Well said...today he posted on his account on Facebook about a guy who after he bought an Amiga from him he then went on selling it on Evilbay for a profit of over 60 euros!!!

He was obviously very sad about it and i can understand him completely because he puts a lot of work in finding and then giving these amigas to the people and he does it only out of his great love to Amiga.

People should respect this...
yeah that's pretty poor form! :(
 
That guy on eBay Germany does sell quite a lot of collectable stuff, if you look at his feedback. It's not all retro computer related.
 
Well, that's what we term 'scalping' on here and we take a very dim view of it...:ninja:
 
He tried to sell it on an german forum before, but nobody was interested (and ****ed like here). :)
 
Kick!

I got in contact with Petro and requested an A1200. A bit more than a week ago I received an email from Petro with payment details and with some more contact, my brand new '95 Amiga 1200 will be shipping tomorrow :D :thumbsup:

Only one minor, it seems there are missing some software titles and manuals.. Well, that's not the reason why I wanted one so that'll be just fine ;)

I would like to inform you that the shipment was not in the condition I expected this.

Unfortunately the Amiga Software box is complete missing with following diskettes:
• Digita Worworth
• Digita Organizer
• Personal Paint
• Turbo Calc
• Whizz
• Digita Printmanager
• Digita Datastore
• Photogenics
• Pinball Mania
I am also missing the Amiga Instruction Manuals in the Magic box.

All other items, the A 1200, the workbench 3.1, Power Supply, Amiga Mouse, TV Cable, are complete and in good condition.

The A1200 is really not used and very nice and packed in a plastic bag and is working.

The Amiga Magic box (outer carton) are sometimes due to the transport and warehouse storage not in a brand new condition.

As you may know I received those units from India were those Amiga A1200 Magic were stored since 1995..

He was asking me if I want a refund because of this or just continue with the order. Of course I told him it'll be fine. I don't care that much about missing software or manuals..

Some pictures he sent me:

Everything is in perfect condition excepting the inside cardboard that keeps the amiga stable in the box (look on the right of the second picture).
Congratulations for your purchase! :)

As you can see from the sign on the box and on the amiga, i bought it directly from Petro Tyschtschenko, ex president of Amiga Technologies.
WHiZZi also bought his A1200 from him.
Mine is from the first batch that he sold during the month of november (but he took the orders on October), WHiZZi's one is from the second lot.
Maybe it'll be a third lot, who knows, you can contact Petro on facebook and ask directly to him. :)
 
I received almost the same eMail as WHiZZi this week.
Petro refund me because I was only interested in that package to store it in my collection (for that, I wanted a full package with software and books). I already own A1200 in very good white condition that I paid the half of the Petro's nos magic pack...

But for someone who really want a new, this is probably one of the last chance to get one!!
 
The first lot was complete of everything, it is strange that the magic pack is missing in the second one.
Maybe it is missing only in some amigas...
Anyway, you can buy the magic pack software from amiga kit. ;)
 
yes, but it is again maybe 25 € more (with the post).
AND, the box I saw on the pictures he sent me are not so nice... (I understand that it was stored somewhere since 1995 but...). But when I see the pictures of your and other people, the boxes condition were really better.
I've the impression that I was one of the last to order one and that's also the last Amiga he has, probably the one that have the poorest condition he is trying to sale at last. (here, I only speak about box and accessory)

Why should I pay the same price to receive a lower quality with missing parts when other people received a clean complete pack. I was probably to late to order mine...

anyway, as it was for collectible purpose, it was not good enough for me. I would have been fully satisfied with one of the first batch like yours or one good from the second batch, definitively not with the one I saw on the last Petro's pictures.
It's a pity for me, I was already happy to receive mine :-(
