FS on ebay - A3000T-040, X-Surf, Deneb, Cybervision and more.

[mauidj]

I have just posted my A3000T-040 on ebay. This A3000T is in good overall condition and is working perfectly.  It comes with an Amiga keyboard and Amiga 2 button mouse. Slight case scratches and yellowing. The battery has been removed with no sign of leakage. Includes two floppy drives (one without eject button), CD-ROM Drive (don't know if it works as I have no driver for it) and a brand new 2.1Gig SCSI HD. Also has the Super Buster 11 chip. I have included a complete set of Workbench 3.0 disks and manuals.

Also for sale are brand new X-Surf and Deneb USB boards. Cybervision 64/3D card and other items.

I noticed that you are also selling an AmigaOS 3.9 CD. If it is an original one from pressing factory (no the cd-rs that were distributed here and there) I am interested. Pleae give me detials so that I can bid or make a straight deal with you.

It is an original I purchased for Amigakit but never used.

Boy Ebay has changed since I last used it! Anyways, thanks for canceling my bid (pandaninjatux)!!! I rejoined Ebay..just to bid on your item! I still have my Paypal Account that IS verified, but I guess that's not enough these days!

I understand people being worried about getting ripped off on Ebay. I lost over $2k a long time ago...which is why I quit! But, if every seller starts canceling bids from people with ZERO feedback, then nobody new can bid on anything. Crap like this makes me glad I left!

Good luck with your auction!


EDIT: Oh...and no you've ended the auction early....

I'm really sorry to have cancelled your bid but I did state very clearly that zero feedback buyers should contact me first. I would then have done due diligence and we could have continued. A while ago I lost a very expensive Apple computer valued at over $3000 to a zero feedback buyer!
So I just needed to be cautious.
The computer has now been sold. But thank you sincerely for your interest.

3000t sold!

Well, had I seen your terms I would have contacted you...Info like that should be at the TOP of the Ad, IMHO. And as a seller (I was a seller on Ebay for a long time) you could have contacted me. Plus you required a paypal account to bid, so it makes it a little more difficult to screw you over. My bid stayed in place for a long time...and then minutes after canceling my bid you cancel the auction. So, in my eyes you canceled my bid so you could end the auction and sell it to someone else that made you a nice offer. This defeats the purpose of Ebay and I personally think that sellers should be fined for such actions. Just my $0.02.

Had the auction continued after you canceled my bid then I would think differently! In the future, I would recommend you place the Ad on this site first and give people here a chance to buy it (you would probably get a better deal too), before putting it on Ebay.

As I said, I lost money on Ebay too...and it was from someone with a high-rating!

I stopped coming to this forum over a year ago because of several abusive and just plain mean spirited comments I received to my newbee questions about using an Amiga.
Guess I'm out of here again. You can assume all you want of my motives but that's all they are is assumptions.
Please don't tell me how I should do things...just because you can't read the whole eBay ad is not my fault.
I did nothing illegal or wrong. I called eBay before removing the listing and actually did it while in contact with them to assure my adherence to the rules.
Like you said...if you had seen the notice you would have contacted me....sounds like your fault not mine.
My listing clearly stated that bids would be removed with no prior contact.
As for selling to someone outside of the system, you are 100% wrong.
Finally I placed the notice on this site to make people aware of the sale. I am under no obligation to give you a chance to buy it before the rest of the world.
Guess I won't bother in future. :-(

I don't think my post was mean-spirited or abusive. It was merely an observation on my part. I admitted to not seeing the terms. I never said you did anything illegal. I also never "told" you how to do anything...merely recommended. As for selling to someone outside the system, I was wrong? Then who bought it? I was the ONLY bidder! Surely you can see things from my point of view...I was the ONLY bidder, my bid was allowed to remain for some time, my bid was canceled, minutes later auction was canceled, then item was apparently sold. I would have had the decency to contact a bidder before canceling the bid...but that's just me. No you are not under obligation to give me or anyone else a chance to buy...you made that clear. Back when I was a seller on Ebay, once you placed an Ad you could not cancel it without a very good reason. I guess that has changed.

If my post(s) offend you then I apologize. But, your actions struck a nerve with me and I merely posted my take on the chain of events. Good luck with your future Ads...I for one will not be bidding on them...

@palemoon

While I can understand your frustration, your bid was canceled in accordance with the terms of the auction. Whoever he sold it to after the fact is irrelevant, simply put this really just sounds like a bunch of sour grapes.

Anyhow, mauidj is a really nice guy, I would bid on his items without hesitation and do appreciate the "heads up" when someone on the forum has auctions going. (Might throw a bid in on the DENEB. )

[save2600]

LOL!

Oh the irony. I'm currently having PayPal go after Palemoon (Ed admin@digitalorb.com) for scamming me out of $300 on that Mac Mini system. Lie after lie. Promise after promise. It would appear Mauidj had a sixth sense about him that I ignored all in the name of a "good deal".  Ha!
 
He's now "punishing" me for filing a claim TWO whole days after he said he'd finally refund my money. Instead, he's ceased all communication AND not going through with the refund. He claims he "lost money" by someone with high feedback on ePay, so not sure if he's hoping to recoup some of that by trying to screw me or what. Ummm wrong. I will not let this die until I get my money back.

BTW: We should have a known bad traders list here. Some of the other forums have such a thread and searching, before purchasing, is real easy. Food for thought.

Glad I didn't sell that lamer my 3000T a few months ago!

[save2600]

I was wondering if you had... whew! But I seriously doubt the deal would have gone through anyway.

Sorry for hi-jacking the thread. Only caught this one as I was doing a search for his other posts. In case there were any red flags that I missed. And yep, there was  

[motrucker]

Paypal should get your money back to you, IF this guy has left anything in his Paypal account (bank account and/or credit card). They are pretty good about this - have saved my bacon before!
Hope they can help you out.

I'm still trying to find a cheap C-128 to replace the setup my ex-landlord stole from my while I was moving. I guess we can get it from any/all sides these days! At least I saved the Amigas!!
