From now on, I will be known as "Lucky *******"!

I recently heard of a retired fellow selling off his old Amiga gear. After a quick chat I found out he had an a4k, which he sold to me at a fair price.

Upon picking up the A4k, he showed me a big box of "junk" and asked me if I could make use of it, or should he throw it away.

The box of "junk" was given to me free... and it was difficult to keep a straight face as I left his premises...

...the "junk" inside the box consisted of .... A Cyberstorm Mk III card, a Picasso II card, a GVP Combo 030 card with two 4mb gvp ram modules, a squirrel Pcmcia adapter, a 2091 card, a Buddha IDE card (not flash), heaps of ide and scsi cables, a couple of scsi cdroms, a couple of small scsi hds, some kickstart roms (mainly 1.3 and 2.04) and assorted floppy disks.

I estimate the "junk" to be worth three times as much as the a4k...

So far I have only tested the Cyberstorm, GVP and Picasso II - all appear to work perfectly.

I suppose I have now used up all my luck and will now be hit by a bus. :)

Lucky you! You get my envy.

Impressive! :thumbsup:
I'm also waiting for a same "retired fellow". :(

This is how karma repays you for your kindness! Congratulations on the awesome haul. :)

another hard day at the office then :)
glad you found your rtg gfx card

I really hope to find such a box too on a flea market or something :D

In Australia ? :D
You have more chance being struck by lightning there than being hit by a bus :ROTFLOL2:

But seriously I have had my luck smiling too, won about 300 euro's in the lottery, which isn't bad, but the amount laid in was 150.
I would rather have won that 27,5 million :D

That's a pretty awesome haul! I've had a few niceties over the last couple of years, the neatest probably being the GVP A530, but never anything quite as awesome as that! Have fun with it. :-)

Nice one kiddo. :thumbsup:

You lucky dog! I should move to Kangaroo land!

Nobody in bankrupt USA would give this kind of "junk" away for free. It would sold piece by piece for maximum profit on other-bay!

Enjoy your good fortune!!

@ Abbraxious

After all of your recent bad luck, it appears that Karma has smiled on you for a change; does this mean that recent events have cheered you up and bit and that the axe has been put back in the shed?

:lol:
