are we still sharing crazy ebay postings?

Last I checked they were maxing out around $200. Did not think a stock config would be in that much demand.

You can't even get a nice condish stock A500 for $200 now. These Amiga machines are selling for mad money lately. If you're looking on eBay, you really have to do your homework (if you're gonna mod an A500 best get a rev6a board). I can't even get a decent shape empty A500 case for less than $100 now. I also need a nice condish A500 keyboard which will probably set me back at least $50.

And with these new TerribleFire accelerators, the A500 is selling like hotcakes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yC2vx_fJy8

The A1200 is so hot these days 'cause, well, it's an A1200! :lol: I'm pretty much describing peeps that "are in the know" though. I laugh sometimes when a noob picks up an A1200 and asks "now what?". Yeah, nooby, all these Amiga add-ons are gonna COST you! :roflmao:

@gizmo350

I will probably do fleaBay also if I decide to put mine up. I will then probably turn around and try to find a PAL model also. I am finding more reasons why it is a better way to go.

I recently found a brand new 21" W/S Gateway LCD in my stash and tried my NTSC A500 with the C= 23pin to 15pin VGA adapter on it and found it syncs down to 15Khz. I'm suddenly a fan of NTSC machines!

I've gone through my A500 phase and have settled on the A1200 footprint now.     And, it makes the most sense to stick with a PAL version. I am thinking my NTSC model will not fetch as much.

I had a 37" Sharp LCD HDTV from 2005. I was surprised to learn that it synched down to 15Khz also and even did a fantastic job with interlaced screens. The only problem is it did not like PAL and I have a lot of PAL software.

What is the model# of that 21” screen?

I've gone thru my A1200 phase extensively, and have had a few A500's sitting around for years. Now I'm going in that direction. :lol:

Well, it's all good fun, yes? Plus, this gal inspires me! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNg4H-AAHuE
I'm not so much a hardware junky, although I have my share of the good stuff, I'm more of a software junky! I have scads of DOS & Amiga software (games and productivity). I gotta get some pills! :lol:

Anyhoo, keep me in mind...

BTW, I just bought a MAC Performa 450, maxed out, in mint condish... Don't know why other than i got it on the real cheap. All original boxed with all the original software, books and all that came with it new for $200.00 + free shipping! Still waiting on delivery. Should be fun!

Again...guys need to list model #’s with these things so others can perhaps enjoy some flat screen goodness..

I've seen crazy Amiga listings but this takes the cake!!!! :hammer:

I think I'll auction off the packing tape from my Amiga purchases in little 1" squares for $10.00 each! :lol:

[mindprober]

:roflmao:

[kreciu]

I would like to return this item. Reason? I forgot I have A500+, and this one is not compatible.

Make me wish I hadn't eaten mine

Price wise there is nothing wrong but shipping is at 999£. There are 4 bids so thought of posting here in case someone has put a bid and hadn't seen the shipping cost and maybe wants to clarify with seller.

[David Wright]

That is the ultimate ebay selling dick move.
Even if I inadvertently bid not seeing the shipping price, I wouldn't pay.

Over 128 bucks for a warped supposed NOS case that is missing the trap door and expansion port covers!
Hard to fathom that someone bid that much.
