Holy Moly - Craigslist Ad

It always astonishes me that someone could have a collection like that, and *not* be active or known in the forums.  I guess they must've really been some kind of recluse.

Naah.. only small minority of collectors are on this kind of forums. I know many collectors (some with pretty impressive collections) and "normal" users in my city too, but I'm the only one writing on forums.

Somebody over on one of the Amiga Facebook pages made the witty comment that with all the A2000's, maybe this is DoomMaster's collection?  :laughing:

If the guy was a collector, which I doubt from the state of the 2000s, I assume he didn't keep the good stuff in the lock-up and must have kept it for himself.

So what happened to the 1200s in the Magic Pack and the Desktop Dynamite pack. And if someone is talking to the guy can you direct him at least to try and find the A1000's keyboards and slot them under the machines before they get lost. That's if they are there.

It was a storage locker find.  I suggested to him he post on ebay and amibay to see if someone with the cash would pay for it (warned him of the battery corrosion issue).  Also suggested to him that he probably would have to break it up.  I wish I lived nearby, I'd love to go see it.

Why is everyone speculating on how he got this. Madgrizzle posted this on the first page.

And just how did it wind up in a storage locker to be found?  hrmmmmmmm  THAT'S the 64-million dollar question the answer for which we are trawling.  And producing worthwhile fiction while we're at it!

The plot thickens.....

[Vlabguy1]

Seriously, don't sell to the bot.

I agree..I really don’t ‘need’ any more Amiga machines..

LOL except it would be $8,000 for the lot since all the A2000's would be mil spec :rtfm::crazy:

Apparently the guy just bought stuff of eBay and stored it away.  There was plenty more items in unopened shipping packages that were not related to Amiga.  The (now) owner said it appeared to be almost an addiction.  Maybe he had a fondness for them and was compelled to spend money on them (he says as he looks in a mirror).

Could be like me grandmum... she's been buying shyt from QVC for the past 20 years and sticking it right upstairs.  To be fair, she does give a lot of nice gifts from them, as well, but, good Lord, to go upstairs is scary.  I doubt the foundation can hold the weight much longer.

I don't see the South Bend listing, says it closed.
Did he sell his whole lot?

Didn't he also list it on Amibay?

My .02 cents, either some nutjob came along and gave him an offer within his price range, or we'll start seeing a lot of these end up on fleabay soon.

[David Wright]

He took it down on Amibay, possibly by moderators admonition.
