OK keep the vintage label, and yes, you can fool some one for double price, but for x50 value or so ...

That doesn't sound like any kind of champ at all.

I suspect that listing may just be there to draw attention to his other items for sale.

Let me clear this up. As a top rated eBay seller myself I know the importance of not letting a listing end. Its madness but the more sold on a listing the higher up the search result on eBay the listing becomes. Plus any links to the page and search engines become established and if there is a stock control system linked to eBay (as is mine), then keeping the listing going is important.

So the reason Ian would have put the price up to 1000 pounds is to reserve the listing/item number until he has stock again - if not ending and re-listing puts him in a bad position. If you look at the purchase history, you will see the ROMs are sold at £15.99 and they will be no doubt when he has stock again. If he was to keep the price at £15.99 with no stock, people would buy the product and he would get bad ratings/feedback for slow despatch.

No craziness here folks, sorry to ruin the witch hunt.

So its modern marketing strategy? And then you just change the price or re list the item with different one? Good to know. I am not an ebay user.

Maybe the person wants to cash-in before this project makes the prices go down ;)

@JurassicC

Somehow I missed the release of Flink and had assumed that it got canned until I read about it a few years ago. I do have a copy of Global Chaos around somewhere, I think I paid about £10 for it.

@JurassicC

And then people say NG Amigas are expensive.

1000GBP for Amiga CDTV game ...

This "reserve item" thing seems to make more and more sense.
Or those vintage collectors really highly value nostalgia, and wont easily give it up

I bought one of his hxc floppy emulators it is a great little gizmo.

That A1200 flash board looks cool. Wonder if it limited to 1MB ROM images or it can somehow work around that.

I see your point. In that case I'm putting my X1000 up for sale for 100,000 GBP. It has a jet black case. Cool blue lights on the inside. And is the fastest AmigaOS machine ever built. On top of that it's the rare beta build. And has dual blu ray burners!

Anyone interested?

Don't forget that PA Semi cpu inside was going to be Apple's G6. Sell that to a Mac fan!

@A1200

What's the problem in listing again when stock is refueled?. It's just silly to put it at that price, and is false advertising, as you are stating that they will be sold at 15 pounds.
