I already contacted sordan several times because his prices mistakes. Instead of 22.5 Eur he has often 225 etc. He doesnt care much, but in his next listing the prices are mostly okay again.

Is that licensed OS on it? If so, its not a scam. Expensive but not a scam.
Let the buyer beware! |

This is normally used by ebay sellers when they have no current stock, when they get stock the prices are then reset to the correct selling price it saves having to re-list the items.
I am not connected in anyway with Sordan but I have bought from him in the past. |

? I dont get it. When i buy a Workbench from Versalia.de or AmigaKit it is licenced AND i know the money goes to the licence holders. So... ? I know he has "normal prices" as well, but he sells those Workbench/CF+Adapter combos on multiple Ebay´s and the prices are anything but normal. NOTHING can excuse such insane prices |

Just read post #2 and #4. I don't think it's a scam.

So, instead of "OUT OF STOCK" they use Insane prices to prevent people from buying ? Never heard that before. I hope he is no scammer but man, those prices still give me shivers. Greetings, Nibbler

He usually sells them, fully licensed, for 24 Euros on his website, here (I have no affiliation with the seller, but, have made multiple purchases there with no issues): https://sordan.ie/product/569/licens...miga-600-1200/ Last edited by obitus1990; 25 June 2018 at 21:26. |

It is not a scam, but in my opinion it is also not much clear way.

I bought some stuff from him in the past years, too. Definitely not a scammer.

I also Pointed this out to him and he said it was a typo. But Surely he Can't Continuously be Making typos Everytime? Not a Scam but slightly Careless in Advertising?

And, as an established and well-known seller of retro gear in Ireland and further afield, you can be sure that the Cloanto licence is as legitimate as buying from Vesalia and Amigakit. |

Same thing happens on Amazon as well due to the algorithms, you see stuff at insane prices.

I would personally rather buy an unlicensed ROM and/or disk set. Cloanto don't deserve a cent.

Bought stuff from Sordan quite a few times, definitely not a scammer. Can understand the confusion though....

Probably eBay doesn't have a friendly mechanism to solve this for sellers.
