For Sale: Apollo 040/40 (not OC'd) and Whippet (pre-ebay)

[Cyberus]

Because I know a lot of users are p'd off with ebay, and I want a quick sale, I thought I'd advertise here first.

The Apollo is fully working, in fact I've had it working this morning. It has its box and instructions (anyone who has owned an Apollo will know these are not much to look at!). I will ship anywhere and take many forms of payment (none of you have any blonde sisters by any chance? ;-))
I think I can throw in a single sided 16MB SIMM that works well with the card. I have a rough idea of how much I want, so if no-one offers close to that, I might ebay it anyway.
BTW, its a 40MHz chip on the card.

I can guarantee that it works - People in SE England (I'm in Kent) are welcome to come and collect and see it working.

The Whippet (High speed serial for PCMCIA) is sans instructions and box. I will guarantee it non-DOA though.

Offers?

Well I've had no problems with it at all. I came back to the Amiga last year, and as a returning user, I was mightily impressed with the speed in my A1200T.
In any case, aren't PPC boards far more flaky?

TBH, 25 Euros doesn't justify even going to the Post Office - I guess I'll take my chances with ebay...

60 UKP is the best offer I've received.

I don't think its over the top at all. I've regularly seen 040 accelerators go for more than 50 UKP, and this is a true 040/40 accelerator.

Feel free to put it on Ebay, but then you will have the costs of putting the add plus the 5% Ebay charges from the winning bid ...

Right. I should pay you to take it from me really...

On Ebay (click here) they sold a Blizzard 1240/40 Mhz for just 72 euro

Why didn't you buy it then?

Yeah I know, but I just thought this was a 'nicer' way of doing things. As it happens, I regret it.

Stick it on eBay and let the fight begin.

I will do. I am really quite skint, in need of thousands to pay of debt, so I shall have to resign myself to ebay.

I bought my 2nd hand Blizzard 1260 for £180 on Amibench, but on eBay a
week or two back a Blizzard 1230-IV sold for £90!

I swear I saw a Blizzard 1230-IV go for like 140 quid or something... :-o

Isn't there a dance band called Apollo 440?

Gaaaahhhh!
