ITS THE SPIRIT OF THE AMIGA HOARDER

+1 The intent to escalate the prices of old hardware is obscenely obvious (but then you guys gloat about this too).

One day FPGAs are going to bite you in the ass with this one.

Nobody is talking about anyone using another name or "identification" what are you talking about? I'm talking about the nazi like tactics and privacy invasion that is POLICY and DAILY ROUTINE for the people that run this silly site.

If you can't understand the flow of a thread beyond your own posts I'm not going to explain it for you, or explain myself. Putting it simply, my response to your post was in relation to the "boys club" comment only.  I'm guess you block people which results in the non contextual experience in a thread, the alternative that springs to mind is possible as well I guess, either way your problem not mine.  
But separately, Nazi has connotations beyond your ego magnetic, the link is tenuous at least if not consistent with your comprehension.  

I see desiv's sarcasm and raise you a straight.

The value of something is in it's demand. It's not based on purchasers opinion.

Good to see you on AmiBay, glad we have sorted out that account issue and I am pleased to see my first post going to help out a fellow member =)


@thread

I have to admit,its the first I have read that my efforts are anti-Amigan, although I am sure my wife had called me worse


Oh well I shall rest my modest efforts on those thousands of AmiBayers that use, enjoy and make AmiBay what it is.  I know the rules and guidelines are perhaps too much for some, but remember these rules are made by all the staff - whom are also members - there is over 20 staff members helping to develop AmiBay for the better of its users, we then have another process that see the sites 20 odd VIP's rattify these rules and guidelines as well.

While we are predominately a classifieds trading site - a truly amazing community has grown from, I am quite humbled to be a small part of it.

desiv you misunderstood me, I am not saying that you can't bann people. I am saying, that there are some rules that protect consumers, and amibay does not seem to follow them.

If you like internet freedom, or if you like ideas of freedom in general stay the hell away from the power obsessed, boys club of mods on Amibay. Be prepared for them to internet stalk you, invade your privacy, and attempt to dictate what you do, who you do it with and when and where.

Like good ole times in Berlin.

And no,i'm not being funny this is how they are. VERY ANTI AMIGA. It has the FRONT of being real amiga but its mainly a bunch of HOARDERS trading hw with eachother.

Amibay wasn't established to promote internet freedom. New members agree to follow a set of rules which limit internet freedom in order to support the Amibay community of traders, hackers and knowledge seekers.

If you were banned for breaking those rules then you should blame the person most responsible... yourself!

I just tried to sign up for amibay.com

I completed the first form and received an registration email, clicked the link in the mail and then completed the second form to which I received the message:

Registration denied, this forum runs an active policy of not allowing  spammers.  Please contact us via the "Contact Us" page link if you  believe this is in error

So I click "Contact us" and get told:

You must first accept the Forum Rules to be able to send e-mails!

What a complete joke of a site!

If it takes more than a couple of clicks and a  registration form to join a forum it's not worth joining.  I'll stick to selling on ebay!

@Zetro
Yep! All good. I learning my way around the site. Gain knowledge.

One item, what does it mean "paypay gift or pay fee"
I thought amibay didn't have fees?

At this time I don't plan on selling so I have to figure out how to buy.

One item, what does it mean "paypay gift or pay fee"

Paypal charges fees to receive money.

When buying something outside of ebay most sellers request that the buyer pays the fee by selecting the "Gift" option on the paypal "send payment" page.

Yeah, as mentioned, it's Paypal fees, not Amibay fees...

Just my preference (there are several large threads on Amibay about this), I always prefer to not use paypal gift and pay the fees.
Yes, you can save a few bucks (usually it is just a few bucks), but you lose any/all paypal backing if you use paypal gift.

Worth it to me to do that....

My personal recommendation, don't ever use paypal gift to purchase something from someone you don't actually know.  No matter how safe the site feels.

Have fun...

I got burned like that, damn scammer.

Without Amibay I wouldn't have been able to purchase most of the Amiga gear I have. I also found out about hardware projects that only seem to be advertised there.

The mods are also very fair and helpful, so very puzzled by the negative remarks.

To be honest one get's tired of the same old waste of time argumentative school yard threads as soon as the word Amibay is mentioned.

None of which helps the Op with their issue.

I'm sure the email is being sent, most likely it's in a spam folder or something, if not one of the mod's there usually help out.

Of course as with anything Amiga it's a hobby site so to expect an answer straight away is not the way to go.

They answer you :-)

[Retro_71]

I have been a member there for a while and have had no issues at all with them, in fact if it wasn't for amibay i would have alot of my gear. All the sellers i have used where great and very helpful. and as for the problem of joining it wasn't that hard a few extra clicks is worth it.

Like it has been said before the people that mostly got banned were reselling the items they got very cheap elsewhere for much higher prices so they deserved what they got. Funny that said people keep trying to get back in.... wonder why??

[magnetic]

If you were banned for breaking those rules then you should blame the person most responsible... yourself!

I was banned for reselling an 030 cpu card so I could get the 060 i have now. I sold the card to someone else, who posted it on ebay. The mods at Amibay internet stalked both me and my friend in their "investigation" (that still makes me laugh) and I got banned FOREVER. First offense, never had a problem before, a few sucessful trades under my belt with feedback (which i still have the items)  
(And I wont even address how pissed off my friend was with the invasion of privacy and these idiot mods netstalking her)

So you are telling me that this is just and makes sense? And to another amiga community member? You are DELUDED.

Oh and almost forgot I GOT BANNED FROM EAB FOR POSTING MAYBE 2 POSTS ANTI AMIBAY so ONCE AGAIN BANNED FOR LIFE FIRST OFFENSE.  So this goes to show you how ridiculous and power hungry these idiots are.

ILL STATE IT AGAIN VERY ANTI AMIGA SPIRIT

Just a bunch of HOARDERS trading with eachother.
