He just messaged me on my wall. He offered me one for 150 Euro...

Yep, I'd say it be true!

He's sorting things out right now. You should hear official word before long.

Needless to say, I'm going to raise money to get one...

Signed no less.

Interesting and kind of cool news, but 150euro seems a little steep in my opinion, unless there's a warranty involved.

To each his own though and nice to have some more classic amigas in circulation.

As much as I grumble about having no discretionary money, I'm pretty sure I can dig up the buck to snag a NOS 1200. I don't suppose 1500 will go too very quickly, though I wouldn't want to chance that at a good price.

I wonder how the caps will be after all this time.

From what I understand, these are the old Magic Packs. Box, software and all.

That and having it signed would make it worth while to me. I'll end up storing it in a plastic tote as a collector's item.

Now to raise the cash. Joblessness sucks!

150E is a bargain. Good condition A1200s go for more on ebay. And these are NOS.
Still.. I would like them to go on sale through AmigaKit so they can test each and every one. It would really suck to buy one of those Amigas straight from the container and realize it's not working. I would pay 20E more for that kind of reassurance.

EDIT:
What is there in a Magic Pack ?

From my understanding of Petro's English...

They are coming from a buyer that Petro had sold to back in the day when he was president.

Probably the indian connection. Amiga tech. Sold some equipement to India in their last years. Less than a year ago, i talked to an Indian reseller that still stocked NOS amiga equipement.

There might also be some CD32s. I remember ther was a massive sale/stock dissapearance when CBM went bust.

I heard of numbers of about 15000 units, but then it could have been just nonsense gossip.

1,500 is the number Petro quoted to me.

EDIT: 1,500 units, not 15,000.
