amazing news from Holland
« on: July 10, 2007, 08:07:11 PM »
Thrue a dutch auction-site I read a message of a guy near my place who gave all his amiga stuff away for just a bunch of flowers!
I phoned the man, introduced my self and asked if he still had the mentioned parts:
(first in dutch, than translated)

de amiga 1200 4mb met veel toebehooren veel software wie het wil mag het komen halen tegen een mooie bos bloemen.

The Amiga 1200 4MB with many accessories, al lot of software Who wants to have, has to pick it up (trade) for flowers

He explained some contents: monitors, cd-player, many many disks, video editor... and many more....:lol:

I was suprised all the stuff wasn't sold yet!
I told him I am going to pick it up thursday, I will keep you in touch! :lol:
I will try to specify all the things, maybe one of you is looking for something special.

I saw the ad, I just thought it was too far away. Plus, I'm not really looking for an A1200.

By the way, the title of this topic is very misleading...

At first, I thought it was a news message that Dennis had released his Minimig :lol:

What kind of flowers and what how many is a bunch of them? Can you just stop on the road and pick up some dandelions to give him?

Flower is a euphemism for girl parts. Maybe you could stop at a taco stand on the way in.  :oops:

 Definitely take some friends along to help carry the Amiga stuff,AND in case of trouble!
 I once went to a really small computer shop and after producing the computer board from the newspaper ad he wanted me to go with him to his house behind the shop to see more stuff? My weirdness detector was already at "red alert" so I got out fast and never went back.

On the other hand, maybe his Missus told him to get rid OR ELSE. The flowers then would be to placate her  :lol:
