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

[Effy]

60.00 GBP United Kingdom Pounds = 90.6841 EURO This guy must be crazy. On Ebay (click here) they sold a Blizzard 1240/40 Mhz for just 72 euro, and a Blizzard is compatible with a Zorro4 busboard while an Apollo isn´t, not

Take that deal and run! No it's a bit over the top but some ppl realy need a cpu card and don't want to compete for one.

I only payed 7 UKP more for my BlizzardPPC/175Mhz/68LC040/25Mhz ... later was lucky enough to be able to swapped it without $ in between for a BlizzardPPC/160Mhz/68040/25Mhz w. SCSI

[Cyberus]

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.

@Effy

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...

Why didn't you buy it then?

I sold my Apollo 1240/40 on Ebay for £120 although this was over a year ago.

@Cyberus

How much were you thinking of dude....

Won't commit just yet, but my Apollo card is dead so I might be looking to ressurect my Ami sometime.

I would never sell something on a forum because it's so open to people
trying to convince you of a different value to what it's worth.

Stick it on eBay and let the fight begin.

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!

Apollo never got as high a review score as Phase5's Blizzard boards
but an '040/40 is still a desirable bit of kit.

Isn't there a dance band called Apollo 440?

:-D :-D :-D :-D ;-)

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

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

Gaaaahhhh!

Cyberus : you asked ´Why didn't you buy it then?´ ... at that time, in February, I only had one A1200 with PPC and one A4000/040. But a month ago I got two A1200´s without turboboards and I only have got a Microbotisc 1230XA and a Blizzard 1220/4. That´s why I bought last week a Blizzard PPC 603 160mhz/040 on german Ebay for 116 euro ...

Apollo 440 did the theme to the 'Lost in Space' movie ... amongst other things.  Where's the 'Groovy' guy gone when you need him?

BTW Cyberus has sorted me, so nobody should infer anything negative from my last post :-)

I'd say any 2nd hand Amiga hardware is worth what people will pay for it, saying 'this is worth this much' is daft, the person buying can make up their own mind if they want it, or to hold out for another.  ebay brings out the worst in many people, and I don't see the harm in buying/selling in open forums - it's kinda like saying don't use AutoTrader to look for a new car :-?

[Effy]

And Cyberus is still the owner and he can decided what to sell to who and where. Nothing wrong with that  :-)
