I have an Amiga2000 with GVP TekMagic 060 with 48MB, ASDG Dual Serial, GVP Spectrum 2MB, KS3.1, OS3.5, DKB MegaChip, 2GB, 1GB and 500MB SCSI HDs, two DD floppy drives, internal SCSI CDROM, external SCSI CDROM, keyboard, a couple mice, always been in a non-smoking environment. Software - ADPro, TurboCalc, AmigaDOS back to 2.04, plus others (I'll make up a complete list at some point, if requested).
I would like to see what the interest in such system would be before I decide what to do with it. It still boots up fine after 15 years of service. That last time I was inside it, about 3 years ago, the battery looked fine, no leakage, but it may need replacing. Again, I can dig a little deeper if the interest is there.
This is my second Amiga that I had after selling my A1000 way back in 1989(?). I would like to get fair value for this machine. I realise what it is so I am not looking for thousands of dollars. I'm not going to say that it is way better than any of those AGA machines (hehe, yah Doomy). Please send serious offers to PM or legopete at rogers dot com.
Thanks,
Peter

As far as A2000s go, that sounds like one of the best. Hope you find a home for it.

It has been my pride and joy for a number of years, so I am having some pre-separation angst. Reality is I just don't use it that often anymore and I need to raise some cash for a digital SLR. I do use AmigaForever every now and then, so I figure if I really miss that Amiga feeling, I'll build an Amiga Forever box.

Don't sell it! You'll hate yourself the next day. I know.
-
Aww, I'd keep it...
-
I'd keep it too :-D
-
Keep it, keep it!!! I once sold my miggy's and now I have more then I ever had before :-o
-
the king cadillac of 2000's :-o
if you guys are so keen on it not going to "???" then make the guy an offer. i have a 3000 im building up or id make an offer
-
I would do, but
A) I'm skint
B) I live in Europe, therefore lots of $$$ for shipping and import duty
-
skint? is that broke? as in no money? yeah im that too.
-
Not to mention that these industrial specced beauties weigh so much shipping will be at least 80 US$ (no import taxes on used items though!)
And my account is maxxxed out too :(
-
I'm only interested in "Professional" grade machines with
"Miltary Spec" chips in them. :lol:

BTW, if this doesn't make sense, just ignore my statement

Keep it! money isn't everything! Amiga is!
(and fix that battery before it's to late!)
-

Same that c64_d0c :-)
Money is the mater of time, so take the time to get the money...
Or sell me the 060 cards and I return you my A2630+GVP série2 HC+8 :-)

I wish I could keep my military spec Amiga, but it just doesn't get the use it used to get. I know I will miss it, but, like I said, if I miss it too much I'll just build an AmigaForever box - I currently have enough pieces to do so. When I went to cable modem I stopped using it (no more net access) and I just can't justify spending $150+CAD for a bloody Zorro-RJ45-NIC. Also, I am changing other hobby areas - switching film SLR to digital SLR. I also have come to the conclusion that I just have too much freakin' stuff. I think my hobby IS hobbies - Lego, model rockets, RC cars, slot cars, computers, photography, stamps, kites, woodworking, music - and I have to start thinning the list. So if any of you guys want any Lego, model rockets, or RC car stuff, let me know.

I think you should sell it to Doomy so that he can sell it to several other people!
:flame:

PS: This is not an actual endorsement for Doomy. Had this been an actual endorsement this post would have been sufixed with a "Milspec:" number.

I once had a model rocket and set it of a few times in the park near my house, it was great, then decided to get the biggest engine possible (I was using mid to low size ones at the time), you got four of them in the packet, well I was dead excited, how far was it going to go? etc.. set it off and that was the last I saw of it lol, it went that high that I watched it come down in a cemetery that was miles away (how ironic), went looking for it but never did find it, that was the end off that hobby.

I have to admit, I would keep it as well.
The wierdest thing is that everyone has thier own favorite Amiga. You always think you want a different one, a faster one maybe, but you always end up back at the same place.
Mine was the A2000. I dont know why. I have owned 1000's, a few 3000's, a bunch of 500's and an Amiga 1200. I don't own any of them anymore. I always end up with an A2000 again. In fact, after selling all my Amiga's about a year ago, I just purchased 2 more A2000's from ebay.
I would keep the 2000.
Just my 2 cents,
Mike

@Pete
First, Bubbles rules!! :)
And second, I'd love to take it off your hands but I can't justify spending any money on a classic when I already have too many... I should be saving up for a Pegasos or A1 if anything. Very nice system though!
That said, if you're just looking for a good home for it... look no further =)
I'm in Halifax.

hey if hes just looking for a good home i might be closer im in new york :-D
-
Like others, I'd happily buy the GVP TekMagic 060 with 48MB! I'd take the whole lot, except I just bought an A2000.

.....ho ho. I used to fly rockets back in Arizona. Did the same thing: built a super cool rocket, stuffed the biggest freakin' engine I could into and the biggest freakin' parachute. We tracked it as far as we could til it hit a thermal and it just went up...and up...and up... and then the tiny little speck disapeared from my binoculars. But another kid had a fat telescope and he followed it to ground a couple three miles away, hangin' from a power line. By the time we drove out across the desert and found it the chute had gotten untangled and it fell into my hands. I tossed it in the car and we jumped inside and my buddy's little brother sat on it and crushed it..... :evil:
