Default Commodore SX-64 (Yes, I know!)
I know it's NOT an Amiga, but it's still Commodore AND the prototype portable A500 was built in a modified SX-64 case, so what the heck.

Wow, good price on that.

But I'm more interested in learning about this prototype portable A500! Never heard those details before.

Not a bad price.

Well, it's already taken!

Don't think it made it half an hour before someone snatched up the BIN pricing.

Makes me wonder if I should've gone a tad higher. Oh well, such is life.

My favorite 8-bit Commodore machine, and yeah, the keyboards alone are probably worth $40-$50 apiece.

I used to have an SX way back when. Nice machines. I just got back into the 8 bit world with a C-128. Sure wish I had seen your auction.

You would've had to looked quickly! From list to sold was less than 30 minutes!
