There is currently a Blizzard 1230 MKIV for sale on ebay here.

It still has 4 days to go on the auction but already 11 bids have been made and the price is up to £155. Is there something I don't know? I wonder what the final price is going to end up at?

So much for the credit crunch. Then if you look here no one has made a bid for a Blizzard 1260. Mind you that's because the guy selling it has given it a crap title that no one knows what it is. A few do now though.

This Blizzard 1230 MKIV is continuing to shoot up. It is now up to £180 with 12 bids and still just under 4 days to go.

Are we missing something these bidders know?

I've just looked at the auction and he doesn't even know if it works or what size RAM comes with it. People are mad. I think the people who are bidding on it are going to end up doing a banker when the auction ends due to the price. (Doing a banker is my slang for throwing yourself off a great height which is what a lot of bankers have been doing recently.)

That's off it's head.
I have kept hold of one just in case.
I can guarantee it works and have a 128meg simm with it.

Should auction if off for that type of cash.

The final score for the two auctions.

Blizzard 1230IV unknown if working and how much RAM £180.00
Blizzard 1260 working with 32MB RAM £165.00

That shows what can be done if you list something properly and also that there are still bargains out there.

It shows the final prices on ebay are still quite random and hard to predict. It's also quite illogical how much some people will pay for an item. The 1230 for example normally sells for around £110-130. However I've seen some where no one wanted to bid and it sold for £75.

Getting the listing right is important, but going by the lack of information in that 1230 auction it shows it isn't completely needed. Also the random bidding shows you have to be lucky and hope that the right people willing to pay more are currently looking.

that Blizzy 1230 bidding comes down to two or more people wanting it and not having the ability to say NO! enoughs enough... morons...

the 060 on the otherhand is about 35% short of its real value to be honest so a subtle bargin there me thinks...

I have just being doing business with a friend of mine from AmiBay, and he picked up an Apollo 060 for £147, now that is a serious bargin! again the listing was poor, advertising it as a Paragon + a serial number.... silly peoples...

still that blizzy 030.... stupid stupid money!!! should of gone to AmiBay!

Magnum 1230 mk II, much faster than blizzard 1230. Why ?
[Reply]

The clock speed of the Magnum is 40 Mhz whereas the clock speed for the Blizzard is 50Mhz. There will also be some differences due to the efficiency of the architecture of the board itself.
