I don't see anything indicating that the item isn't exactly what the seller states it is. There are actually quite a few NIB and mint/boxed 500's still out there, so it shouldn't be a huge shocker.

Good luck with your sale, deksar.

I only wonder, if he's got 2 of them, then why not photograph each on seperate pics instead of using the same pics (of one) for both on amibay and ebay.
The pics set is identical right down to the marks on the carton box..

I suppose the flaky mouse port must add value then!

Only if a no sale results in it's destruction. You know it's the best way to sell an Amiga.

Laziness?

Thorham, I'll make it 50USD for you incl. shipping.

No, you won't (even though that would be a much better price), and what I meant is that posting this here is pointless, because the people here know what an A500 is worth, and it's not 500$ New or not.

[deksar]

Well bros, of course you all are better, that's for NOS-collectors who'd like to have a brand new a500 in 2012, and that's all, no one was and is forced to buy it in that price and I'd also consider your price/trade offers by PM, as I've found one more of that.

So for instance, all those bidders here don't know what a USED A500 is worth? No original disks, no manuals.. and just 11$ cheaper than a NOS/unused one? After I paid the shipping cost, I got 369$ left from the other new A500 I sold via Amibay.

[Thorham]

If some people are willing to pay those prices, and what you're selling is the real deal, then good for you

[Duce]

Only worth what someone is willing to pay, so best of luck on your auction.

The market speaks with their wallets, after all.

Hey remember the guy that had a "new never used amiga 500" then later he discovered that he had a second one?

Apparently he found out that he has a third one!!!

Starting bid this time only 400 £!Well i guess Jay Miner had a secret storehouse full with new never used Amigas in Turkey!!!

[deksar]

I NEVER said "I discovered that I had found a second one". I said I have two of them to sell, now I'd like to sell one more there. Any problem?
You dislike the price, feel free to NOT bid. You offer a price, ready to accept it. You just... I really don't get all your angers here.
Paypal is smarter than you -in case- of any fraud, so, relax.

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

I'd be passingly curious at the story of these A500's, how they never got used. Did you buy them for a business? Were you a dealer? Find a few in an old warehouse somewhere? I'm sure they must have quite an interesting tale!

[deksar]

I bought them in 90's, from a friend of mine who was a dealer selling those computers, he had to leave for his military service, and didn't continue to his store.
Reason of the "high" prices is ONLY due to EXAGGERATED Postal costs, and nothing else.
