- Copperhead is a very fair company to deal with. It appears to be owned by two guys
- and for most part run by these two (I am making this observation based on my dealings
- with them).
- Yes, they are hard to get a hold of and appear to be snoozing in the back when you
- call. But they've always called me back and when I did have problems,they always took
- it back or made good trade! This is important, especially when so many Amiga dealers
- appear to be fucking their customers these days. Also this is good when were talking
- about used wares.
- It is worth a shot doing business with them. They probably have the best selection of
- used stuff available for the Amiga and if they don't have it today, chances are they
- will tomorrow.
- Their prices are only higher then what you see advertised in this this newsgroup, but
- then everyone is trying to steal from each other here.
- And finally, like any good used trader, they barter. Make theem a fair offer. They
- will probably take it.
