I think it's better to call them NOS technically cause they're as old as any CD32 out there.

So then they are not knock-offs made later after the fall of CBM/Escom/AT/etc ?

Is is possible to boot a CD32 from a CD that contains Workbench?

Yes :-)
My CD32 came with Workbench 3.0 on a CD.
I can't use it for much, though..

But they're still very prone to SMT cap leakages which kill most of the amigas produced with SMT technology (A600, A1200, A4000, CD32).

I'd say unlikely at this point as they have not been used.

Long story short, I've decided to clear out the last 6 from the second and last shipment at dead cost. Buyers at the higher $175 (shipped) asking price will be refunded the difference. If you didn't get the email, let me know.

CD32 for $135 + shipping

First come, first serve. I doubt I'll stock more.

Long story short

I hope it's not because of complaints. :-(

But you did make something from the first shipment, then, though, right? Would be lameness if you didn't make anything for the trouble.

Partially, yes.

Actually to be fair I am refunding the difference to the first buyers. I'm just clearing them out breaking even, just a loss of time.

If that's a butt-load of CD32s then someone's got a big butt! :-P

Nice find. I have to wonder why they have been sitting in their boxes all these years. It would have been easy to find buyers for them years ago.

:lol:
That gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "There is more where that came from" :-P

I'm with Weirdami. Why shouldn't you be allowed making a few bucks on the machines? After all you took some risk buying the stuff and took more risk selling on to others. We all know who gets bothered if one of them fails within the next few years... :-S. So you're way too honest (naive we would say in the netherlands ;-)) and should have pick those few bucks 'profit' per machine. There will always be those who complain.

[bloodline]

if I was Red and annoyed with complaints about these system (though Red is pretty level headed so I'm sure he has other reasons), then I would say; Sod the lot of you, withdraw the units from sale, refund any unshipped orders and make a video the units going up in a bonfire

[ZeBeeDee]

At the end of the day ...

It's Red ...

... who has the CD32's in stock.
... who took the time and trouble to get the CD32's in the first place.
... who makes a huge effort to make these available to us.
... who has overheads and a 'company' to run.
... who supplies us with other goodies in the C= world

Whoever it was making the complaints about his prices, i say this ...

[color=ff0000]SHAME ON YOU![/color][/b]

Red ... Keep up the good work!  :-)

There may be more than one seller in China, but at least one seller has been selling his stock on eBay for the past several years.  I bought one of those about three years ago.

I don't know how many were manufactured in the stock made in the Phillipines, that was never shipped to Commodore just before they went bankrupt, but it must have been perhaps a few thousand, or at least several hundreds.

I feel really bad that Red has decided to dump them at his cost and is considering never stocking them again, as I was one of the people that questioned his price (in private) because I thought since he ordered so many, he must have gotten a big price break on the shipping cost from China.  Red responded that he did not get any price break per unit on his order of multiple units, so I then understood and supported his pricing of his CD32 units.  He has the right to make a profit for his time, trouble and the risk he took to put out a sizable chunk of money to get them here.  I think it was a rip-off that the seller in China did not offer Red a discount on the shipping of his multiple unit purchase that would have allowed Red to sell them for less and still make a profit.

I suspect that Red probably should not have posted a link to the eBay seller where the buyers of Red's units could have purchased their CD32's directly for less money, as this might have led to them complaining after the fact about his price, but I am just guessing.

We all know how cheap some Amiga users can be, it is just a shame that Red was coerced into feeling that he needed to refund some people and sell the rest of his stock at cost.
