That's enough to buy a Minimig and have change left for a SAM mobo. I have two words for the seller...

haha well shipping from Perth costs a fortune to anywhere else in Australia...

I guess by the brightness of the plastic your paying for $900 worth of cleaning time that the seller spent retrobriting it

Ah the crazy world of selling Commodore stuff. I have been on holiday for a few days and a little computer shop, that sells retro stuff on the side, had a 500 for £300. That £300 for just the computer and PSU.

I had to laugh.

Wait a second? If an Amiga 500 is going to cost a 1000 bucks to buy, how much would then my Amiga 1200 is going to be worth if I sell it?

Specs:

1) Amiga 1200 (desktop)
2) USB SUB with four working USB ports on the back
3) 20 GB HD 2.5" (I still like it better than CF, hehe)
4) Soon to become a 68060 @ 50 Mhz with 64 MB of RAM. (In the future overclock it to 66 Mhz)
5) A monitor 1084s

(By the way I WILL NEVER SELL MY AMIGA AGAIN) but out of curiosity how much is it going to worh if I am to sell those specs? Thanks in advance.

I'm sorry, but the Amiga 500 is far superior to the 1200, thus the increased price...

Doubt it'd fetch more than a few million these days.

Come on if the 500 is superior surely the A1000 would be worth even more than a bank!

Manual kickstart loading, no other model enjoys that experience!

I'll put it easier, or cheaper...

If you have a PC Computer, not have any Amiga, and you are an Amiga nostalgic, then, just download and install WinUAE or UAE Amiga emulator and Enjoy!

I think every system worth "what" it worths for who search for them. It also depends in wich country you are living and how dificult is to find those items. I've spend a lot of time trying to buy for the best price my amiga items. I think on the last years many people just sell commodore and atari stuff to gain some good money on it on their own profit and it's because of the market expeculation that many times, sellers without the intention of doing that, see those expensive prices from other people and they end selling their stuff also expensive. The whole market it's addicted and inflactioned. It also depends on the use that we are gonna give to those items, I only buy items that i can play regular on it, not just to expose on a corner. The relation cost/benefict is diferent from buyer to buyer.
