We've just taken notice that German Amiga online shop Amistore.de has become a victim of the Corona virus pandemic.

Finding out today is especially sad as just yesterday the latest release of AmigaOS3 for classic Amigas was made available to customers, and in Germany this week a lot of restrictions introduced to fight the Corona virus have been lifted.

The website currently says (rough translation):

"

Dear customers,

due to numerous legal changes, we've decided to discontinue sales through this shop. You may contact us at any time via media-net-point.de.
We still have a lot of Amiga parts in stock.
We ask for your understanding.

Your Amistore.de team

Looking at the history of the website at...

...we find this message from probably March 2020 (rough translation):

"

Dear customers,

due to the current situation regarding the Coronavirus we close our shop as of now until April 4th 2020 for the time being.
Also we have to take care for our employees.

Open orders will still be processed!

We ask for your understanding.

Your Amistore.de Team

About two months later, it seems to have been replaced with the one that currently can be seen there. The Corona virus certainly leaves it's marks all over the world.

Best wishes and good luck to Amistore.de team, hope to see them around (again)!
