I'm one of those numpties who pay silly prices for stuff on ebay, I don't mind the prices I pay as I will only pay what some folk consider to be crazy money if I really want the item and feel it's worth the money to me... :)

Just wish that sometimes I could get a bargain but that never seems to happen... :(

@ Slayer
Nah, I never have any luck with getting a bargain and then all the stuff I do buy I very rarely if ever sell, I usually end up getting a sob story from someone and giving it away... :rolleyes:

@ actung_bab

Knowing my luck I'd get crushed by the stuff falling off the back of the lorry... :lol:

Well the first thing to do in order to get a bargain is to look in other places than ebay. Personally I tend to buy Amiga related stuff by using an norwegian online auction site which have it's own Commodore/Amiga section.


I know it's just laziness with me, I missed a great bargain about three weeks ago, there's a site in the UK called Gumtree that does local auctions and there was a guy in Edinburgh selling 3 A1200's with 030 boards and he only wanted £45 for the lot, unfortunately I don't drive and my sister who could have taken me their was away that day. I contacted the guy the next day but he had sold them to someone else the night before, just my luck eh... :(

Another crazy price on ebay... (it's not even a PPC)

Apollo1260 50Mhz 64MB RAM - Buy It Now £425 !!!

I've noticed this particular seller always only ever sells as a Buy It Now and usually never sells the item until they re-list it at a lower price... :rolleyes:

Its one of those things that sort of sucks for those who want to actually use and mess around with amiga's. People drive up the price, then get bored and toss the gear.


I agree with that point, I never sell any of my Amiga gear no matter how tempting the price you could get for some of the stuff, and would never dream of binning any of it even if it was broken... :)

That's taking the pish. My 240MHz 603/ 25MHz 68040 version with SCSI cost significantly less than this when it was brand spanking new.


Yeah... I couldn't remember the price off hand of one of these when new, but that guy is either very thick or if someone actually buys it, very smart... :)

Ah, Mr. Retro-Storage, so named for the storing of retro stuff and not the selling of it.


You got that right tone007... :lol:

Think I'll make him an offer for a bag full of squirrels (freshly caught this morning) & a bottle of Irn Bru... :)

GAH!  Fooled again! lol


Me too, should've known better... :rolleyes:

Now here's the bad new's I've had a guy contact me who produces indie records asking me to put him in touch with Doomy, and I kinda let him know where to find him. Now it looks like were going to get a full length professionally produced version of Only Amiga featuring the one and only The DoomMaster... erm... sorry folks... :(

@ lando

Most likely that what he's done, but you'd think he'd have at least done a bit of research first before placing the ad. I mean it looks like an 030 or 040 but the numptie doesn't even tell you how much RAM the thing actually has, even a quick look around ebay he'd have been able to get a rough Idea of what he's trying to sell and an idea of the price...

The guy must be a total waahoo IMO... :lol:

This guys a total bamstick, here's what else he's trying to sell...

Amiga 1200 memory upgrade excelarator - (again no info) Starting Bid £499

Amiga 1200 memory upgrade (without any ram chips according to the picture) Starting Bid £50

Now he claims this ones in "Top working order" so he must have an amiga to test these things on, that begs the questions, why no info or ram size, or the fact that the first one is even an accelerator and how did he test the one at £50 when the RAM chip sockets are empty... weirdo... :lol:

What do you mean? Of course it's rare. How many other 500 quid memory upgrades that just happen to have a spare 68030/6888x on board can you name? :roflmao:
