NOS Amiga OS3.5 (retail box, collectible)- $20
« on: June 25, 2004, 01:19:50 PM »
We have just acquired a stock of NOS (New Old Stock) Amiga OS3.5. OS3.5 comes shrink wrapped in a full retail box, unlike OS3.9 which comes as a CD only. Besides being an obvious inexpensive upgrade for OS3.1 users, these retail boxes are surely to be collectible one day. OS3.5 was the product of the Gateway era of Amiga Int. (now Amiga Inc). The included booklet even has a message from good old Petro.

If you would like to reserve a copy for $20 + shipping, PM me here on Amiga.org or email me at jim[AT]anachronismindustries[DOT]com. I expect them in stock before July 2. Once in stock they will be added to our eShop at a slightly higher price, to cover eBay fees.
 
For more information about OS3.5 look HERE.

9.90Eur is ~$12 USD. US dealers who stock it has it for about $40, so I don't think $20 is unreasonable. Buyers can go anywhere they are more comfortable. Be my guest and buy it from your local dealer, that's not a bad price.

-Edit-
I'd be curious to know if at that price it is the original retail box version of OS3.5, or CD only(CDR) that was produced later.

20 bucks is a good deal considering sofhut wants 40 bucks plus shipping. And if ya need an extra set of wb disks might as well have 3.5.


Please keep in mind OS3.5 comes on CD only, though we've taken care of your problem. Your package is shipped out, you should get it tomorrow:-) I'll email you the tracking number as soon as CE gets back.

Pretty strong response so far, still plenty left though.

Just a quick note, the shipment of OS3.5 arrived today. Everyone who prepaid will receive them in a few days, as I will process them for shipping tonight and they will ship out tomorrow. I will email everyone who wanted to be put on a notify list when they arrive, in about an hour or so. There are still quite a few left, if anyone else is interested at this time let me know.

YEAAAAAAAA! now I need 3.9 and an 040 board!...hmmm and a ethernet board...man it never ends.


Naah you really don't need 3.9. Install OS2.5 and you can get pretty much everything else you need off Aminet to bring it up to the same level as OS3.9. Nothing wrong with OS3.9, don't get me wrong. It's just very close to OS3.5.

Although, if you feel like spending cash I have plenty of stuff :lol:
