Well, i did pay more than that for my dual MSD drive for my C= 64
Iirc I paid $550.00 for mine brand new + $50.00 for the extra ram chip to turn it into an ultra high speed commercial copier.  18 seconds to copy 1 side of a disk with full verify.  I was in heaven. :knuddel:

I contacted the seller and he reported he had already sold one to a person in The Netherlands for more than that!

While I am a bit skeptical, I do know from past experience that quite often people from overseas (from the States) do tend to throw a bit more money around than we Americans are right now.

Actually, lied, my dad bought the MSD drive (but i did have the receipt) , and he gave it to me when he moved on to IBM clones.... I was way to young at the time to come up with that kind of scratch mowing lawns :)

It was an awesome drive as long as you ran cracked software. I even had the IEEE interface which made it even less compatible :)

Floppy drive
Who would pay that much for it? I guess the original box is worth that much... not!
You could buy several floppy simulators for that price.

The 1541 II Floppy is cheap at only US$520 from the same loser...

A500 board
Does that mean that I  can have a "FAT AGNUS LOGIC BOARD" by simply butchering the power connector and adding a 512k RAM expansion to a really old A500 board?

Well, the listing isn't there anymore.

Wonder if he finally got his meds adjusted...

Actually, if you were to move the decimal point one place to the left, the prices would be fine ;-)
