Blizzard PPC 060/240/SCSI on eBay

[doctorq]

I have just followed in the steps of mdma and listed a Blizzard PPC board with no reserve price on eBay. You can see the auction here... Happy bidding.

[X-ray]

I would recommend that whoever wins that auction specifies that the item be insured and sent registered/tracked mail. I only lost 35 Euros, but I would hate to see somebody lose a couple of hundred Euros because of a postal problem.

Less than 8 hours left of the auction, go ahead and bid, you know you want to ;-)

Very very nice board. I wish i had the money to get it.... :boohoo:

[Vincent]

I'm surprised it's still well below £100 with 3 hours to go.

Thought it might just've broken that barrier by now.

[doctorq]

Less than 2 hours to go, and still at 56 GBP. Don't miss out on this one ladies and gentlemen.

[Vincent]

If I had the money and Paypal then I'd be bidding on this to replace my BPPC040...

Vincent, read carefully before bidding. The worst thing doctorq needs about this auction is a misinformed bidder who didn't read the description too well.

@ Vincent

"..However, any ram attached to the board isn't recognised, and therefore it is not possible for me to check if the PPC CPU still works either. I have already tried to use ram sticks that is confirmed to work, but to no avail Therefore I can only sell this board as defective, but maybe someone with electronics skills can bring the card back to its full potential.."
----------------------------------------------------------

That's why the price stays low.

Current bid: £60.01 and still 42 minutes to go ...

@ X56

Indeed, any confusion could have been better avoided if the seller stated that the board is defective, somewhat earlier in the description...perhaps even in the short item description.

I have also placed a few bids, knowing very well what the problem is.  :lol:

@ Effy

Actually, I find that perversely funny. It has made my day. Thanks for that. I had to think carefully what you mean but now I also  :lol:

[Effy]

There are two options with this card :

1) have the Ram thingy fixed
2) use the processors to upgrade a BPPC 160/040 card

Both options are clearly not for beginners like me. The only experience I have is watching with admiration how a pro does it   :lol:

That's exactly what I was thinking :-)

Especially that last part :-D
