The other funny thing is when you click on "Systems". It just lists A1s. Every other reseller here that is still going strong lists a lot more Classic items instead.

Isn't it a confirmed fact that some other dealer (Was it Amigakit? Can't remember) acquired their classic amiga stuff?

He's going out of business why?


Cut him some slack. That was no different than most AmigaOne dealers at the time, actually many A1 dealers didn't even have a functional website. Unless you happen upon a warehouse of old retro stuff, not just once but over and over, it is nearly impossible to stock a store with classic hardware. Even still, it hardly makes enough money to justify a bedroom operation. Even though the markup on Teronboards when slapped with a boing sticker was more than classic hardware, still all of these AmigaOne dealers were bedroom operations. They made money per board purchase, but it didn’t last long and there was practically nothing to sell along with it.

I can understand the desire to want to be a reseller of Amiga NG product, but there was no product to sell. Only A1/Teron boards.

There is a reason I never attempted to resell "AmigaOnes". I did mostly keep my mouth shut why at the time in respect to those with a different opinion than my own. The Teron boards are utter garbage.
Someone has to state the obvious and that someone is me!

I have no problem in cutting him some slack.  But, personally I would have left it as saying a few factors have caused my business to shut down, rather than stating a problem with Eyetech.

I wish him the best in future endeavours.
