I'm sorry to hear about Extreme Amiga, the market is rough.

As for the rumor of Eyetech losing $100,000? I seriously doubt it, that would have been an order of well over 300 boards. Eyetech was not dealing in that kind of numbers even at the height of A1 sales.
Someone has to state the obvious and that someone is me!

The other funny thing is when you click on "Systems". It just lists A1s. Every other reseller here that is still going strong lists a lot more Classic items instead.

He's going out of business why?


Cut him some slack. That was no different than most AmigaOne dealers at the time, actually many A1 dealers didn't even have a functional website. Unless you happen upon a warehouse of old retro stuff, not just once but over and over, it is nearly impossible to stock a store with classic hardware. Even still, it hardly makes enough money to justify a bedroom operation. Even though the markup on Teronboards when slapped with a boing sticker was more than classic hardware, still all of these AmigaOne dealers were bedroom operations. They made money per board purchase, but it didn’t last long and there was practically nothing to sell along with it.

I can understand the desire to want to be a reseller of Amiga NG product, but there was no product to sell. Only A1/Teron boards.

There is a reason I never attempted to resell "AmigaOnes". I did mostly keep my mouth shut why at the time in respect to those with a different opinion than my own. The Teron boards are utter garbage.
