Ooh! I think I've touched a nerve!! :-)

I used the "ask a question" function and mentioned that this was pirated software... The seller has responded!

Hey, Cheers for telling ebay that i had pirated software, for your information you clown this software is legal, i own many copies, and im not charging people for the software, im charging for my time put into creating this, so next time you run off and shoot your mouth off consider asking about it, or stfu ok.


So do we really think this particular seller has a license to sell Kickstart ROMs and OS3.9 CDs???!

Another reply, after I mentioned that the Kickstart ROMs and OS3.9 are both still copyrighted:

Quote
dude you got to much time on your hands,the kickstart roms are rips that i spent many hours ripping from my amiga hardware and the OS3.9 i brought 10 copies from the UK for $50 each im just trying to help preserve our amigas, but you are a tool trying to accuse everyone, get a job u nub or get a wife to satisfy your life, do something useful, hahha the fact of the matter is i'm 26 years old and own every amiga model ever made your probably 40-50 and own a A500 u nub gtfo.


Seems interesting that he "brought" his copies for $50 each and is now selling them at a loss...

I guess this is the final reply... I pointed out that his efforts undermine the real dealers, and that OS3.9 and Amiga Forever are widely available legal options:

dude i have a job i earn money, i dont carer about the money, i was charging for my time but meh! i don't care im over it


I'm so glad he's "over it"!

That auction's already gone. Did you have the seller's ID so we can scrutinize in the future?

hahahaha, and his Mobile phone auction is gone too.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320076964869
I wonder what this user is going to do with 50 copies. ?

Quantity:   1 lot available (50 items each)
Cost per item:    AU $0.40 each (Not sold individually)

Right, so if he claims to have bought each copy at $50 each from the UK, and sells an ENTIRE LOT of 50, for AU$20 (40c each).  Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

He deserves a beating for being a hilltop hood wannabe. I can't stand those guys, the way I feel about people who think they're tough rhyming gangsta muthas is totally unprintable.
What's his address? I'll drop by and touch him upside the head with an A500.

A lot of things about the Ebay seller seem reminiscent of Starke (http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=26980):

- mis-spellings
- located in Australia
- the same age Starke claims to be (and seems to think that is a bragging point)
- critizes other users for being "old"
- uses the term "cheers" a lot (okay, lots of Australians might, too)

Here is a post from Starke to compare it to (slightly edited for brevity):

Quote
Are you all INSANE?
I dont think there are many Amiga people on this site who actually want newer and better Amigas, but are truly stuck in the past.
If this is the casde, then no wonders Amiga isnt 2nd yet.

Common guys, surely not everyone here is OLD!!!!

And even if most of you are, If you really thought long and hard about it, you would all be in support of a new Amiga COmputer with New OS4 and Amiga orientated programs and software and game goodies.

BUT NO: ALAS: It seems most of you on this site are stuck, and dont wish to have new Amigas, coz your all afraid that this company AMIGA, now AMIGA Inc with Hyperion their brother, may actually make it to be 2nd best in the world.

[...and from another post by Starke]
I was born in 81, it was another user who was 88.
Cheers  

[...and from another]
P.S.You must not want a new Amiga computer with new stuff, thats fine, you may be old, but Im not that old yet, and nor is the guy who was born in 88, or for that matter, many other users in there 20's

Yes, but imagine his horror as he sees that custard yellow classic attempting to occupy the same space as him.
It'd be kinda like kryptonite... or water to the wicked witch...
