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

[Cyberus]

Because I know a lot of users are p'd off with ebay, and I want a quick sale, I thought I'd advertise here first.

The Apollo is fully working, in fact I've had it working this morning. It has its box and instructions (anyone who has owned an Apollo will know these are not much to look at!). I will ship anywhere and take many forms of payment (none of you have any blonde sisters by any chance? ;-))
I think I can throw in a single sided 16MB SIMM that works well with the card. I have a rough idea of how much I want, so if no-one offers close to that, I might ebay it anyway.
BTW, its a 40MHz chip on the card.

I can guarantee that it works - People in SE England (I'm in Kent) are welcome to come and collect and see it working.

The Whippet (High speed serial for PCMCIA) is sans instructions and box. I will guarantee it non-DOA though.

Offers?

I just won an 040 on eBay a few months back otherwise I would've offered something for it.

Oh, I do have a blond sister, two of them infact but one's been married 4 years and the other is getting married next year :-P

Even if I wasn't all good on CPU cards for the A1200 (already have B1260, BPPC040) I would still have a good think about it before going for the A1240 for a number of reasons (timing, mem, heat etc).

When it work though it should be good. :-D

[Cyberus]

Well I've had no problems with it at all. I came back to the Amiga last year, and as a returning user, I was mightily impressed with the speed in my A1200T.
In any case, aren't PPC boards far more flaky?

[Brian]

The different BPPC's I've come acress have all worked in a few different machines so I don't know... some might have probs with them just as some have probs with the A1240. But as said before... when they work they're good.

25 EUR for the Apollo, the Whippet is useless for me.
I actually have an 040/40, but it's a Blizzard 1240 and though it works mostly well there's something weird in it, e.g. can't run Enforcer....

TBH, 25 Euros doesn't justify even going to the Post Office - I guess I'll take my chances with ebay...

[Brian]

25EUR is usually what you have to pay for a spare 040/25 CPU... not a 040/40 CPU card. If I where to bid on such an item I would think that 60-80EURO would be a fair bid.

BTW Cyberus, did you have another 1200 accellerator?  You mentioned one a while back, I PM'd you, but heard nothing.  I was after something that wouldn't melt a regular desktop case ...

Could be interested in Apollo 1240, is it still available?

55 euro exclusive shipping

[Effy]

I meant 55 euro for the Apollo, not for the Whippet. You will have to tell me the extra costs of shipping ... but it´s only an offer. 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 ...

Damn I paid $95 for my Apollo 1240 last year on eBay.  In the USA so I overpaid I know. I actually thought I was a great deal! lol

[Cyberus]

60 UKP is the best offer I've received.

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
