are we still sharing crazy ebay postings?

Perhaps they could do a split sale: 1) Amiga A500 Back-plane 2) Vintage 30 year-old vintage dust?

This is a dang nice looking system here.  Price probably isn't even too crazy.

I have one still in the original box that I never unpacked anything but the computer, to set up as an identical A4000T to my main one.  Putting in the CSPPC the case shifted on the work table and left a scratch on the back :confused:

Manuals, disks mouse, keyboard, and stand have never been touched since I bought it from Software Hut in 1996.

1950 is more than they cost when soft hut still sold them .... :laughing:

In economics, inflation is a sustained increase in the general price level of goods and services in an economy over a period of time. When the price level rises, each unit of currency buys fewer goods and services. Consequently, inflation reflects a reduction in the purchasing power per unit of money – a loss of real value in the medium of exchange and unit of account within the economy. A chief measure of price inflation is the inflation rate, the annualized percentage change in a general price index (normally the consumer price index) over time.

In other, brief words: noone was desperate enough to spend his inflated dollars on this

[danbeaver]

It depends on the first three rules of real estate: location, location, location.

In the 1990's America they handed out A4000T's with every McDonald's happy meal, while in Europe they handed out croissants.  So buyers in the states find one in every garbage bin in all the bars, in all the cities, in their world.  Your favorite girlfriend walks into mine.

On closer inspection only the keys are like an Amiga.
A quick search and I found information about it.

Wow, that unit has one of the most powerful CPU's ever designed, what a steel . . . .:lol:

[danbeaver]

What is a "Manual Power supply?"

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

What is a "Manual Power supply?"

Their copy & paste formatting job is crap.  It says "original manual", blah blah, something else about power supply.

Where does it say anything about "Amiga components inside"?  :lol:

Steal?

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

Steal?

Blue steel, baby!

Here is a fun listing:  http://www.ebay.com/itm/Commodore-Amiga-2000-Model-US-ASCII-VERSION-/311360426364?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item487e87117c

Yes folks; this a sale of the ASCII version, not the common IBM EBCDIC version!

A once is a lifetime deal for a rare ASCII keyboard!

Being a US version, it won't work on PAL systems, and you Canadians are SOL too, as it won't spell "Color" as "Colour."

:lol:

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

A once is a lifetime deal for a rare ASCII keyboard!:lol:

I swear, people that know nothing about computers should just give this stuff to folks who do, to list.  

Wonder if he'll give you a discount on this other swell item he has for sale, if you get the keyboard, too?  OMG!  Yikes!

[danbeaver]

Well let's hope he got the listing right on this item: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ADULT-BRASS-ROUND-CYLINDER-SOLID-BRASS-CREMATION-URN-/391081183896?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5b0e414a98

It would be uncomfortable to know it was still in use...
