Anyone know an admin for the Amiga New Zealand Facebook group?

I'm still trying to sell my A1-X1000. My preference is for the machine to stay in NZ.

Unfortunately, that's being made extra difficult. TradeMe cut me off after selling the Sam460 because I'm not in NZ.

I tried to post a message about the machine to the Amiga Facebook page. Alas, it's been waiting for admin approval for days. So, if you know someone who is an admin there, could you please ask him to approve it?

Or, if you're interested in buying the machine yourself, then please contact me here. Here's a link to the original listing.

No idea, sorry (I'm not on Facebook and Amiga Auckland has dissolved). If you have Garran's contact details you could try him.

@daveyw

I don't have Garran's contact details (no idea who he is).

Hans

is there no ebay in new zealand??

Ah, apologies, I thought you had some involvement in Amiga Auckland.

I have dropped him a line, as well as another former member (who, along with me, was about the only regular member left who actually used an Amiga!). Will PM you if I hear back.

@daveyw

Thanks.

Ebay exists in NZ, but TradeMe owns most of the market. Ebay gets a tiny fraction of the traffic that TradeMe gets (in NZ, not globally).

Listing on eBay may well be the next step.

Sooo. My post in the FB group is still in stuck in "needs admin approval," and it seems that there are very few kiwis on this forum.

Any Aussies in the house that want an X1000? I think that they can ship it across the ditch without breaking it.

My biggest concern with shipping internationally is the chance that it arrives broken. Yes, I know there's shipping insurance, but a broken X1000 is still a broken X1000, even if we've been financially compensated for the breakage.

No luck trying to find who owns the group. I will try Stephen Fellner.

@Hanz
Dunno is it me or not, but once i go over your link on trademe.co.nz, i have right at top : "This listing closed and did not sell".

@Hans

Sent you a pm

It is really exceptional for items to be damaged during shipping. My X5000 was delivered to me from France to Germany and there were no problems.

They are very clever, they pack the parcel carefully and also stick a note on it saying, for example, 'glass, fragile'. There is special packaging material available for this purpose.

If nothing helps, stick a warning label on the parcel saying 'Caution: explosion hazard' ( little joke )

Yes, that's correct. The original listing didn't sell. Then TradeMe decided to cut me off, and block me from relisting because I'm not physically in New Zealand right now. Zero consideration for my situation. Just rule idiots executing company policy.

That's pretty crap, especially as there are lots of dodgy overseas seller on TradeMe already. But I have found they tend to turn a blind eye to any large volume seller. Years ago I bought a sound card from an NZ based bulk seller. Of course, I needed a specific sound chip that was supported under OS4. When the card arrived, it did not have the advertised chip. I complained to TradeMe about the seller's false listing details, but they didn't give damn.

Good luck, hope you find a buyer.
