Amiga Cache of Minnesota!!! Raymond Computer is Liquidating. Cont.

DrClaw: Still awaiting price quote on two 1084s monitors + shipping to KS.  Would need cable for 128D RGB and a1200.  Preferably matching style with front doors intact.  Thanks

I would need a zip code to include shipping for you but. Monitor with out shipping $125/each. Get back to me.

Thanks for checking on them.  I'll give it some time and see if they come down.  Did he replace the capacitors on his ?  Those models usually show up on ebay for $40-$50 and there's no telling what shape the guts are in for old hardware.

Wow.  I can't believe Amigians would  treat eachother this way.  Well its been something thats plaged Amiga  for all of its existance why should it change now I guess.

Claw: at the bottom of Raymond's (cellarsites) ebay auctions, he has the tagline

"About Us: We are a nonprofit corporation  whose mission is to spread technology to those who are typically  underserved in the technology field.  Your purchases help to further  this mission. "

Is he really nonprofit and trying to liquidate to avoid tossing in the dumpster as you originally advertised on all the forums ?  All the comments others have posted about outrageous prices, is there anyway he could come down to a more realistic price on two 1084s monitors?  

For $125 I would expect to pay for units that have been refurbished with Retr0brite and a recapped chassis.  Your video presentation makes me wonder the condition of hardware.

Looking at his sold auctions over the past few months his 1541 drives were selling for $10.  Since you advertised he is trying to get $50 out of them, when there is about 20 others going for $5-$13 ?

You have the whole community covered with these forums, but he is alienating everyone.  Nobody is willing to fall for the "RARE / VINTAGE" 500% markup
