Yes i bought a few things from airey (including a blizzard expansion board) and his prices are pretty fair.

The next ebay trader is I Houghton and generally his prices are over-priced and you can see some of the very same items from hong kong supplier for quarter or half of his price. His expansion boards are approx 40% over priced.

Last and definitely least is Penfold Mole. A profiteer if ever i saw one and an affront to amiga land :destroy:   Prices are often 60-80% over values for these items elsewhere.

As for this freddi-fixer charlatan who would ever purchase a £2000 A1200 from someone with such a name:roflmao:

Obviously his wife told him to sell it ;)

Ah, honey, I guess we have to keep it, no one bid on it......

What we\'re witnessing is the sad, lonely crowing of that last, doomed cock.

Hahaha, it's really a good thing we're not allowed to comment on auctions. Man, how much would that change things.

£1250?!
 
I've never seen one get listed so highly on there! Crazy or what?! :insane:
 
I thought they went for between 35-100£


1200s are worth it :)

Check out http://www.gixen.com

It's free and takes care of that last minute bid for you, used it a couple of times and it seems to work just fine :)
