I sold one of these boards a few weeks ago for $269.95 (eBay item  number 160954808679).  It went too fast, which leads me to believe that  the price was too low.  So, this time I have listed this second A2320  for what it normally sells for and I will not lower the price.

I'm confused, his last listing was a 7 day auction, that only got one bid?

How can he think it "went too fast"?

The only bid it got was 4 seconds before the auction ended, so clearly it isn't worth any more than that!

I think the seller of the Amber card might be George Campbell AKA Doommaster.
The item is in Oregon the same area that Doomy is known to live.
Avoid him at all costs.

Google him if you need more info.

But unfortunately he's right.  Previous one sold for a pretty amount. Supply and demand folks.
The point is attention drives the price. Ignore him and if it doesn't sell. It'll come down. Give interest and attention and it'll stay at that price.

For an A2320?  Lord knows an Indivision ECS is cheaper, leaves the video slot free, and has better modes.

Yep, that sounds like doomy and is, although he lives in beaverton. When I decided to go back into my old hobby last year I didnt know about his reputation. Wanted an A2000 and had a boxed a500 complete with a520, psu, manual etc. He wanted 100 for the 2000 and took the 500.... a couple of days later the psu of the 2000 started smoking...:argue:

I asked him for a new one but he said to drop it off and he would fix it....

Good I didnt and replaced the psu myself....

Unfortunately this knucklehead IS.

I emailed him to let him know one just this week had sold for $130 and his response was he couldn't be responsible for what other sellers sold their stuff for and IF it didn't sell he was going to RAISE the price!

Really?!?!?!

I got a 2320 from a guy on Amibay for $125.00 shipped.
But there is one born every minute. :laughing:

Because "too fast" is a matter of opinion. His/her experience/opinion may be that items that take 3 months to sell are sold at a price that "they are worth" - because by then the market has had the opportunity to value the items at it's maximum (read: sold at the highest possible price for the seller), even if, in most other peoples opinion, they are asking "too much".

+1, that was my understanding of what he meant by too fast. First listing.  There was a guy o'er in Oz selling a vanilla A2000 for $499 listed for over 18 months ago, he's stopped listing it now, so I'm guessing it sold.  Time isn't important for these people, it's the price you can get for product.  Personally I'd care more about the home the unit was going to and the fact that it would be looked after.  I'd get more joy giving away one of my A500's to someone who would give it a new lease on life rather than make $ on it.  But then again I don't need the money or the income supplementation. Other people do this as a business.
The market rules the price. Aside: The Scotts and Yankees started this whole business off in the 1700s with tobacco.

@psxphill: The A4000 went for $790.  We might think that's ludicrous.  I kinda do, but for a fastidious collector it might have had all the right elements.  Obviously at least 2 of them thought it did.  Either that or there was a phantom in there.

Also I don't think you compare a Indvision with an a2320. One is vintage the other new,ish.

Having said that you can get this one for $160 au: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Amiga-2000-2320-Amber-card-P-/200905030438?pt=AU_Computers_Vintage&hash=item2ec6df7b26

I'm out of Oregon myself and tried dealing with him before.. He posts a bunch of Craigslist ads as well.. I answered a couple of them and he was a headache to even talk to him on the phone... At least now he leaves his name and number on all his CL ads so I know to avoid him...

Wow! It looks like the A500 is going to leap from the table in embarrassment!

He's back on eBay with the "Ultimate A4000T" listed for $2000!

Let us see how long the listing lasts.

DO NOT DO IT!!!!!! The account is hacked big time. ALL items under the user are $2000 and the weird thing is, it will redirect you to a site outside of EBAY that looks like ebay. I never saw that from Ebay's site yet.
It will prompt you to enter the username and password and then they have your credentials.
I had to change my password really fast before they will. I hope I was fast...
