are we still sharing crazy ebay postings?

Every TV repairman is eager to repair old TVs and monitors: no SMDs, easy to replace capacitors, no imbedded processors.  All they can do with modern equipment is swap out boards IF they can find a replacement.  But a CRT that has lasted 30 years will likely last another.

I took my M1438S to a repair guy, and he said that the monitor was hosed, it powered on, but I think the tube was bad.  Sad days, looked like it would have worked great for what I needed it for.

Holy crap, did you see how much he wants for his other items?  Pretty sure a CyberVision 3D isn't supposed to go for 500 bucks.

Whoa, not an Amiga, but this is some crazy price for a retro machine;

I guess this one;

It's not so much the price, but the "Wtf did he do to it?" that makes it crazy!

I've been looking for a good two button joystick.  Either that or a compatible CD32 one (I've seen actual cd32 gamepads, but have heard they suck).  I ran into this monstrosity.

Well that's a bizarre connector!  :angry:

Ha, yeah, almost looks like he tried to hook it up to some weird equipment to control a robot or something.  I certainly haven't seen anything that it'd connect to.  It looks like it used to be either the NES or SMS version.

Granted it is pristine, in the box, with all packing.  And people thought I was crazy on my price!

That's pretty cool, I didn't even know such a thing existed!

But yeah, bit on the pricey side.  May as well just pick up an A2000 and deck the hell out of it.

Not necessarily crazy. If I was rich I would probably decorate my house with these. Although then all my friends would probably think I was crazy.

Ha, if I were rich I'd do the same thing!  Stuff like that would look awesome lining my hallway.

OMG,

The Darth Vader of Amigas:  http://www.ebay.com/itm/Amiga-4000d-040-NON-FUNZIONANTE-/301480188979?pt=Altro_Informatica&hash=item46319e9c33

Sadly, the price would be OK if the case were not ruined.

What did he do?  I was just barely thinking a black Amiga 4000D would be awesome, since I just saw that CD32 that had a black keyboard.  But I can't tell if this guy's case has some sort of plastic wrapping on top of it (kind of looks that way) but you can see where a monitor sat for a long time and left a mark.

Oddly, if it's just the 040 card, I have one sitting in my closet, but it is hard to tell if there is battery damage.  Plus, I already have one, which after making it less loud, and soon I should be getting my IDE killer soon, it's right where I want it

That CD32 for 2800 bucks... It seems I've seen 4000Ts going for about that much with everything in them.

Ha ha, most expensive memory I've ever purchased was the 100 dollars for 2mb of memory I bought for my Atari Mega STe, which put me up to 4mb of ram, so I played Ultima 6 out of a ram disk!  That was freaking awesome.

Amiga 4000D with 040 and new caps just sold on eBay for $1,225 USD.  "New" floppy (likely DD), CF hard drive, 18 MB RAM, damaged MB with jumpered traces, and a Gotek drive.

First it was Title IX and now the world has gone mad!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/261798961448?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Wow, I bought mine for 400 USD, and it has the HD floppy, no damage to the motherboard (except where the dude soldered a new barrel battery, he hit the corner of the memory slots.) it needed recapping, so it went to amigakit, and while there got shiny new simm slots as well.  I think that was another 100 or so with shipping.. So even 500 bucks...

Some people are delusional.  Though I could probably get maybe 2k out of my full rig... I wouldn't sell it, too much love put into it now.

Here is a fun listing:  http://www.ebay.com/itm/Commodore-Amiga-2000-Model-US-ASCII-VERSION-/311360426364?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item487e87117c

Yes folks; this a sale of the ASCII version, not the common IBM EBCDIC version!

A once is a lifetime deal for a rare ASCII keyboard!

Being a US version, it won't work on PAL systems, and you Canadians are SOL too, as it won't spell "Color" as "Colour."

:lol:

Ha ha, I have installed as a VM on my macbook for work, Antergos Linux, which apparently is based in Australia, since my locale was set to en_AU.UTF-8, and when typing into things with spellcheck, it kept marking things like color and favorite incorrect until I put in that extra u.  Was tempted to leave it that way so I can make my coworkers think I'm trying to be a British wannabe.

Well, since the A2410 just went for over $500 and that Amiga dual CPU card for over $3000, what do you guys think this is going to go for?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/331559798998?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&fromMakeTrack=true

Although at least the A2410 is usuable, haha. Where is all this rare S**t all of a sudden coming out of the woodwork? Did some hoarder kick the bucket, somewhere? :lol:

Or someone got married.  Then again in some circles, that's the same thing

Holy crap, for the price I expected it to be decked out in upgrades, PPC, etc.  But no, it's an A4000D.  Pretty much exactly like I bought a few years back for 400 bucks, though this one looks like it is cleaner than mine was, still need to whiten mine up a bit.

But still...

Sadly, it did have a CyberStormPPC, CyberVisionPPC in it a few weeks ago.

The CVPPC is listed separately, and a very dead CSPPC is available if someone is interested.  When I bought the CSPPC a while back I was warned that the PPC side didn't start up all the time.  I never had a moment of trouble with it.  I ordered and installed OS4.1FE a few weeks ago and ran it for about a week solid.  The SCSI chip failed, then the PPC and finally the whole board died.  I moved the CVPPC, the 060 and the RAM to another board, they are tested and work great.

Check out the other items I have listed as well.  I have a Hydra Systems Amiganet NIC for sale and a Merlin RTG board and an RBM ONBoard 4000/Towerhawk rig too.  Sold my A3660 (A3640 with 060 conversion) boards, sold my other A4000s - this is the last machine to go.

Is there a how-to somewhere for creatining a 'A3660'?  I still have my A3640 sittiing in a closet and was always curious to know if it was possible to slap an 060 in it.

There are a few sites relating to the project.  Here is one:

http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=53808&page=6

"Alexh" would be a main contact to get you started.

*** Edit:   This is the one I had in mind:   https://amigafun.wordpress.com/tag/68060/

Ah yes, I remember the eab.abime.net thread.  I also remember running into it right after Cosmos had pulled his patch because some ass goblin decided to turn around and sell it.

I thought it'd be really cool back before I was able to finally land my Cyberstorm MK I, and I have 128mb of ram on that, so even if I did the 3660 mod, I'd lose that, and the speed would be the same, I think.
