Fleebay Bargain

Hi,

Hello everyone, joined the board this week but been using miggy`s since 1987

Just purchased a load of goodies off fleebay (guy lived less than 20 miles from my door) to add to my collection, figured you guys would be interested in a peek. Items are:

A2000 (Boxed!!!!!), keyboard, wb1.3, 8088XT bridgeboard and 5.25" drive. Single 3.5", 8-up! 8mb card (4 installed), large box of original commodore Janus, 8088 disks.
A1200, wb3.0, 1.2gb 2.5" ide.
Two A500`s boxed
Pile of Books and other cabling
Boxed Mercury monitor (scart,8pin din, cvbs etc)
Phillips 8833mk2 monitor
And a few other items..

£20 or he was going to literally skip it!!!! I`m quite chuffed that the A2k is boxed tho not the best condition packaging, the A2k itself seems pretty mint with barely any yellowing All fired up and running, might sell the A1200 on as i have a few of them spare.

If you guys want some Pr0n piccy`s let me know and i`ll dig the Canon out

Cheers,

Just remember to open the A2000 and take out that nasty ready-to-leak battery!

Before it's too late...

Hiya,

Yeah checked that when i noticed that the time and date was correct! Opened her up and it looks like a new one has recently been fitted... Wish they were all like this, had to seriously mop up some leakage on a previous A2000 that i had

@Zetr0 Erm the 8up is 20 DIP finding it far too hard to get them cheap enough so i`m thinking of just selling it with the 4mb already installed... Cannon has been armed and piccys have been taken i`ll submit some on here but you can see them all of them as i add them in the thread on Amibay )

cheers,

hi,

Here is are the piccys taken so far I`ll add more as i take them. The top a2000 is the one i got off fleebay, i can`t believe how mint it is, no yellowing and not a scratch on the front panel (Zetr0 this is probably the cleanest a2k i have had in ages)!! Some of the bits like the monitor etc are in the pics below, i`ll try and get the others done of the bundle asap... Got to take some shots of the A2000 box and numerous original 5.25" disks...

@Brataccas

AWESOME!!!!! 2 A2000's

that top one looks like the one I got from G-H on the AmiBay Recycle bin, alas I had to change the battery and replace the CPU as the acid had reacted with the Alloy of the pins.

Infact it was so bad the pins brushed away like paper, but as a good zetty I aways have a spare and CPU's are a passion of mine

You are my santa for sure even with that beard 8MB would be wonderful
PM me the postage costs my friend.
Of course I will recycle the current 4MB on Amibay's legendary Recycle Bin.

Speak Xmas day
Best Wishes
