I listed my Amiga 1200 PPC on ebay.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110166320972

The straw that broke the camels back was loosing a shoe box of Amiga goodies after I moved. I have not had the money or interest to replace everything.

I think it's a good deal. The LCD monitor included works very very well.

I really need the cash, and already have one to many Amigas and Ataris. This one was my pride and joy though.

Oh well. I hope it goes to a good home with someone here.

It <b>was</b> a good deal. I under selled it. I'm ok with this. 4 years ago, I'd have been lucky to see that much.

Anyway, to whomever bought it, I will finish packing it up tonight and ship as soon as I receive payment.

Awwww Drat! I missed this one.

I would have paid that for it and I'm local enough that I could have saved you the shipping hassle!

let me tell you this, shipping this to UK will cost around $150 if not more via EMS, and you specified it as $55(I hope it's states only) !?

I realize I let the system go for less then it's worth.
I do believe it went to someone that cares though.

About 5 years ago, I bought an Amiga 500 with about 600 floppies a SD/FF a HD and all kinds of other goodies for $40 out of a local classified!! I sold that after 3 or 4 years of use, and made $300. I felt OK doing it, since I still had the 2000 and the 1200. What I'm saying is that, what goes around comes around.

The market is stabilizing really. Things are getting harder to get and much more expensive. I think things are ending up in the hands of real collectors now.

I have one Amiga left. I will never sell it.

I cannot find any info on the horizontal scan rate of the VGA input of this monitor -

GreggBz - did you use the monitor with a Silver Box on the Amiga graphics output?

@hardlink

The monitor is NTSC. I used the composite input with the composite out. You had to manually switch inputs on the TV though. I also used the silver adaptor for some AGA modes, it worked well in DblPAL and DblNTSC and I believe productivity OK. Mostly though, I used the VGA out on the Bvision. It worked with most everything one way or another except PAL.

@Joshua

I own a 92' Subaru SVX LSL. Here is a picture -
