Is this a decent price for this Spec ?

If I really wanted to I'd send it to the amiga center in france and have it modded to an 060.. but I'm not that bothered about it really...

Can you tell me more about the Amiga Centre in France and what they can do with an 040 PPC card ?  

Thanks ...

Pretty much if you supply them an 060 processor (or possibly pay them for one) I think they will fit you one on your boards (to replace your 040)

I know it's possible to be done as I've seen people with it done..

Well, drop them an e-mail and say what u wanna do and they'll tell u what you need to do and what it'll cost

Have decided to remove the comment and give this person another week ...

Dude that sucks... have you contacted E-Bay?

A quick update for you all ...

The Amiga eventually arrived 3 weeks after the cheque was sent to the seller.  The box that the Amiga was packed in was in a really bad way and had not been taped properly.  The seller had not used any polystyrene packing at all, like he promised to use and the whole thing was in a bit of a state.  The Parcel Force man said he would not blame my other half for not accepting it as he would do the same ! (I was at work at the time).  So the item was refused and sent back to the sender.  I had already emailed the seller to ask for my money back as he had had my cash for 2 weeks after the cheque had cleared without sending me the Amiga and I just wanted my cash back.

Anyway, we are now 2 weeks on from the date the Amiga was sent back to him and I still do not have my money back.  Nor do I have any reply at all to any email I have sent to him.  

I am sorry to say that I have now had to take legal advice to try and recover my money (Originally £316.35 inc postage costs).  I have told the seller that I will happily accept the postal charges as the item was refused and sent back (due to the bad packing of it) and I have also said I will cover his ebay costs if he just sends me the balance - but no response !

If anyone sees this Amiga on ebay again it is being sold illegally so please avoid it !!!

I have had a conversation with the Police and they have said there may be grounds for criminal proceedings on the grounds of theft.


Thanks.

Hi again - yet another update ...

How weird is this ? ...

Having heard nothing at all from the seller after 4 weeks had passed since the Amiga was returned to him, I contacted Parcel Force out of curiosity, just to make sure the Amiga did actually get sent back to him.  Eureka !!!  After several calls and and a couple of call-backs, it transpired that the Amiga was sitting in Parcel Force's depot with no label on it, so they did not know where to send it back to.  So it had just been sitting there in the depot for 4 weeks, doing nothing and going nowhere.

So, I take back the moaning re the sender not responding to my emails (although you would have thought he would at least have replied to at least one of the emails I sent, saying he had never received it back etc !  Could have saved me a lot of time and worry).  Anyway, I arranged for Parcel Force to re-deliver the machine and it turned up today.  The box is a bit battered and the 2nd box of software is still "in transit" and on its way to me.  I haven't checked it yet so wish me luck - hopefully the 1200, the PPC card and BVision will all be ok having been hauled up and down the UK's motorways for several weeks.

This is definitely the end of this post.

Phew !!!
