Well,i bought a A600 from this guy,it was in "good shape" supposedly. Well it finally arrived after 13 days!!!! thats 13 days after he GOT the money order.i powered it up and it ran ok for about an hour or so,then i rebooted it and the HD died,sits there making a knocking noise and won't spin up.... Hmm go figure.its possible shipping caused it,but i doubt it,since the packing was adequate and the box came completely intact. I think the drive was on its way out. I've emailed him to see if he's going to make good on it,but i suspect he's going to try and stiff me on it.
He also  gouges for shipping BAD..ridiculous handling charges etc.
the guy doesn't even realise that USPS puts the price he paid for shipping on the label they stick on.. it was less than half of what he charged me.
Oh,and theres no highspeed/low drag packing as the auction states,it had regular old clear packing tape on it,inside the 600 was in bubble wrap and padded with crumpled paper packing. nothing special.

good one to avoid Imho.

i'll keep you posted on how this plays out.


communication is pitiful,hard to get a answer on any items he has listed.

@ thread

I really don't like this bloke. It does sound like Doomey or retrogeek and he's so full of it.

Games are not better, they are differnet. AMIGA certainly can't blow the dooors of a modern day console like X box or PS2 in terms of graphics or sound or speed.

I also know a few games I love on my PS2 that my AMIGA would never be able to run as a classic version. Perhaps a new A1 could emulate the PS2 and do it with the sheer grunt of a fast modern CPU.

As for arcade gaming and being able to run it on AMIGA...
There are plenty of arcade machienes that can't be run under AMIGA even using emulation like MAME as the computer is way too slow. There may be one or tow that used an AMIGA, however there were many, many more that did not.

Also his selling technique is so disgusting. It's people like this that make AMIGA look dirty and bad. There's just no need to be like this. I really don't like this person very much. I wish he would leave AMIGA alone.
It's not the question, that is the problem, it is the problem, that is the question.

I don't want to sound slightly hypocritical, but its Doomy, get over it. He loves the attention, so much so that he noticed this thread and posted on it.
I like Amigas

Glad i got beat on that bid for the a3000T. Sniped by 2.50 at the last minute. I felt dumb for bidding 200 on it, after i reread the desc and didnt see any promise that it worked. That case looked good though, and i got a naked 3000 laying around...
