Addicted to eBay

manic23 · 09 April 2013, 14:45

I'm addicted to buying Amiga stuff on eBay at the moment, I just can't help myself, Amiga books, Amiga Mags, mouse mats etc, honestly at this rate I'll be broke, does anyone have a cure?

Yakumo9275 · 09 April 2013, 16:10

a cure? yeah the wife. when one of you is on the couch, its time to sell that stuff back on ebay

manic23 · 09 April 2013, 16:50

lol, OK, so I need to get married, Ok got it, thanks

demolition · 09 April 2013, 16:53

When you get married, the problem solves itself as you will not have any money left to spend on ebay.

Retroplay · 09 April 2013, 17:14

Hah that's not a problem as far as I'm concerned as I promised myself never to get married.

This danish phrase seems to fit in here nicely: "Gift er noget man tager for ikke at blive det".

To avoid confusion for peeps using Google translate.. Gift in danish means poison & married.

Get a smaller apartment. Campervan maybe. the space in those limit itself.

I have filled my home office. exchange some books that isn't computer with some that is at times but soon i run out of room there too. i used to have old cameras for display, now they are replaced by extras not currently connected :P

1time · 10 April 2013, 07:34

Im so happy to hear that im not alone. Atleast ones a day i search for amiga hardware.

The big issue is that i dont have a clue what i should do with all the things. My wife is not that impressed!3

manic23 · 10 April 2013, 08:43

I'm very happy to hear that I'm not the only afflicted Amiga user LOL, maybe I should start a support group n EAB?

Implement a FIFO mechanism where for everything you buy you must first sell something?

W...W....What? get rid of Amiga stuff!! I don't think I could, it would be like selling my soul

lordofchaos · 10 April 2013, 19:21

Ok don't shoot me for asking this guys, but I've always wanted to buy an Atari ST from ebay (my first 16-bit machine) but I'd like to load it up with games like the Amiga with the Compact Flash Card as a hard drive, is there an equivalent for the Atari? Otherwise It's just a case of locating lots of floppy disks...I can't afford this stuff of course and it's not practical at all, but that's why I'm here!

Of course google

well that showed me

Thanks for the link, I should have realised somebody would have done it by now.

diablothe2nd · 10 April 2013, 20:23

ask a silly question.....

on a serious note, pretty much anything that came out for amiga, had a similar product for atari (and vice versa) when it comes to hardware mods.

sneeker · 11 April 2013, 00:23

Amiga stuff Im fine with on ebay, my problem is ordering japanese super famicom and sega saturn games that will bankrupt me.

I buy more C64 stuff then amiga stuff on ebay, Im sort of happy with A1200 and an 030 in it, I just honestly cant afford an 060, or a FastATA which are the only 2 things I really want, so I dont even look anymore.
