I'm guessing he's refering to DeluxePainter  when he says DP

Off topic. What i meant was Transition implied he knows something and won't tell us?

Back on topic. Maybe the guy read this thread and took it down? :confused:

Sounds like he does but he wants us to guess. My money is on Doomy's half brother who he has never met, Gloomy.


Board has now been relisted.   Destruction is still on the cards if it doesn't sell

what is your problem runequester? What is your problem. No that is not me and I dont appreciate you throwing my name around..

To thread, what gives any of you the right to tell another man what he can do with his property and how and when or how much to sell it? What nerve.

You'll undoubtedly forgive me for assuming that a guy saying the same things you do, makes me wonder if it's you.

Yes he has the right to do what he wants but his message is kinda sick....sounds like a threat from a kidnapper:  Give me 250$ or the accelerator gets it!

Sorry our policy is clear: we don't deal with weirdos  ;)


Haha. I enjoyed this post. Thanks  :)
Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.

Anyone is free to do whatever they please with the hardware they own. If they want to sell it for $$$, smash it to bits or bury it in the Earth. I have no right to tell them what to do with their stuff. However, I reserve my right to loathe and despise anyone who isn't community-spirited enough to do the decent thing.

If you want $280 for a PPS/040, fine, ask that much. Good luck to you. If you'd rather smash it than accept $100, you're a retard and need your head examined. If you really want to get top dollar for it, eBay does something called an 'auction', you start low and let the market decide how much the item is worth.

Of course, we all know that (a) it's probably Doomy and (b) the board will never get smashed, it'll go away and come back again later when he feels like trying again... Assuming the board even exists.

These people seem to believe that this will somehow improve their ability to sell things, as the guy who said above, it's almost like a ransom "Pay $$$ or the CPU card gets it!" The fact is that the Amiga community is sick and tired of being treated like fools and we won't fall for that sort of crap.

I once had a guy grab a free Amiga 500 with hard drive sidecar off a freecycle offer minutes before me - even though I was a regular Amiga user and he wasn't.  He just grabbed it from the owner because it was something free and he wanted to fool around with it to see what it was.  I appealed to the owner that I was an actual Amiga user but I accepted it as "fair is fair" - this guy beat me to the punch.

But then after a week had passed the guy who received the free Amiga 500 with hard drive got bored, or realised he couldn't actually use it.  He then e-mailed me and offered to sell it for me for $35 or he was going to put it out with the garbage (destroy it).

I bought it from him just to save it --- but I'll never forget what a pricky thing that was to do.

Actually, he is not doing anything wrong and the price is reasonable. I think that the seller is just trying to make it perfectly clear that he is not going to play the "let's wait and see if he will lower the price" game that you guys know you love to play. If you want the board, then you will pay what it is worth, or it will be destroyed. Personally, I wish all feebay sellers were like this guy.
 
No, it is not DoomMaster, he lives in Beaverton, this seller lives in Hillsboro. You know, just because an Amiga person lives in Oregon does not mean that it is DoomMaster. The Portland Oregon area happens to be one of the Amiga capitals of the world. There are more Amiga owners here then you realize.  I am even concidering starting an Amiga Users Group here.

@Seller

You will sell me the card for $100.00

This is not negotiable.  You will sell me the card or I will destroy the $100.00 and then you will never ever get it.

You have 15 minutes to comply.
