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 :)

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:

I got a message last night explaining what went down. So, this is what happened:
User 'jamiga64' bought this GVP A530 with the PC CPU card installed and 4MB of RAM. Seller was asking $250 for it. (that may be a tad high, but none of my business) 'jamiga64' was whining through out the sale and even being a bully saying that seller would get kicked of the board (AmiBay) (I saw the E-Mail 'jamiga64' send, so no lying)
Then 'jamiga64' started crying about that there were no cover for the damm thing so that was added to the pot, a brand new cover. Then the price went down, down, down. Ended up with 30 some dollars plus shipping. 'jamiga64' still owes $13 that he hasn't paid.
 
I can only imagine what has been said on Amibay. I am not going to check, it doesn't matter.
 
'jamiga64' then wrote last night on Amiga.org - warning, warning, Florida can't be trusted. Yeah, what's my name?...'jamiga64', grow up.
 
Any more crap from you ('jamiga64') I'll swing by St. Louis and give you a refund on someone's else behalf. Oops, yeah, that's right, I have your address.
 
Ban me, do whatever. I am not going to accept someone attacking me like this. That's is the last I am going to respond to this.
 
On a lighter note. I cracked it open, it has a rev. 6A motherboard. Not bad.

Are you referring to the following item on Amibay?

GVP Impact Series II A500-HD+ w/4MB RAM and 80286PC upgrade module installed.

Just curious :kitty:

I'm totally serious. This guy goes by CentralFlordia on Amibay. He has the same exact items listed there as here. His "message" he received is a total lie. The price was listed as $50 plus shipped and that's what I paid. Sorry no "whining" here buddy. I've bought and sold hundreds if Amiga and other vintage computer items and NEVER been this shocked or disgusted. I've got all the original emails I would happily show to anyone. The only reason I'm posting this story is because I was beyond disgusted on so many levels, I hate being ripped off, and hoped to stop this person from doing this again. Take what you want from it but I have no reason to make this up.

Oh and I don't need a refund not asking for one and never have. But you can swing on by anytime buddy. Although I don't think you'll be happy with that outcome.

Photos of emails. I finished reading his post just now. Not sure I would need these as he just admitted he had my address. There are some serious issues with this individual.

Florida,

If it doesn't sell, in the next couple of weeks, let me know. I may pick it up off you. I could use a 6A mobo.

"CentralFL" (on amibay) claims to be a chick, and is just friends with "Florida" (on here)... (is there a "CentralFlorida" too? edit, there is, but that account is now inactive on amibay?)

Apparently they aren't the same person... I wouldn't do business with either of them though... lol

Odd too that the "mayraevygrant@yahoo.com" address links to this fairly disposable looking Facebook account for Jack Smith:

If there really is to be urine on anything, I'd hope it was pet pee. As in, someone's pet accidentally pee'd on something. People are strange enough as it is.   ;)

Well, that's real brave, hide behind a user account you haven't used in 5 years to post links to someone's facebook :insane:
