FS on ebay - A3000T-040, X-Surf, Deneb, Cybervision and more.

[palemoon]

I have just posted my A3000T-040 on ebay. This A3000T is in good overall condition and is working perfectly.  It comes with an Amiga keyboard and Amiga 2 button mouse. Slight case scratches and yellowing. The battery has been removed with no sign of leakage. Includes two floppy drives (one without eject button), CD-ROM Drive (don't know if it works as I have no driver for it) and a brand new 2.1Gig SCSI HD. Also has the Super Buster 11 chip. I have included a complete set of Workbench 3.0 disks and manuals.

Also for sale are brand new X-Surf and Deneb USB boards. Cybervision 64/3D card and other items.

Boy Ebay has changed since I last used it! Anyways, thanks for canceling my bid (pandaninjatux)!!! I rejoined Ebay..just to bid on your item! I still have my Paypal Account that IS verified, but I guess that's not enough these days!

I understand people being worried about getting ripped off on Ebay. I lost over $2k a long time ago...which is why I quit! But, if every seller starts canceling bids from people with ZERO feedback, then nobody new can bid on anything. Crap like this makes me glad I left!

Good luck with your auction!


EDIT: Oh...and no you've ended the auction early....

I'm really sorry to have cancelled your bid but I did state very clearly that zero feedback buyers should contact me first. I would then have done due diligence and we could have continued. A while ago I lost a very expensive Apple computer valued at over $3000 to a zero feedback buyer!
So I just needed to be cautious.
The computer has now been sold. But thank you sincerely for your interest.

Well, had I seen your terms I would have contacted you...Info like that should be at the TOP of the Ad, IMHO. And as a seller (I was a seller on Ebay for a long time) you could have contacted me. Plus you required a paypal account to bid, so it makes it a little more difficult to screw you over. My bid stayed in place for a long time...and then minutes after canceling my bid you cancel the auction. So, in my eyes you canceled my bid so you could end the auction and sell it to someone else that made you a nice offer. This defeats the purpose of Ebay and I personally think that sellers should be fined for such actions. Just my $0.02.

Had the auction continued after you canceled my bid then I would think differently! In the future, I would recommend you place the Ad on this site first and give people here a chance to buy it (you would probably get a better deal too), before putting it on Ebay.

As I said, I lost money on Ebay too...and it was from someone with a high-rating!

I stopped coming to this forum over a year ago because of several abusive and just plain mean spirited comments I received to my newbee questions about using an Amiga.
Guess I'm out of here again. You can assume all you want of my motives but that's all they are is assumptions.
Please don't tell me how I should do things...just because you can't read the whole eBay ad is not my fault.
I did nothing illegal or wrong. I called eBay before removing the listing and actually did it while in contact with them to assure my adherence to the rules.
Like you said...if you had seen the notice you would have contacted me....sounds like your fault not mine.
My listing clearly stated that bids would be removed with no prior contact.
As for selling to someone outside of the system, you are 100% wrong.
Finally I placed the notice on this site to make people aware of the sale. I am under no obligation to give you a chance to buy it before the rest of the world.
Guess I won't bother in future. :-(

I don't think my post was mean-spirited or abusive. It was merely an observation on my part. I admitted to not seeing the terms. I never said you did anything illegal. I also never "told" you how to do anything...merely recommended. As for selling to someone outside the system, I was wrong? Then who bought it? I was the ONLY bidder! Surely you can see things from my point of view...I was the ONLY bidder, my bid was allowed to remain for some time, my bid was canceled, minutes later auction was canceled, then item was apparently sold. I would have had the decency to contact a bidder before canceling the bid...but that's just me. No you are not under obligation to give me or anyone else a chance to buy...you made that clear. Back when I was a seller on Ebay, once you placed an Ad you could not cancel it without a very good reason. I guess that has changed.

If my post(s) offend you then I apologize. But, your actions struck a nerve with me and I merely posted my take on the chain of events. Good luck with your future Ads...I for one will not be bidding on them...
