are we still sharing crazy ebay postings?

[madgrizzle]

Even weirder is that when I search "Amiga 3000" in both vintage computers and all categories, it doesn't show up.  Somehow I stumbled upon it in some other search.  I'm not sure what's up with their search algorithm.  There's another 3000 for sale by the same computer_preservation group.. It's marginally better because it includes some of the chips:

Not crazy, but if your interested in cloning the Vampire 500+ this auction will do that for you!

Not really a development kit, as there are no details, schematics, board layouts, etc.

And I'd be willing to bet that no one is happy this is being sold.

Oh you can bet right, but this is some good stuff. Anyone that can do this work could easily take the blank card and pay to have it reverse engineered for $600 or less. The parts are nothing special and are all easily ordered off DigiKey. If I had the spare time and money I would be all over this thing.

Also if you look at the seller and have been following Vampire development you would know this was someone with all that at his disposal. I would bet its in that drive as well. At least a good chance of it. He isn't happy from what I have been hearing.

Just passing it on, this is crazy ebay thread after all!

"blisteringly fast and does true multi-tasking, something Windows STILL cannot do!"

HA! Still cannot do, if you're using Windows 3.1 still I suppose. That quote and the price really made me laugh.

Sure Windows 10 can multitask, it has to have that ability so it can send everythibg you do to Microsoft in the background!

I always stay away from buying things from anyone who states ULTRA RARE in their titles.

This hasn't hit the "crazy" level yet but the current bid is unexpected:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Commodore-Amiga-1200-computer-/282699847566?&_trksid=p2056016.m2516.l5255

This amount for a stock A1200, KS 3.0, and no mention of recapping or motherboard rev?

Perhaps because it is a PAL unit?

Congrats, David Wright!


I may just have to put up my NTSC A1200. It is cleaner than this one.

Oh yeah:lol:
That one is mine sir. No mention of recapping because as far as I know it hasn’t been. At least I am besting others by including power supply and mouse.

Did get it from a long time amiga fan and user in England.
Go ahead, test the waters.

[mindprober]

Already too rich for me.

You quoted me before I added my acknowledgement that it was yours.  

Good luck with it! Hope it goes even higher.

Well one stupid mistake I made is listing wrong roms.
This one has 3.1 instead of 3.0 listed. I revised it.

[BozzerBigD]

Wow!!! This A4000 with maxed out PPC/PIV spec went for £1,800!!

Now approaching $400. Wow.

Please ask the winning bidder if there was something specific he was drawn to about this item.

Probably the words
Commodore Amiga 1200

and it's in the US & it's not bastardized! :laugh1:

@jdryyz, PM me first if you wanna give that NTSC A1200 the 'ole heav-ho! :lol:

[Vlabguy1]

Prices seem to be going higher than in the past..which to me is a good thing, as I have a ton of Amiga goodies.  That being said I%&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!8217;m not a seller.  Either way is shows good demand and people willing to get in to the vintage Amiga scene.  .

[mindprober]

Last I checked they were maxing out around $200. Did not think a stock config would be in that much demand.

@gizmo350

I will probably do fleaBay also if I decide to put mine up. I will then probably turn around and try to find a PAL model. I am finding more reasons why it is a better way to go.

You can't even get a nice condish stock A500 for $200 now. These Amiga machines are selling for mad money lately. If you're looking on eBay, you really have to do your homework (if you're gonna mod an A500 best get a rev6a board). I can't even get a decent shape empty A500 case for less than $100 now. I also need a nice condish A500 keyboard which will probably set me back at least $50.

And with these new TerribleFire accelerators, the A500 is selling like hotcakes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yC2vx_fJy8

The A1200 is so hot these days 'cause, well, it's an A1200! :lol: I'm pretty much describing peeps that "are in the know" though. I laugh sometimes when a noob picks up an A1200 and asks "now what?". Yeah, nooby, all these Amiga add-ons are gonna COST you! :roflmao:

I recently found a brand new 21" W/S Gateway LCD in my stash and tried my NTSC A500 with the C= 23pin to 15pin VGA adapter on it and found it syncs down to 15Khz. I'm suddenly a fan of NTSC machines!
