They're doing it AGAIN!!!
« on: March 15, 2004, 12:49:03 AM »
This one must have one of those solid gold floppy drives in it.....

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2794525089&category=4598

And the part that REALLY gets under my skin is this line:
New (NOS) Amiga Magic A1200 computer and more! This is a new Amiga 1200 computer with a 260 MB hard drive (you really don't need more on an Amiga!)and containing the following programs:

REALLY? Is a 260 MB harddrive REALLY all I need? Because I have more than that, just in my FONTS folder. What am I doing wrong??

And look at that C=1950 monitor he has for sale at 399$...just because it is signed by Dave Haynie and looks like it's been thrown down the stairs.
I bet Haynie would kill the guy if he saw that ad after what Ryan/Merlancia did to him :lol:

399$ A bargain! run!

Read here, scroll down and look for Merlancia.

Merlancia <=> Ryan Czerwinsky <=> krystynascreations on ebay

You might also want to look here for some more real facts on Merlancia.

But what Haynie is thinking I can't know...just thought that it would have irritated me if I was in the same situation.

You know this is so like Merlancia. They love to rip people off. I love this part. "This computer will work with any monitor, even a TV screen!" What a total lie! Sure the adapter it comes with may support VGA only modes, but they are not worth it and not usefull at all if you can even get them working.

If you think that you can get this cheaper elsewhere, take another guess. The other Amiga 1200 Magic Packs are for PAL Systems only! This is NOT a PAL System!


Just got off the phone with another dealer about this above quote.  You can get this for much cheaper anywhere else, most dealers will be happy to solder a jumper forcing NTSC display for a few bucks.  It's this kind of tactic that makes me sick.  I'm sure a good majority of the community know about Ryan and his mother by now.

Heh.  Y'know what would be a pip?  Create a fake auction - you know it'd get yanked in a matter of hours (minutes?) with what's essentially a copy of Merlancia's/"Kristina's" layout, and offer up Ryan's dignity and self respect. :) :) :)

And make sure it gets web-cached, to boot! :)

WOW, U assume that he has either dignaty or respect in the first place!

I'd do it, but I *MAY* have too many ebay usernames already!!

Anybody else want to give it a shot, sounds like fun!!

Oh MY! I had no idea that Ryan was that blooded. Holy sh!t! I hope they grind him for everything he's worth. It's people like him that made the amiga community look bad.

A damn shame they did Dave that way.  :-(

I thought the later Amiga Tech. models did include a RF modulator, or at least color composite output?  That covers the TV bit, the utility of the VGA adapter is up for debate.
