£1250?!
 
I've never seen one get listed so highly on there! Crazy or what?! :insane:
 
I thought they went for between 35-100£

Actually the starting bid is £1,500...

...I... I have no words for how insane that is.
Be Positive towards the Amiga community!

What the...? It was less when I linked it here!

Never in this world will it sell...but stranger things have happened?!
 
Certainly does look very clean I must admit

When will Amiga's actually be worthy of that kind of premium?

Maybe he put an extra zero in his listing accidentally. The rest of his listings are priced normally.
A2500 owned since 1993 with A2630/DKB 2632, DKB Megachip, GVP EGS Spectrum, A2320 and GVP HC+8 on the inside and a DCTV on the outside. A4000D with CSPPC, Cybervision 64 and a Flicker Magic flicker fixer. A4000T Toaster Flyer & CSMKII. All systems completly retro and classic and mostly used to do geometic art as in my avatar.

Enjoying the free Amiga.org publicity, perhaps.

Perhaps a more sensible option, I might whack a bid in. Looks tidy enough and I need to build my Commodore collection!

Yes i bought a few things from airey (including a blizzard expansion board) and his prices are pretty fair.

The next ebay trader is I Houghton and generally his prices are over-priced and you can see some of the very same items from hong kong supplier for quarter or half of his price. His expansion boards are approx 40% over priced.

Last and definitely least is Penfold Mole. A profiteer if ever i saw one and an affront to amiga land :destroy:   Prices are often 60-80% over values for these items elsewhere.

As for this freddi-fixer charlatan who would ever purchase a £2000 A1200 from someone with such a name:roflmao:
