I'm sorry, but I can't agree with you at all. You are suggesting, that this company is selling A500s without power supply, software, manuals and mouse? This wouldn't be a working computer at all, thus they could only do this to get the price down. In one of your earlyer posts, you suggested, that this was an offer for people who already own an Amiga (thus they already have software and manuals) and have a spare mouse and powersupply. While the spare mouse is imagineable (I bought a 3 Button mouse, thus I have one left over) There is absolutely no reason, why I should have a spare power supply. Also, it is quite unbelievable that commodore would sell a computer without the operating software, because they view copying of the OS as piracy, which would be encouraged by leaving the OS out. As I stated before, an Amiga without OS, mouse (it has a graphical operating system remember) and power supply (!!!!!) (how could I even turn it on without that?!?!) isn't a computer, it's just useless. These are integral parts of the Amiga, not just some add-ons. This rises the question, where they got these Amigas. As sould be clear now it is quite unlikely that they got them from commodore. This leaves few possibilities: Either they didn't get the power-supply, mouse etc., because commodore didn't had them at that time, and C= wasn't delivering them early enough (this is quite likly, as what I think of C=). But selling a halve machine is not only unpolite, but quite questionable behaviour. Maybe they sold it without those parts, just to get the price down. This is lying to the costumer, at least when they don't advertize it correctly. Also it leaves the question, what are they doing with the spare parts, I don't see a market for this. And it could be possible, that they didn't get it from Commodore, but this seems very unlikely, where could they get it from?
