Hi, Merlin from Amibay here...

Hi all,

I am Merlin, one of the team that looks after Amibay, the new Amiga trading site that launched last Christmas to fill the void left when Amibench closed.

You can find us at www.amibay.com (or .net, .co.uk or .org, we aren't fussy :))

We have nearly 400 members and have now expanded the site to cover other retro formats.

We also have a Recycle Bin, where members can offer items for just the costs of shipping. This area is off-limits to traders, so that they don't benefit from cheap hardware or software to sell on at a profit.

So, if you want an Amiga site run by sceners for sceners, pop in and take a look, you might like what you see!

Cheers

Merlin

@Merlin

Alright m8 its Bobby AKA Paradox.

How you doing man?

Can you sort my accounts out at AmiBay as I have a few 1200 cases for sale.

Ive nealry done that tower project I started on AmiBay.

Also mate do you know Chris from Heald Green?

I think I have ******* my 3.1 Roms up, do you have any spare 1200 3.0 roms to test this mobo?

How is the A600M comming on?

Regards

EDITED: Swearing.

Thread cleaned up a bit, please stay on topic.

@orgin

OK sorry.

I was wondering if my account at Amibay could be reinstated.

Regards.

@P4r4d0x

No, it can't. And please don't try to sign up again under another name - you will be banned again as soon as we find out.

On a lighter note: I do have a spare set of A1200 3.0 ROMs. If you want them they are yours for ?5.

Hi @Merlin

I popped in and it was fascinating. Looking at A1200 stuff for my A1...

@Snuffy

Thanks, we have worked hard on the site and so far it's been well received. You can't see the Recycle Bin unless you are a member and one of the Mods or Admins grant access; this is how we keep traders away from offers of hardware that members should benefit from.

Amibay is not here to supply the auction sites with cheap stuff, we are here to offer an alternative for sceners who are sick of traders driving prices up on the auction sites.

@ p4r4d0x

Sorry mate, it would not be appropriate to discuss your membership on here, so I won't. Nice to hear your A1200 project's nearly done though. My A600+ project has stalled due to work commitments but it will get finished eventually. I haven't got any spare A1200 ROMs but meega seems to have that covered for you.

Cheers

@Merlin

Welcome to Amigans.net !

And thanks for filling the gap left by AmiBench.

@meega

Ok I will have them 3.0 Roms if you can drop them off at my house or meet us somewhere.

No can do, I'm nowhere near you. You can send the money to me in an envelope, and I'll send the ROMs out asap after receipt. If you want to do that then we can take it to PM.

Don't be like that.

*sigh*

We have sent someone a PM for breaking our ToS - in short - a cooling period

@Mikey_C

He really needs to calm down, hopefully once that's happened he will start to make a positive contribution to the site.

@Merlin & Mikey_C

Hello. While I don't disagree with your sentiment let's not discuss individual users in public in this manner.

@Merlin

Sorry about the fuss in this thread. Please feel free to post a new forum post or even news item about your site.

@orgin

Point taken and post edited appropriately.

It's OK, leave the thread as it is, at least you could say I made quite an entrance!!!

LOL

Merlin

PS. Please visit the site and let me know what you think.

@Merlin

Amibay is a good alternative to ebay. I have sold a couple of items there recently.

It is reassuring to sell to people who are identifiable as true amigans.

@Merlin

Seems to be some problems at the moment:

One of the site developers (Zetr0) was doing some minor editing work on the site.

Clear your cookies and try again, it should be working now.
