Petro: 500 units new Amiga 1200 Magic Pac

[Lord Aga]

One more here

Hope you are well today. As a new/sealed collector nothing annoys me more than used hardware being passed off as new,

It's tricky, I wouldn't sell it as new on ebay if I'd opened it and tested it. But that is an auction, if it's old and sealed then the buyer is taking that risk.
 
With the way that petro is selling them then he should be testing them, so I'd expect the box to be opened. You don't know what has happened to them in the warehouse they've been sitting in though.
 
If they turn up and look good and have the right keyboard then I don't see the problem. AFAIK they are the uglier amiga technologies badged ones though.
 
The price is better than I picked up a NOS magic pack for that had been sitting in a shop for a year after AT went under.
 

We have all had to replace drive belts on old computers, did they even do that?

3.5" drives don't have belts. The spindle is directly connected to the motor.

Hi,

I really didn't think that it would happen since Petro sold us out back in 92. This guy was in it only for the money. This was brought up in 2009, did any one hear anything else since then?

Probably not.

If Petro would have stood up and said this wasn't right back in 92/95 maybe the Amiga wouldn't be dead.

The only thing I have for Petro is the one finger salute.

Seriously dude you need to quit what you are smoking...:quickdraw:

Its very clear You have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. So you should refrain from speaking of things you know nothing about. As most Amiga "insiders" reading your comments make you look foolish.

If it wasnt for Petro there would be NO AMIGA NG, NO OS 3.5+ etc.   Petro has done more than most for the amiga platform.

Next time you go to slander people (which didnt the mods warn about on another thread?) do your research first instead of grabbing theories out of your you  know what.

Hi,

If you know so much about the events at that time, then name me one thing that Petro did that was good. I can't think of anything.

By the way magnetic "Did he ever show with those 500 Amiga's?"

All Petro was --- was another moocher mooching off the death of the Amiga.

Hmm Petro is an honorable guy. And to be honest, if it wasnt for him there would have never been os 3.5, 3.9, or 4.0 for that matter!

However, this whole thing seems "funny" to me.

If I remember right Billy M. did a lot to develop 3.5, 3.9 and 4.0, the only trouble was he ran into trouble with 4.0. I mean correct me if I am wrong, but Petro had made his money selling off old left over Amiga parts from Commodore, and helped Gateway collect any other trade secrets at that time. Petro worked hand in hand with Collas giving us a bunch of BS about a new Amiga that they developed but supposedly Gateway closed out. We all fell for that bunch of lies didn't we.

Anybody ever hear from Collas again.  I think not, but we did hear from Billy M. didn't we, but he turned out to be another disappointment too!!!

Petro helped develop OS 3.5, 3,9 and 4.0, come on, the only thing that vulture did was hang around to see what other bones he could pick off of Amiga Tech.

Hi again,

I wasn't the only one who thought Petro mooched on Amiga, this was taken off an interview during the time he was selling 3.5:

PTYSCH> We have sold so far around 5600 units...of our OS 3.5....unfortuneately the breakeven is to get profitable 25.000....please support us and buy the OS 3.5 so that we can invest in other projects...for the future..ga

Petro sucks... Amiga is dead due to bad "marketing"... I think I gonna get kicked now ) Tom Schmidt doesnt care about ANYTHING concerning the classic amiga... Bye dudes & dudettes...

That is because the only thing Petro ever marketed was the last remaining bones of Commodore.

Remember boys and girls I used to work for Commodore, and as a salesman I got a little more info.

To see how the Amiga was treated by everyone, was a downright sin!


I mean it wasn't all Petro's fault, he was just doing the things he was being told to do as a general manager. He had to eat too!! but I sure wished he would of stood up to some of those JA's

Could somebody post the content of his e-mail?

What you forgot to mention is that in this price shipping costs are included which for such a heavy package should be at least around 30-40€!

I will write this again if you don't like the deal step aside and let someone else who can appreciate it grab it.

There is also the alternative to buy "NOS" amigas from unknown ebay sellers who after almost 20 years remembered that they had them unopened in their cellars for TONS of money!

That would make some wise guys happy...

The badge is uglier. Commodore badge was much nicer.
