Selling a Picasso-IV without the packaged scandoubler is like selling a car without a rear view mirror. You can see behind you by sticking your head out the window but it doesn't make things particularly user-friendly and you'd expect it to come with the car!

The P-IV's scandoubler/flicker-fixer is renowned for it's superiority to every other on the market and the fact it was included as part of the board OEM is the reason behind it's high review scores, reputation and resale potential.

Just because the picture didn't show the scandoubler snap-off doesn't mean this is binding. It is taken for granted that this is included in a P-IV so how is one to know which section is missing from a board the size of a shoebox?

My mistake (getting old, memory is bad)  Hehehe The optionnal board that I could attach to the PIV was an audio related component which I can't remember the name or usage exactly.

EDIT: After checking the URL above I saw the "Concierto sound card", that was the add-on I got with my PIV.  aahh...souvenirs...

"...Just because the edge connector wasn't shown, doesn't mean it shouldn't be included. The description lists a Piv, not a Piv minus some bits. What has been delivered is not a complete Piv. There is no reason why every component must be shown in the photo, in order for it to be reasonably expected as being included in the purchase..."

Exactly, my mate, EXACTLY!!

problem here is this.

you have 10 to 15 year old computer parts that may have had several owners. factor that with the fact that some ebay sellers have little clue what they are selling other than a name and google info and you might be "missing several bits" and the seller has no idea.

you buy something on a description and pic and then tell him something is missing and youll have a tough time making your point. for all he knows the item is fine

always ask for better pics and ask questions. some of this stuff is expensive and most of it is old, if something might be wrong better find out before.

Very true, but this seller sells a lot of Amiga parts, and prices them accordingly, they also have sold lots of other PIV's.
