"Cute pets put bidders at ease."  :-? Really ?? I did it just for fun but it´s nice to know that it has a psychological effect  :lol:

First of all, sorry about your cat.

Brand new would mean something just bought the other day, like new would be something like your item, an item that has been away in storage since it was bought back in the days.

If this particular item is rare I wouldn't know of, but let's face it, the word RARE is used often. I still remember the PowerFlyer ZIV you had advertised as rare, even though it can still be bought new. Anyway, if the word RARE is used in an auction about Amiga hardware is just overlook it, and the word doesn't add any value to the item in my eyes as it would have if the item actually is rare.

DoctorQ : I agree on most points, shall review my own view on the word "brandnew"  :-x (never too old to learn)  :lol: About the rare part, the card itself is far from rare but the total package is since it´s in original box with original manuals and a brandnew, sorry, like new drive  :-)

EDIT : found out there still wasn´t any bid so I rewrote the title to THIS one  :-) I hope this brings again some peace to this thread as it was not meant to cause this kind of commotion about the word "brandnew". I now realize that it has a slightly different meaning than I thought it had ...

And DoctorQ, thanks for your simpathy for our cat ...

Strange. Then what about that batch of a few thousand A1200 they found somewhere in Asia

Three things come to mind;

1. I got one of the 'bad' pile they need to get rid of aswell.

2. The stack of A1200's from Asia is an urban legend.

3. The quality of the stack of A1200's is not like we would like it to be.

anyone else some idea's? This could turn into a nice 'stack from asia'-poll :-).

Sorry, I didn't start the thread in order to criticise the use of the words 'brand new'. I started the thread because I thought it was cool that there was a cat in the pictures.
As an afterthought, I mentioned the 'brand new' thing.
Sorry to hear the little chap died :-(

 What word can I use which doesn´t offend people but still tells the story  

How about the way Redrumloa used to call it , NOS (New Old Stock) ?

Anyway, I'm still waiting to see how Effy will photograph a pair of 3.1 ROMs for an auction.. 8-)

[Effy]

Doobrey : New Old Stock !! Perfect !! Thanks dude !!  :-D

Hey, i was looking at the other stuff you've got here and i was just wondering, are you the guy who puts all the stuff next to your girlfriend's breasts?:inquisitive: I've been wondering about this for some time, and i've noticed one guy always putting his items next to a pair of tits.. Hmmm.. Seems strange to me.. I wouldn't buy something from someone who uses tits to sell an item.. Hmmm.. Just wondering.. :inquisitive:

Sorry to hear about your cat :-(

Eh, I am the one who manages to convince his girlfriend to pose for me, though I have to follow her rules specificly not to show everything, only partial nudity !! For most boys it won´t make any difference but it does to her  :-)

Adz : thanks dude  :-D
