Hello to all
Some of you know me because of the Amiga badges
(which will continue to be available ... so by the way)
Well, after a longer planning phase, it's time to let the cat out of the bag.
As Walter Mamo has already mentioned in another post, we are close to production of the A1200 cardboard box.
First of all, this is a very expensive affair, on the one hand the reproduction of the layout which took some days, on the other hand also the effective production.
Remember also that as Commodore had these boxes manufactured, it was about thousands of copies .... and this number is in these days and age for the A1200 simply crazy.
(more boxes = cheaper condition when buying materials / manufacturing and initial costs spread over more boxes = cheaper price for the buyer)
Well, to actually be cost-effective (who likes to give away money?), I have to sell at least 80 boxes to keep the price as calculated.
a fair number, some thousands of euros.
On the one hand, I could take the risk and just produce the boxes based on your reaction in Walter's post ...
Honestly, the risk is a bit too high for such material and manufacturing costs.
That's why I make you a suggestion:
If I have ordered and paid 50 boxes from you within 2 weeks, they are guaranteed to be produced & delivered. The remaining 30 pieces until breakeven I would take on my shoulders.
For your security regarding "investment" of the purchase price, I can answer with the Paypal Buyers Protection.
If the 50 boxes would not come together, there will be an immediate refund of the entire purchase price after the 2 weeks have expired (including postage, of course)
now to the actual thing:
1 A1200 Cardboard box costs (incl. Paypal fee!) 48 Euro's
The box contains the actual A1200 packaging as an example picture of the prototype shows, as well as the "innards" for fixing and positioning of the Amiga and accessories.
An important point is to mention: the entire box is laminated, which means scratch and moisture resistant on the outside.
The whole Box will be made with 3mm 3-walled cardboard.
Stable enough to ensure a "longlasting life"...
Postage is 16 euros EU-Wide (up to 3 Boxes, flat though but still relatively large)
Start of the pre-order phase is today, the 26.4.2019
If 50 paid orders arrive until friday 10.5.2019, I start the production and the boxes will be shipped within 1-2 weeks.
Should it (which I really do not hope) not come to the 50 orders, I will on 11.5. make the repayments.
just in the case you want one, make a payment of the described 64 Euro's with a comment "cardboard" to my paypal:

So, i count on you.
