Make a list/take some pics of what you've got there. We'll be able to tell u what it is and what it's worth and which ones of us can go and get it :)

@BinoX

We can't actually tell him what anything's worth. All we seem to be able to do is tell people that stuff is worth what people will pay, and then also that they want way way too much. :roll:

OK.. I'll be able to tell him what I think they are worth :) And then hopefully be able to afford said items and go and get them :D

(I don't have much amiga stuff... honest... lol)

Yeah, sure. Listing them here is fine :)

Well, the working A3000 will fetch a nice price :)

The A3000 case (and broken motherboard) might also be useful to someone..  (How much you want for that.. sent to cornwall, through royal mail?)

Blizzard 1230 would usually reach at least £50 on ebay (usually more though)

The A1200s will fetch something too...

The boxed A500 might make something, but A500s were quite common so I dunno if the box would up the value or not...

The rest of it is almost give-away stuff.. so if you sell the A3000 that works, throw it in with it :)


Edit: and the ST is throw-away stuff lol (just joking I know a lot of ppl liked their STs)

£100 for the lot... You could get more than that on ebay to be honest...

If I could get to Kent I would take you up on the £100 for the lot offer, but cornwall to Kent is a long way.. and the petrol or train cost would more than double that price...

If you could post it we may be able to come to some arrangement :)

lol yeah. My Fianceé is expecting too..

But I still get to keep all my stuff :)

Thanks for the comment on my collection. :) My signature isn't all of it, just the main parts.

I'm pretty sure that someone on here will take you up on the offer though. Since it is a good deal :)

If no-one else gets it within the week then I'll see if I can get up there, or send a family member who lives close by :)

The thing you can know for sure if I do get it though, is that I'll clean it up, expand it and make sure it stays in working order. :)

The earthing problem is probably just a loose connection inside the power supply itself.. Open it up and see if there's anything obvious, like the earth wire has come off and is very near anything at all...

If not that then I'm sure an AT power supply could be modified to fit in an A3000 case and be usable :)

As for dial up BBSes.. afraid not.. I've only seen 1 active in the last 5 years and that's been shut down now :(

Is there any way that u could send the stuff down (check out www.parcel2go.com for a cheap courier)..

Kent is too far away from Oxford or I'd be there.

Why would you want a hard-modded xbox when you can softmod in 5 mins flat, and you'd never notice the difference?
