Something for A500 freaks : PC keyboard adapter !!!

Effy · 31 July 2005, 22:25

I am selling something that I almost never see on Ebay and certainly not in an Amiga shop : a real Micronik Amiga 500 PC keyboard adapter !! I have placed the thing on Australian Ebay at THIS link at a starting price of one Aussie Dollar. I do have to be grateful to my beloved girlfriend for posing for me, a moment that has given me much joy

Your girlfriend is a small red 'X'?

What sort of KB connector does it have on the PC side? 5-pin AT or 6-pin ps/2?
Why does postage cost so much?
And why on Aussie Ebay?

Effy · 01 August 2005, 09:46

The PC keyboard connector is of the Din type, so AT. But you can find ps2 to AT adapters in any pc shop and drivers for a multimedia keyboard on Aminet ...
About putting my auction on Aussie Ebay, what´s wrong with Australia ??? A great country, in my top list of countries to visit if I had enough money

Adeptus · 01 August 2005, 11:21

Nothing wrong with Australia, I quite like living here myself... just seems an odd place to list your auction

Effy · 01 August 2005, 11:28

Actually I also wanted to list something on the Chinese Ebay but I haven´t got the slightest clue about the language ... but Australia felt like a nice place to create an auction

keropi · 01 August 2005, 13:21

as always I like the background... it gets better as time passes

Effy · 01 August 2005, 14:58

quote "it gets better as time passes" ... thanks Keropi, most girls tend to look worse as time passes

Happy to find out mine just gets better like red quality wine

keropi · 01 August 2005, 14:59

yep, and the backgrounds get hotter.... lol

killergorilla · 02 August 2005, 04:03

EDIT: Sorry. Not the best thing to post!

It doesn't offend me, I just wouldn't let my gf do it

I can't actually believe EBay cancelled the auction though... that's stupid. (I didn't ask em to remove it!

)

keropi · 02 August 2005, 07:43

KG this has nothing to do with "standards"
Everyone has a different point of view, and frankly showing some skin is not that terrible, but ofcourse it depends on the person... many find many things offensive and many hardly notice those things...
and having MUCH respect for you KG and what u contribute to the scene, frankly, u should not have made that post... how do u think effy will feel? and if he was opposed to it, then his gf would never pose for the auctions...

everyone is complaining about the backgrounds, the gf breast etc... WHY? you are offended by human skin? human nipples? I really don't get you people...

Effy · 02 August 2005, 11:14

Thanks for the support Keropi. The thing is not that I want to offend people. I see so much blood on CNN, so many body parts on the streets, that I can´t imagine that people get offended by this picture with my girlfriend on the background while that doesn´t even display a sexual action ....
But appearantly some people think this is more offending than what terrorists show on video´s ....
By the way, Ebay had the auction cancelled ...

Effy · 02 August 2005, 11:32

Just created a new auction without pictures that might offend some people ...

Adeptus · 03 August 2005, 07:52

What, Aussie ebay not good enough for you this time!

keropi · 03 August 2005, 08:37

np Effy, I just don't mind skin on the background... and when it is from a nice girl, I really don't mind

but that does not mean that everyone is OK with it...

mr_0rga5m · 03 August 2005, 11:33

Quite a few daring ppl display their wares on eBay in this fashion .. i personally like it .. but then i'm a bit o a perv.

*clicky*

Effy · 03 August 2005, 15:31

Adeptus : because you like your own country (it´s actually a whole continent) I have created my next auction at the problably lowest starting price ever, 0,10 AUD

Adeptus · 04 August 2005, 08:13

Not the lowest, I've seen some stuff listed at 0.01

(if it finished that low I'd be surprised)

Yea .. Its called 'Penny listing day' .. an occasional eBay promotional thing.

Effy · 04 August 2005, 10:08

Thanks guys, I have just modified my auction starting price to 0.01 AUD

Didn´t know you could go that low

Effy · 09 August 2005, 11:32

Auction for the A500 pc keyboard adapter has ended at 15,50 USD. Isn´t much but I did have fun taking the pictures and that counts for it too I think
