Well....that's the risk of auctioning stuff I guess :-).

You should have put on a reserve. That's what you get. Amiga's are worth what the nut pays for them. You have not met the right nut at the right time. Sorry to see I've missed out. On the other hand shipping it here would have been killing.

You win some, you loose some. The worst thing about ebay is people bid at the last minute, I set this auction at a low starting price i.e. 1 pound. Next time, I will forget about getting a bidding frenzy going, I will have a buy it now price and/or a high starting bid. Instead of getting 20+ low bids, I will get 1 or 2 bids but for a more realistic price.

You are going to regret selling that A600, mark my words!
Anyway your biggest mistake was selling it only to the EU as there are already lots of them over there. Consider that I paid more (well, almost) for a bare A600 (although in a mint condition - never opened) on ebay, and the shipping from the UK did cost a lot, however I think it was well worth it all things considered.

Secondly you should not have sold it with a monitor - those are mostly worthless today as one can get a scandoubler and use any old (or even new) VGA monitor. You could have sold it separately for £5-10.

And it's not the buy-it-now that would have made the difference with such an auction IMHO.

Here in Aus that price would be about right, even a little high!

A500's go for about AU$20 or $5-$10 if you find them in a Good-Sammy's.

A600's not much more, certainly less than $100, probably a bit more for an expanded one?

I sold my A1200 for $140 (105USD / 59Pounds) with a bunch of stuff thrown in for free.

We dont have the population to sustain even a very small Amiga enthusiast group to keep the prices up.

no his biggest mistake was to sell the project as a package, instead of selling by parts. Ild have paid upto $150 just for the 68030 (and I know I'ld still be outbid). But monitor and stuff is a real turn off for overseas bidders.

Secondly you should not have sold it with a monitor - those are mostly worthless today as one can get a scandoubler and use any old (or even new) VGA monitor. You could have sold it separately for £5-10.

yes you're exactly right. though I think the monitor could fetch little bit more.

And it's not the buy-it-now that would have made the difference with such an auction IMHO.

yes, I'm with you here too.

And the bloke who won it shops Amiga apart and sells the them seperatly.
Would never buy anything of him. What a shame. :pissed:
I just missed the auction because my bloody ISP had connection problem. That taught me to wait to the last minute to bid on an Amiga. :boohoo:

you mean not to wait I guess ?

[jj]

I bought an A600 ,no yellowing, never opened, stickers still intact for £8 on ebay , even came with joystick, but only two workbench disks, fonts and locale , lol

[Argus]

That'd be too bad if the auction winner is a chop-shop ebay artist

maybe that info can allow the seller to void the winning bid???
