/me cries like a baby - I didn't win this auction ;-(
« on: September 19, 2003, 12:41:13 PM »
A4000 local to me.

I was winning bidder at $299 until the last ~hour when 1 lousey person outbid me. Obviously a video guy because I re-bid up to $400 and was still outbid:-( That's more than this box is worth IMO, shame. No way I was going higher than that. I was actually going to keep this box to play with, oh well. Maybe next time :-D

What happened to the last one you got? Or did I miss something?

That's always annoying. Last month I thought I was in for a Motorola Powermac clone on the cheap, until some bugger outbid me  :-( Yeah, yeah that's how auctions work, etc :-D  

That A4000 looks like a nice example, although it's a little bit strange they didn't show a photo of the front panel of the main unit.

1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

You missed something:-) I sold the motherboard to an AO member. Purely buisness on that one, it was lacking a power supply so I parted it out. The remaining parts will be put on eBay shortly.

Hmm, bells are ringing now...

Maybe I didnt miss it but it was simply lost in that hole-ridden vacuous excuse for a memory I'm developing...

My A4000/040 with CV64, Toccata, Ariadne and DPS PAR + the odd soft and some books finally went for about 800€/900$.  Some of it was sold together, the rest was sold as seperate items.  A few items are still being bid on right now, amazing thing is I had a bid on each and every item, no leftovers  :-)

@tintin

Yeah parting a system out is the way to go. You probably would have goen half of that if you sold it all together. Trust me I know this from first hand experience.

Ouch! I once bid on an A1200T-system. Ateo busboard, 040@50, 64mb RAM, Pixel64 Gfx-card, sound card, etc. I was outbid five minutes before the auction ended... :(

Its happend to me as well sometimes when there is less than a minute to go, thats why i prefer opera for ebay. You can have one window open with the  item to bid on and enable refresh every 1minute or every 15 seconds, and another with a higher bid just waiting for you to confirm it ,use the tile mode to get both windows alongside when it near to the end of item like in the last 1minute to 45 seconds confirm the bid in the second window . :-)

Yeah, I know the feeling.. My 2000 went 'pop' last week (It had been on it's last legs for over a year) -- and I thought it would be time to maybe replace it with a 3000...

Just as I was tooling around looking for my ebay password, this guy Redrum-somethingorother- put a bid down on it :P

I'm hanging back to see if anyone else is gonna push the price up :)

Cheers!
