Kiwis: Chance to buy rare AmigaOS 4.1 machines

I've decided to let go of my machines in NZ, because I'm out of the country for the foreseeable future, and they're sitting idle.

Both machines have been instrumental in the development of the Radeon HD and RX drivers, both 2D and 3D (yes, including Warp3D Nova). They were my development machines until I moved.

Here are direct links to the listings:
- Sam460ex
- AmigaOne X1000 - First Contact Edition

Sad but understandable. Have you stopped development?

I'm still working on stuff for A-EON, but my own projects have been side-lined for now. It's a little annoying to put them aside after I get my Raylib + Dear ImGui template up and running, but it's necessary. See here for more.

I still have an A1-X5000 & A1222. I'm only selling the machines that are too far away for me to use.

Perhaps you should add other target countries like Australia, Japan, South Korea, and Europe. Because of the taxes and tariffs introduced by Trump, selling goods to the US has become practically impossible; the taxes and tariffs are often higher than the goods themselves are worth, but the shipping costs for example from NZ to Europe (EU, Switzerland and Norway at least, no idea about the UK after the Brexit) should "only" be about 100 €/200 NZ$.

If it doesn't sell on TradeMe (unlikely), then I'll consider putting it on ebay so that people in other countries can buy.

I'm not so keen to ship internationally, because it increases the risk of damage. It would be the buyer's risk.

If you do ship, a tip, remove the video card and pack separate so you don’t get pci slot damage on that X1000.

Been there and did that.

Quote:Depends on the postal service you are using.
For example shipping costs from Germany to New Zealand via DHL are 96.99€ for up to 120x60x60 cm and up to 10 kg packages.
Standard delivery, 10-18 days. Express delivery very much more, about 20 times as much and more than twice the value of the X1000 itself
By default it's only insured up to 500€ (about 1000 NZ$), but for an additional 14€ you can get an extended insurance up to 1000€/~2000$ (for the X1000).
I guess shipping (and insurance) costs for the opposite way are similar.

@Hans

Its kinda tempting, but as I've just burned through $2.5k in a single week, I'll pass. I played around with the Amiga Auckland SAM a few years back, and it was a fun if limiting machine compared to the X5000. Interesting to see how they sell, I think Classic hardware gets snapped up pretty quick.
