68040 accelerator wanted

beltrixx · 25 May 2009, 12:21

Hi,

I need a 68040 accelerator for my desktop A1200. I'd pay a max of 90 Euros CIF Barcelona (Spain). If anyone is interested, please e-mail me at beltrixx@gmail.com

Thanks in advance.

No-one is going to sell one for 90 euros. Believe me, I've looked

€140-160 is about the norm.

Why don't you have a look at this eBay auction I lost in the last seconds last may 22... ????

The guy who won it got a 68040 accelerator for 78 Euros. Maybe 150 Euros is the usual price but I consider those usual prices are rather expensive and speculative ...

Greetings,

I have a broken one (no boot). You can have it for the cost of postage (I am in Australia). Maybe there is someone closer to you who can repair.

@overdose

m8y, i may well be able to repair that for you. PM me

beltrixx · 25 May 2009, 14:53

Overdose, I would be interested in it if there's a chance to repair it. What does it mean "no boot" ?

By the way, which would be the shipping cost to Barcelona, Spain?

Thanks.

the prize alexh is talking about (that is based in auctions and previous sale prizes) is what you must offer in order to get someone tempted to sell you his 040 accelerator.
You will NOT get a 040 board for your A1200 for 90 eur, unless it is non-working or you get it from a person that has no idea of how much to sell. Or maybe snipe some eBay auctions...
I am not trying to critisize you , sure you offer what you can/want to pay, but reality kicks in unfortunatelly.... for 90eur you can't even get a good 030 board...

alexh · 25 May 2009, 15:15

If you wait long enough you can sometimes bag a bargain. There have been two Apollo/Blizzard 040 sales under €90 in the last six months, compared with 20 over €140

keropi · 25 May 2009, 15:19

well yes, you need to snipe auctions , but those prizes even though they are low do not represent the current "normal" sale ones... 2 against 20...

cv643d · 25 May 2009, 15:21

There was an Apollo1240 just recently in Swedens eBay around 90 euro.

Sorry alexh you where wrong (and yes I know you got your 040 board for 50-60 euro).

Prove it, where is the link? Was it available only to Sweden? Was it advertised as working?

Hi, That was me.

I still can't believe I got it at that price.

I still have to receive it and test it but the description did say fully working.

DoogUK · 25 May 2009, 18:46

Nice result Amigil

beltrixx · 25 May 2009, 18:48

Congratulations ! for some seconds I thought it was mine, damn!

it was a bargain considering that people here says these are usually sold at 140-150 Eur, but in my opinion paying more than 100 Euros is a waste considering the product's age ...

Greetings,

beltrixx.

DoogUK · 25 May 2009, 18:50

That maybe your opinion, but you'll have to be realy lucky to snatch one at that price.

If it was a blizzard 1240 they go for even more than the apollo's.

keropi · 25 May 2009, 21:01

so what is this becoming, another thread of "we want cheap hardware because amiga is aged" ???? LOL dream on, if you wanna use your amiga in 2009 with "amiga-super-cpu's" prepare to pay the price or else stick with the stock config
sure GOOD DEALS are possible in everything including amiga hardware, but don't expect them to come all the time, and cetrainly do not moan if "prices are insane" , WE are all insane because we all still use amigas
