A tip: If you see an auction that's Germany only. Contact the seller, ask for permission to bid. If he accepts, then temporarily change your shipment Country to Germany, make you bid - and change back your country. That strategy should still work. |
That's a good tip. Thanks! I just look for auctions in germany that say "weltweit" _________________ Men who have girlies in their avatars are Girliemen! |

Don't forgot, people do have lives outside of 'Amigas' just because someone owns a rare A4000T with rares parts and doesn't use it, don't assume its because they don't want too, maybe they just don't have time. Also you seem to have completely ignored part of the text you quoted, there are sellers who PURPOSELY buy cheap amiga units and rare hardware/software and resell them at higher prices, they are hoarding parts for financial gain.
Those who do generally hoard don't normally plan too, but it takes effort and knowledge to sell items they don't need, again its easier to buy than it is to sell.
You say those wanting to come back to classics, well maybe they shouldn't of left If you wish to be critical.
Finally, hoarding is a now recognized medical condition, a subset of obsessive compulsive disorder, so please refrain from calling them lame....

You can also ask those who have chosen "germany only" - send them a message and ask for permission. You can't bid on an item than is "germany only" if you don't have a shipping address in Germany - and that's why you should temp. change you shipping address, if you get permission by the seller.

Those 4 who voted "Between £10000 and £16000", is it people who actually intend to bid in that range? |

| What's the real difference between this Commodore 4000T and the later Amiga Technologies 4000T's beside some of the front plastic parts?

| @all
I wanted to point your attention to this man :
http://www.majsta.com/
He is making FPGA card for Amiga 600 and the only reason he is creating it for A600 is that he can't get Amiga 1200 because Ebay is not really an option in Serbia and Republika Srpska and prices and availability of Amiga's here are terrible.
I had 3 Amiga 1200's going through my hands and I sold one that looked brand new for about 70 Eur and donated one.I kept 1 for myself and made it exactly the same as the one i owned in the good old days
I would send him that one but the problem is it is all hack'n'slash inside as I had to do a lot of soldering to make it work again. Moving it could cause it to stop posting.My logic is to keep it since I know how to punch it just right when it stops working
You may also find this interesting on the subject of SharkPPC card :
hen I was thinking why creating PPC accelerator if we have something like Sonnet G3/G4 accelerators and we have OS 4.1. So I searched for answers... I can't say name of the person I was talking to because I don't want to give anyone hard time.
My conversation with NN Wednesday, January 5, 2011 5:40 PM
Majsta: I would like to talk about Mediator from Elbox and the possibility of writing a driver for Sonnet G3/G4 accelerators that are prepared for the Mac. Because it seems to me that they are almost the same with Elbox's SharkPPC accelerators. So the problem could only be with drivers. Can you explane to me basic strategy of adding PPC libraries to OS 4.1 Classic because if there is support for SharkPPC what about support for Sonnet accelerators.
NN: I'm afraid I can not help you much because my contract prohibits the "disclosure" of information acquired through the mailing list I have mentioned. Moreover, even we do not know everything. If you need reliable information, I think it's best to write Hyperion (more precisely, Ben Hermans) and ask him what you want to know, he was the only one who can/should give you correct informations. Note that he is usually quite busy and it may take until he repliy.

Yes but I had to put it somewhere.
Thread seemed appropriate for this purpose.

Let's see the results ... 3000 pounds is the average number people are thinking about.

I don't sell my Amiga's and I don't buy them.Used to do some work fixing computer motherboards so once in a while I would get one for free.
I sold one 1200 and one 500 because I didn't know anyone who would use them.
The rest of maybe 20 (mostly A500 and A600) I gave away.
People that got them mostly use them to play SWOS
Besides Majsta wold benefit more from A1200 or A1200T. Last edited by blizz1220 on 13-Jun-2013 at 11:14 AM. Last edited by blizz1220 on 13-Jun-2013 at 11:04 AM. Last edited by blizz1220 on 13-Jun-2013 at 11:01 AM.

Biggest difference between Commodore And Escom Amigas is quality of the components used.
Amigas from Commodore used very high quality components and could last you 50 years easily.
Escom Amigas used cheaper components of poorer quality and will never live as long.Leaking caps are only one of the more obvious problems with them.

I think Majsta has good soldering skill so this is not a problem |

Its seems your theory about Ebay purchases for Serbia is dated. Ebay is available for Serbians and so is Paypal as from April 2013. I would have no issues then to send a A1200 to serbia, the parcel site I normally use will courier to serbia, only issue seems to be theft of postage, but surely something could be arranged _________________ Cross-developer on Windows, OS3, OS4, Linux; Current Projects:- Nephele Cloud App OS4 UserProfile System OS4 AmigaOneXE OS4.1.6

Paypal started working here only couple of months ago and even still customs officers will routinely charge provisionary custom rates on electronics components or hold them hostage at the customs office.
Igor is not in Serbia but in Republika Srpska (different country).
If I get the time to tidy up the mobo on this one to make it a little more fail-proof and I get myself a replacement I will send it to him.
I didn't ask anyone to send Amiga to Igor I simply wanted to put this info here for people to read about it.If Igor can make A600 boot with FPGA 68k softcore (which I sincerely doubted when I first read about this project) making Sonet G4/ 1 Ghz PCI cards working with Mediator should be an easy task for him.
I have no interest in AOS4 whatsoever but many people here were very keen about G4 Blizzard PPC replacement.Well this guy could make one for you.You would need to convince your leaders (aka Hyperion aka Ben Herman) to give blessing and technical info but it would be less complicated work then Igor has done so far with Vampyre600. |
