I think they put too many zeros in price. With keyboard and mouse it could be deal breaker :rolleyes:.

I guess I'm trolling a little but, I just asked him about battery condition and acid damage. Will pass his answer on for fun ;)

I tried making an offer of £1.00 but for some reason it said "offer declined"

In the attic for 20 years... the motherboard is half-eaten by spilled battery entrails.

I couldn't help but ask him directly if he was insane. Of course insane people usually think they're sane so we'll see what his answer is. This crap cracks me up and at the same time makes me very sad.

Still looks like 1k # to me.
I could buy a nice 4000T for that kind of money.

At least it is genuine! You can buy a BLUE CLOG KEY RING for £2 from the same seller... :idea:

haha even a rip off for 1990 pricing... considering it 2nd hand

According to wikipedia released in 1990 for 999 pounds  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiga_1500

It's not worth anything, but I'd say £30 was a fair price.
