YOU HAVE A NICE
CHAT ON THE AMIGA.ORB (Wow...  Yeah, I'd say you
got a helluva deal there!

Refreshing (or  not) to see Americans aren't the
only dickheads on ePay though. Nice  ad buddy! All
caps and a monstrous sized font. lol

I  couldn't get through the entire ad without being
annoyed, but didn't  see mention of specs. Ram, HD,
etc. Wouldn't it be nice to find a  1260 under the
hood? I'm guessing someone with the wherewith all
to  use and purchase one of those, would have
written a more civilized  ad though. lmao ) NICE!

I never called him a Dickhead, that was save. As for mong, well. What's he going to do? Chase the royal mail van down the M62?

[Hell Labs]

Oh yes there is. I just got it given to me by a neighbour.

It smells like cat piss like you wouldn't beleave. Would have been nice of him to let me know. How do you get cat piss smell out of an amiga?

[Hell Labs]

Thanks for the advice, i'll try that. It boots, and has a hard disk fitted. No idea what's on there untill I plug it in the telly. With a mysterious sega master system RF box.

[Hell Labs]

The pac man game is called "pacman 96". I'm about to put the case in a bath full of soapy water, once I get this last rusty screw out. Anyone got any experiance with pulling the caps off an 1200 keyboard? It seems to be put together a bit different than el cheapo PC keyboard.

[Hell Labs]

It seems the keyboard stinks the worst! No signs of "fluids" anywhere inside the machine, thank god. I'll have to have a look at a new keyboard from amigakit. And a new mouse, this one doesn't go up or down. Maybe the hard disk, it boots from it "sometimes". I haven't took the RF sheilding off the motherboard, so god knows what thats like. None of the many many workbench 3.0 disks boot beyond an amigaDOS window.

[Hell Labs]

Just gave the case and top half of the keybaord a bath. There's not really a smell on it now, but when I came back to the room where the rest of the stuff was, I nearly passed out from the smell. Please god, let it be the box. Please. Not the disks. Not the joysticks. Not the manuals. just the box. Please.

[Hell Labs]

Anyone know how to plug the keyboard back in?

[Hell Labs]

Sorted it! Problem now is that the mouse won't go up or down. Can I use a joystick instead, or?

[Hell Labs]

Luckily someone at commodore had the sense to let you use the keyboard to move the mouse cursor. I think I'll leave off buying a new mouse for a while, Atleast untill I have room to move one, anyway.
