A quick polite question,my old stuff in the garage.

04 April 2010, 01:57

hi my first post hello everyone
I've had to clear out my mums loft and so my garage is now "full" (well a small corner is) of my old commodore64 and amiga 500 stuff from a lot of years ago, i've thrown a load of mags out already, before i throw the rest of the hardware/software/mags away i thought i might ask if anyones interested in any of it on here.

im not sure what kind of stuff you would be interested in so what level of detail would you be interested in?

i.e.
if a magazine the date,if a coverdisk the mag/date it was from?
i think the extra floppy disk drive for my a500 was a double
and i think the external harddisk i had had some ram in it etc

i'd like to think the stuff goes to someone that wants it before i take the lot to the rubbish dump.

shall i just catalog/photo some of it and post on here?

Hi a500-uk, and welcome to EAB!

You've come to the right place if you want to sell your Amiga gear.

Whatever you do, please don't throw any of that stuff away until you have given EAB members a chance to buy it from you.

Have a look at some recent threads in the Marketplace forum, which you will see listed if you click on the EAB logo in the top left corner of any page and scroll down until you see the link, then click on it for a list of recent threads and have a good browse.

That will show you what degree of detail is required to let everyone know what you have to sell.

If in doubt, just post a general list and invite questions or bids if anyone is interested in any item, and take it from there.

Pictures might be helpful in showing the condition of some items.

God luck, and thanks for thinking of us at EAB!

@a500-uk

You know, if you hang around long enough, you might end up not wanting to sell your miggies -

Take some time to look around at what these wonderfull *crazy* people have been up to with thier amiga stuff =)

theres a great bunch of helpfull peeps here, so sit back, releax and enjoy the retro-coated yummyness that is EAB =)

Now, should you want to trade, buy or sell, then look at www.AmiBay.com as well, its not an auction site, its a sale site, so you need to have a price in-mind for your kit if you are selling.

however I have a thought that if you take some time and read up on WHDLoad and KGWHD (have a forum search) you will probably want to keep your miggy kit =)

welcome to EAB =)

clueless · 04 April 2010, 09:14

Get it listed and invite offers, or pick a price if you want to list it on Amibay - but that could be hard if you dont really know what you want for it. If you dont want the hassle of posting it out, I and a few others live localish to you, it could always be picked up and I'd (or someone else) post it on to the buyers.

Paul_s · 04 April 2010, 11:16

one man's junk is another's gold. Waiting for a list!

Smiley · 04 April 2010, 14:04

Take some photos and let us estimate some prices. Don't sell it to some cheeky bugger who only offers a fiver for the lot.

Get a fair price if you decide to sell!

seuden · 04 April 2010, 16:19

I'll have it all for a fiver :P

Srsly, get some photos and lists and you could be in for a little earner, you never know.

04 April 2010, 19:34

wow thanks for the warm response guys

and great advice i'll have a quick look now and start to sort out some sort on inventory, its just standard stuff so i doubt theres much of interest in there, but as mentioned "one man's junk is another's gold"

04 April 2010, 20:17

bag of mags that survived being skipped last summer.

1. cu Amiga magazine November 1995
2. Amiga power issue zero , was free with may amiga format 1991
3. Amiga Action issue 43 April 1993
4. ACE issue 26 november 1989, multi system but has amiga stuff in it aswell
5. Amiga Format issue 24 july 1991
6. cu Amiga june 1991
7. Amiga shopper issue 1 may 1991
8. cu Amiga supplement june 1991
9. little book exploring REAL 3D from Amiga Format november 1995

looking through some of these bring back memories

i'll sort out a photo later if you'd like one showing the covers. cover disks are probably in the software box with some originals and some "backups"

Paul_s · 04 April 2010, 22:29

What kind of condition is the Amiga Power Issue Zero in? If it's very good to near mint I'll take it

ta.

04 April 2010, 22:55

just had a look and all the pages (32 of them) are intact, no rips, no stains, no crumples

i'll post the picture of them all its on lower left, more of supplement than full mag it lists/reviews amiga 100 top games and is an eye opener that there
were so many great games, i forgot about warhead.

Amiga1992 · 04 April 2010, 23:24

That's a nice collection.
It makes me a bit sad I sold all my Amiga mags ;_;

Retro1234 · 04 April 2010, 23:57

Whats that -Brothers are history? is that Giana original?

T_hairy_bootson · 05 April 2010, 01:55

Well spotted boo-boo. If this is correct a-500uk might have hit a pot of gold there.

Smiley · 05 April 2010, 13:35

If that is an original copy of Giana Sisters..........

Looks like it is as well.

cosmicfrog · 05 April 2010, 13:56

if you got a harddrive for an A500 am interested

seems youve got some ppl salivating over Giana sisters

fitzsteve · 05 April 2010, 14:05

Looks like you've got some interesting & rare bits there, would have been sad if that lot got thrown out

Good luck!

Steve.

Yep id also be interested in the a500 hardrive, not to fussed about giana sisters never understood why everyone loved it so much

05 April 2010, 14:30

hi im away for a a couple of days now and i've shoved the software box back in the garage cant remember much about giana sisters though i was into kickoff2

dunno if i still have it though awesome game broke some joysticks with making the ball swerve i remember moonwalker i "won" that in an amiga format competition (or maybe i lost it)

, i'll get the software box out again wednesday and i'll hunt out the hardware/hard drive etc, i think it was a 20MB commodore A590 with 2MB? of RAM on board i remember buying it way back as it had a scsci connector on it an i had a crazy idea of hooking up an external scsi CDrom that a somehow got hold off, cant remember if i got the CDROM working or not though lol.

05 April 2010, 17:13

Hi and thanks again for thinking of us.

I'm local (North Leeds) and if you were to make a list/take a pic of the rest when you're back then I may well be interested in popping round.
