| Hi All,
I am thinking of selling my x5000/20 with 4Gb RAM, AMD 270 GPU and 120Gb SSD in an NZXT white case with tempered glass panel as I do not have enough time in the day to really enjoy it.
Where would be the best place to list this (besides the classifieds), I am happy to list it on eBay but I must admit I don't think I have ever seen a listing for an x5000, I am tempted to use Amibay but at the same time I have never used it and I am a bit apprehensive about selling it on there.
What have been your experiences and what would you recommend.
Many thanks, Taddy |

amibay is a great place, but, just make sure you're well-versed in the rules before posting. they're rather strict with moderation there. i'd also list on the classifieds here and amiga.org (if it ever returns), and post on amigans.net while you're at it. i don't imagine you'll get much traction on ebay, but ya never know.
it's a shame you're selling, though. sounds like a sweet setup.

Hi Eliyahu,
Many thanks for your suggestions, I think I will try on here and amigans.net first.
It is a shame to sell it however I feel it is just as much of a shame that it is not getting used and enjoyed as much as it should.
So if anyone is interested in a x5000 for a good price give me a shout!
Taddy. |

At the moment, Amibay is by far the most active Amiga related trading forum so i would suggest, take a good look at the rules and post an ad there. _________________ Vanilla A500 NOS A1200 (Powered by V1200, CoffinOS r.58) PowerMac beast, MorphOS 3.15 (registered) |

| Hi All,
Many thanks for the suggestions.
I have listed it with pictures on Amibay (http://www.amibay.com/showthread.php?100693-X5000-system) and had quite a bit of interest however nothing solid as of yet.
So before I list it on eBay and have to pay their outlandish figures I thought I might see if any of my fellow Amigaworld users would be interested now that it is listed.
I would be more than happy to consider any offers as I must admit I am not sure what the (used) going rate is - I would also be happy ship the components without the case and power supply.
Thanks, Taddy |

| Hi All,
Just to update this and due to requests, I am happy to sell just the MB, SSD, GPU and OS for £750. I would include postage to the UK but would need to get a quote for other locations.

Yeah. I´m tempted to place bid myself. Even with added shipping cost to the Czech Republic, it is really nice price. |

Then go for it! I paid almost the same price for my first Sam440ep nine years ago _________________ The Rear Window blog

I would completely avoid amibay. The control freaks that run it are insane. They want to control the used amiga market. Plus you have ZERO protection with fraud. Use ebay and paypal so you are protected. |

yes use ebay and start an auction with start prize of £900 because you can earn for sure more money and gave and have protection by frauds.

if you use Paypal on Amibay or other sites and no gift, you can get your money back.

| Thank you all for your suggestions.
I must admit I do find Amibay a bit of a mine field with all of the rules - I can’t help but feel it would put people off posting there!
If I don’t sell here of on Amibay I will list on eBay.
For the record I will only take PayPal and will only ship by a fully tracked and insured Courier.

I'd second that. You should be able to get more than what you've mentioned, and fraud protection makes it my choice as a marketplace.
That is a great price, btw. |
