Do an Amiga.org search and see. :-)
Ocasionally he puts something on eBay that starts with a normal price, however 99% of his stuff is extremely overpriced.

BTW, he browses a.org for sure. How I know? I am banned from bidding on his auctions. :lol:
Tried to bid once on an item of his that was normally priced, and I got a message "This eBay member has put you in his banned bidders list", or something along those lines...can't remember the exact wording. :-)

Must be due to me bashing him on a.org. :-)

Ja, some users here had problems with him a few months ago.
Any bets on whether someone bids?

I'm betting that noone bids. However, I don't think that the odds will be high :-D

Ja, he has two things against him: he's had bad dealings before and he has a high start price.
And he has one thing in his favour: it is a highly-sought board.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Let me relate the story of the monkey and the pumpkin:

An African farmer was plagued by a troop of monkeys damaging his fruit and wrecking his enclosures. He didn't have the means or the inclination to shoot them, so he devised a trap, a simple trap guaranteed to work. He got a huge pumpkin and cut a small circular hole in it and left this pumpkin in a place that had been visited by the monkeys.
Early the next morning there was a ruckus in the garden. It was a monkey chattering excitedly. He had reached into the hole and grabbed a handful of pumpkin seeds but now he couldn't withdraw his fist. He was stuck. And the pumpkin was too big for him to drag away so there he sat, making a hell of a fuss as the farmer approached. Such was the nature of the monkey that he didn't comprehend to release the pips in order to escape. And he was caught.

There is something in that story for any potential parties to that transaction  :-P

I do remember someone on a.org bought an A3000T m/b from this seller with the 'don't know if it works' caveat and it turned out the m/b was completely destroyed by battery and/or previous ham-fisted hacking damage.  Caveat emptor lads!


ooh, I see it's a Cyberstormppc for sale.  Tempting, but probably dead....

Well it does say it's guaranteed against being DOA. I should bloody well think so at that price!

My dream! :roll: Bu personally I'd cut that price by 90% and drop all those "freebies" - there's no need for such a big disk, a 9,1 gig would be more than adequate. And I already have a set of four lovey Crucial 32MB SIMMs waiting for a Cyberstorm coming my place some day... ;-)
Cheers...

I bought a CV64/3D from this seller a few years ago for a reasonably fair price. Working fine in my 4000T to this day.

If that PPC sells, though, I'll eat my hat. It apparently comes bundled with some other gear, but that still seems like at least twice what it's all worth.
