{bleep}, guys, I've gotta go.  My wife just called me on the идшяяфкв, and her идшяяфкв broke down on the way home from work.  Great.  Now I have to call a идшяяфквtruck and get идшяяфкв repairs done :(
Back away from the EU-SSR!

One thing that puzzled me, was that one of the borads apparently had a 260 MHz PPC..

I cannot of course be sure, but it does seem to show some of the signs of fraud.  There seems to be a considerable number of rather rare cards and a location for the seller where you would not expect to find many of that type of card.  The seller seems to have a low feedback and limited experience.  How did he come by so many cards of this type?  It is also the sort of item with which there have been several notorious cases of fraud of precisely this type, involving multiple customers over the past several years.  That sort of card is also well known among fraudsters to be in considerable demand.

I was not able to see the prices.  Did they seem unusually low?  If so, that would be another sign.  Watch out for this dealer.

To me it was simple not to bite:
- Stock photos
- Seller with feedback of 2
- Many rare cards in russia

What was okay:
- Product types
- Prices (tad on the + side)

Had it been one of the known sellers, I'd believed in it. And even using non-stock photos might have baffeled me.

But ofcourse, we have no proof that this was a fraud attempt, only circumstantial evidence.

Yes, it's realy looks like fraud (did he remove all lots, or someone buy it?)

You wrong about country - he's from Poland and not from Russia. Yes, it rare card for Russia, but in Poland was big amiga community, and some amiga markets, like efinzine, so there is a chance, that all this blizzars realy can be there...

Guys: no fraud at all. You can be 100% sure this guy, even with low feedback is genuine.

I know in person his "supplier", one of the biggest , if not THE biggest, Amiga user/collector/seller in Poland.

Apparently , he bought ALL the PPC cards this other guy had, and put them on ebay..

I repeat, i dont know him in person, i only know in person the supplier (at least he told me that he bought off all the PPC cards from him, after we exchange a couple of very friendly emails) but i would say there is no fraud at all

You can find the name of the original supplier if you look carefully into the pictures, there is his name....
 :-D

If i had the money i would jump straight into those cards!

And yes, Poland was/is a very big Amiga community/scene

During my staying in Poland last year, i had the chance of meeting ate least 5 Amiga users, all from one single city (Lodz), so my guess is that in Poland Amiga is still quite popular...

Just my 2 cents...
