Hi

As i'm quite p**d off with ebay I am selling my set in parts now.

At the moment for sale is my Blizzard.

I'm waiting for offers through PM or wiktorglowacki[at]yahoo.ie

If I won't get anything which I'm expecting, card will go on ebay at the weekend.

Regards

Have you considered Amibay?

[pampers]

I would like to see what offers I can get. At AmiBay I need to put fixed price.

I've had better luck moving stuff on Amibay lately. Old Amiga parts are like autos. Price your wares at what you'd like to get for it, but denote obo (or near enough). Serious prospects will still talk to you in any event.

Having said that and if you're bent on waiting for offers here, I'll start it out at  $50. Euros, Dollars, Pounds, Rupees - take your pick

I'm not trying to be mean but, I don't get why so many people put stuff on here and ask for offers? Nobody is going to offer you what you want for it or they are going to offer you something like $100 for it.

[pampers]

I've already got one serious offer I have to say. I think anyway I will go on ebay, at the very end that's the biggest market.. (doesn't matter how annoyin they are)

[spihunter]

Your going to get a lot more for it on ebay...There are plenty of folks with deep pockets and no sense on the Amiga section over there....no smiley! it's the truth...

Amibay is probably your best bet (or forum offers); eBay isn't bad for buy-it-nows these days but I avoid avoid AVOID the auctions.  Wasn't someone selling a SW copy of Falcon for the CDTV for like $2000 recently?

I've seen equally crazy stuff in the D&D book resale market, too - RARE UNOPENED D&D MODULE KEEP ON THE BORDERLANDS BUY IT NOW FOR $600.00 and such (for the uninitiated, that adventure book was printed in the millions of copies and sold as a starter module inside boxed rule sets, there is nothing rare about it - even my autographed copy is probably not worth the paper it's printed on...)

[pampers]

To be honest - that is what I'm expecting. I badly need cash :/

[a1200]

I will go to 350 GBP. I don't really need it but if you want to avoid eBay, that's my offer.

:thumbs way up:  

+1 man, +1

As there is a few people interested in that lovely ppc I will put in on ebay soon and keep you updated with the link. Cheers.

Best thing to do is just look at the selling rules closely. I fail to see what is going wrong, only time I had issues is when I stated on one of my auctions that the buy could send cash in the post under the buyers own risk. eBay though I was promoting the idea apparently. :roll:

Anyway, long story short, I havn't had issues like that in the past and I have sold close to 100 items in the last year. Only issues I have had is with pushy buyers bidding on my items and not wanting them because of overseas costs.
You must be putting something in the discription that is against their rules, what was the reason(s) they gave as to why they took action?

@pampers,

Are you in the UK? If so, I think if I were you I'd schedule the auction to start on Sunday evening or something like that.  I know you're in a rush to get the cash but it seems to me that more people are likely to be at home and in a position to sit at the computer bidding on Ebay on Sunday evenings than any other time of the week.  If you put it on when interested people are likely to be in work then you're not going to get the full effect of the auction.

If you can't wait that long then at least make it an evening when most people are likely to be home from work.  You can schedule the auction for a small cost, which means that Ebay will start the auction for you at the date and time you tell them (just in case you're not going to be home to start it yourself at that time).  That's pretty useful.

I'd buy your PPC card myself but I've already got way too much Amiga stuff including two broken PPC cards so convincing my other half to spend £500 on another BPPC would be a hard sell! It's no good having a nice working BPPC if it means you're out on the street.  My Amiga stuff wouldn't fit in a push cart ;-)

Good luck with the auction.
