Crazy Ebay Sellers
« on: January 17, 2011, 03:53:24 PM »
We're all used to crazy Ebay sellers;

Like Doomys 'Military Spec' A2000 or crazy prices for accelerators.

I've never seen anything like this;

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Amiga-ROM-CHIP-Socket-ideal-projects-fair-cond-used-/310263524924?pt=UK_VintageComputing_RL&hash=item483d25ae3c#ht_588wt_1139

He's selling a standard DIL socket hacked from a piece of an Amiga motherboard. It looks like it was hacked by a drunk person with Parkinsons using a pair of blunt scissors.

Bizarre!
