New?  Unlikely except for those Petro's that had been holding in a warehouse in India and are all sold and, thus used.  Those were AT models, not Commodore.

I don't know where you've been for the last 20 years, but yes - they are all long gone.

Not in years.

You might be able to find an unopened NOS C= A1200 from some freak hoarder/collector (there are a few in the community!) but be prepared to spend thousands of dollars.  Good luck!  :lol:

Hmm, still on their website. " http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/catalog/?currency=USD "

Oh for the love of god. It's been "Stock Expected: T.B.A." for the past four years. If they have any, they'll chime in here. Or just send them an email. But I'll eat my hat if they're somehow secretly sitting on a stash of NOS C= A1200's and haven't been trying to push them for sale on the forums in all this time. :p

Unless those eBay ones are the Petro's (which by default make them used), you are stuck with searching for a "pre-owned" A1200 of top quality "in the box."

If you can't settle for that, have you considered buying something else that is "new?"
