Vanilla A2000, what is it worth?
« on: January 22, 2007, 04:52:52 PM »
Hi!

Just got my hands on a plain, very good condition, A2000 rev. 4.2 and is wondering if it is worth anything out there.

Standard machine, with no harddrive, but with a 5 1/4 drive thats connected to its own controller card, and ofcourse the 3.5" drive.

Looks real nice, except some minor "monitor stand marks" on top of it. I guess its mostly rubber marks.

Here are some images of it:








Thanks for any reply

Well, a plain A2000 with working floppies would get you maybe 20-30$ on the optimist estimate. However that controller card is possibly not only a controller for the 5.25. Probably it's a PC emulator/bridge board, and it may add some value depending on its specs. The biggest problem is, you're in Norway, and possibly this nice A2000 too, and if you try to sell it overseas it will cost an arm and a leg to ship (from what I've heard of Norwegian shipping rates).

If you can identify and sell the bridgeboard seperately it can fetch more price than the A2000 itself.
I believe in mt. Fuji

As I expected.

Well, closer inspection of the cards reveals that it is a "Commodore A2088XT"
More at BBOA

Is this worth anything to anyone here?

I was thinking that someone would want the motherboard or something.

I guess I'll keep it in the box (it came in it's orignal commodore box) for now. I have enought amigas to occupy my time.
