FS: Is there any interest in a NOS Amiga 500 NTSC? (PIX AND PRICE REDUCED)

[Florida]

It is not mine but someone from Melbourne, Florida. I looked at it last night. It is not completely white, you can tell that there is a slight difference from the bottom to the top and the warranty seal is not there. I looked at it under light and I doubt there evere were a warranty seal. Mine didn't have one either.
It is brand new. She wants to sell it. Comes with PSU, the Amiga, the pink plastic protectice bag and the the two pieces of styrofoam.
 
PM if anyone is interested. I took a bunch of pictures. This is indeed a brand new Amiga.
 
Asking $100. She is okay with local pick up.
$100 including shipping...

You know, I am sitting here looking at these pictures. This Amiga has no scratches at all. From the pictures it looks like it is old and dirty.
I'll try and take some other pictures.

Pretty sure I have a complete set of mint keys for an A500. Too bad she's asking $200. Where on earth did she get that price point from and are you selling this on consignment for her?  :laughing:

Where's the mouse, manuals and box? Any dirt or wear on the rubber standoffs underneath? They definitely look dirty according to what little we can see. What's the mouse cable, ball and its standoffs look like? Any dirt or lint on the rollers of the mouse? Judging from the power supply pic, cables do not look like they've been sitting "as new" all these years either. Any sign the trapdoor has been pried? True NOS A500 should have no 501 or equivalent. Have potentially seen better used examples honestly. If this was an answer to a CL ad, chances are extremely high that it's NOT really NOS. Either way, NOS doesn't mean jack if it's been stored improperly all these years. Such as somewhere in a Floridian garage, attic or shed.  

I might be interested, but not at that price.

In my opinion that isn't new old stock either.

That's used.

[magnetic]

That is a used amiga and far from "New Old Stock"

Also, EVERY amiga shipped with a warranty sticker for obvious reasons...

so not only is it not "NOS" but its USED and has been opened.

Does it have a memory expansion in the trapdoor? It doesn't appear to be sitting flat.

I would NOT recommend buying anything from this guy!! I bought the a500 SCSI side car from him and it didn't work. I sent him a message and he responded with "does the item smell of pee?". I didn't believe someone would be as sick or disturbed as to urinate on an item you bought from them while using his payment method of western union and the risks involved. But sure enough I pulled the ram and found what appeared to be urine on the contacts and pooled inside the sockets. Closer inspection I could see the dried urine all over the board. Again I can't think for the life of me why someone would urinate on an item someone bought and paid for or why you would destroy an Amiga part but this guy actually did. Beware of this very sick and twisted individual.

What, wait a minute.  I don't sell anything.  I was given this Amiga because it couldn't sell or whatever. BTW, it is not for sale anymore, as written above, it was given to me, and it is a keeper. "Ahhh", that fresh Amiga smell, no pee stains, fresh out of the plastic.  On a serious note, it was posted for a friend.
This has to be a total mistake.  I would never pee on anything Amiga related.
 
This has got to be a joke.  Do I know you?

I actually wouldn't mind an NTSC Amiga in the UK (for peanuts) even just a motherboard would do. I recently played Lotus II in WinUAE in PAL and NTSC and in NTSC it is even faster (and hence more challenging).

So if anyone has an NTSC mobo in the UK they want to sell for beer money give me shout

jamiga is that serious? If so thats serious effd up.

@ amiga nut i doubt anyone with a rare NTSC 500 in europe would give it away "for beer money"

Can't you just force it into NTSC via Degrader, or WHDLoad, or one of the other zillion tools which do this same thing?

And wow, that pee story, I'd have to see some of the original correspondence to believe that, but ugh!  :evil:
