make an offer to buy Amiga Inc.

Buy Amiga Inc. ?

I think is possible.

Bill don't have a long term plan for the cash income.

Legal auctions is money loss for him.

A technology fund can make an offer of 3.000.000 Euro.

Do you think Bill will go home?

i hope.............

Even if Bill wanted to sell and you could get the money to buy it would it actually be worth buying??

It is not.  Amiga, Inc. is probably some kind of tax dodge.  They'd no more sell to you than you'd sell the roof off of your house.  I mean, if you offered them ridiculous, Microsoft levels of cash for it?  Sure, maybe.  But it's worth more to them as a legal foil they can wave around and do nothing with than as any kind of a functioning computer company.

wasnt the asking price from amiga inc $10-20 millions or something?.... i guess they sell at that price tag, so anyone that have the money please buy it now!

@A1260

According to AI, there never was an "asking price".

My last point concerns a recent post about another company making offers for Amiga.  This is categorically false.  A bona fide offer was never received.  Amiga received a letter that asked for our financials.  In the phone conversation that followed, we explained to the contact at the other company our current valuation based on the last round of funding we had completed, and then gave them the current valuation on the round that is in the process of closing, and we were told that there was no way they could even get close to those numbers.

The talk of an offer was discussed in this thread in August, 2007.

Current "imaginary" valuation is said to be over 200 million USD.

On the other hand, a real-world evaluation is around $200 USD.   :-D

But only if they've still got that Walker prototype somewhere in their office.

If not, they should consider swapping their company for a boxed Guitar Hero III game running on a platform of their choice (micro$oft xbox, no doubt, knowing Bill).

With the current Euro to Dollar exchange-rate, I think a smart German or Italian could pick it up for about 5 euro ;-)

If I had that kind of money I wouldn't bother buying Amiga, I'd hire a small but talented group of hardware and software engineers and have them design a new computing system, taking the best ideas from previous computer systems as well as some useful new ideas.

I hope Amiga Inc go bankrupt soon. Mobile platforms like Google Android will hopefully become successful soon and make it harder for Amiga Inc to compete.

What is needed here is some one that actually cares for Amiga and not some one who will hold onto something doing nothing.

To be honest if I had the money to do the job I would do it properly never mind others saying its not worth it. If we all had that attitude nothing in the world would ever get done.

The Amiga is worth it, why?
Well look at it this way when the Amiga first came to the world it was advanced way beyond any PC at that time, so if the right people was there to carry it no with it would be so very different to day.
So yes the Amiga is worth it. But the trouble is so many people get there hopes up and then get disappointed, this goes on and on.
We don't need some one holding onto something that does nothing, this is totally useless to the Amiga world.
We have some one who don't give a {bleep} for the Amiga it seem's to me

There has to be some one out there with the power to do some thing about this, never mind all the ohhhhh well Microsoft is top dog.
The technology is out there so is the money its just the person holding the keys. There is no common sense to what is happening its the one who is holding the keys to the problem that cant see it.

F**k am I angry at this.

And I think right now there are to many people with a couldnt care less attitude, cant say as I blame them really, but it don't help.
