WTT: A1000 for NTSC A600

[gdanko]

If you have a nice clean one.. in the box preferred... I will trade a nice clean A1000.

LOL the A600 is worth like 5X a A1000.  What a nice deal that would be for you!

[gdanko]

For a collector the 1000 is more value. The 600 is basically useless since the 500 which is more plentiful is easier to come by.

if you're saying A600 is weaker than A500, then why you want A600?

To have two of each model. I have one to use and one for parts.

Well here in the US the A600 is uber rare and the A1000 is very common.  Yes a boxed A1000 is nice and collectible, but a boxed NTSC A600 is even more rare and collectible!  Now in the EU I would gather the opposite is true, A600s common and A1000s not.  Funny huh?

[gdanko]

Well heck. I don't mind holding on to another A1000.

[TjLaZer]

I have a MIB NTSC A600HD but I paid $175 for it a few years ago.  Yes ouch.

I have to agree w/TJLazer about the availability or rarity of NTSC A600's here in the states compared to A1000's, but I don't think your proposal is way out of line.  If I didn't already have 2 A1000's, and had more than one A600, I would consider the trade, but then my only A600 is not 100% as it has an intermittent keyboard problem.

You may find someone that either has two A600's and is willing to make the trade, or only has one and would rather have the A1000 for nostalgic reasons in their collection.

It is really quite funny that so many Amiga users have become Amiga collectors (like me with 18 Amigas) and desire to have one or more of every model produced.

I would like to trade one or more of my Amigas for a clean, working A3000T, not that I need one for any reason, but just to have a more complete collection, and because I think that the A3000T was one of, if not THE best Amiga models every produced.

Aside from the different versions of the 500 (500+ etc) I have at least one of each. I need a parts mule machine for each!
