If there is anybody out there who has a spare Amiga 2000 please let me know. I will pay for shipping. Keyboard and monitor has been donated earlier this week.

Then you could part it out and make a lick on ebay.

No, that was not the plan. I am trying to get a machine together again.

Good luck.
I hope you get one.
I am still looking for a donation for an A4000 motherboard.
:-D :-) :-D :-) :-o :-? :lol:

The difference between you and me is that you already have an Amiga, a nice one indeed.
-
Even just an EMPTY CASE would be a great start. So if somebody out there towered their Amiga and got a spare desktop case, please let me know.

Since we're on about freebies, would anyone like to donate a Porsche 911 . It needs to be yellow convertible but any colour would do at a push and if you want can you include a nice A4000 with cyberstorm PPC in the boot:lol:

It is all about proportional, if I could afford it I would give you a Porsche. Seriously.
Toy-car or the real one? ;-)

did they make a micro micro A4000 :-P
You might want to give a reason why your wanting someone to donate a A2000 for free! e.g for some kind of project, you own some sort of Amiga museum! Other words this topic is just gonna be fulled with stupid remarks like my one asking for a porsche or people thinking your just gonna sell it on ebay and make a quick buck! I sadly dont own an A2000 and i dont think I've been in the same place as one of them so I can't give you one :-)
-
...I just did not want to make up some story about some project. Off course it is for my self, I just don't have the kind of money. And I sure do miss my Amiga.
-
A2000's are very cheap if you get just the computer alone w/o monitor. Try ebay and bid on a dirty one and you're sure to get it cheap! I found one for $25 Buy it now. :)

I sure can agree and say I know exactly how you feel. But if you are very patient, you could set up a few "favorite searches" on Ebay. You can then set it to email you a daily status of any new Amiga 2000 listings. Then you can pick and choose and try bidding on some of the more reasonable ones. Eventually you will win what you are looking for. That's how I end up doing it and being cash-strapped. Sure, it takes a long time, but eventually ...
If you are open-minded, a few people on here might be able to offer you a 2000 at a reasonable price. Or you can try comp.sys.amiga.marketplace newsgroup or Amibench (http://www.amibench.com/). I've done a few deals with very nice people on all three locations.

Dude, just go on eBay. After a while, you will find one cheap (50 bucks or less is my idea of cheap, but that may be too much for you).

I bought an a3000 motherboard off ebay for 100 bucks. I did a little hack jobbie to get it powered off a spare atx powersupply i got from a case i found in a trash can... I bought a kb for it off ebay for next to nothing.
If you dont have the resources to buy a cheap amiga, why not just use UAE? It's free and gives you way more flexability anyway. I bought an a1000 to play old games again, but i ended up using UAE instead. No more screwing around with stacks of floppies or waiting for crap to load. UAE means i can take that pimp 21" lcd i just got and drive it at 320x200x32 colors and draw stick figures in dpaint.
At the very least, you could have offered to detial somebodys car or service their wife for a box.

The good old bartering system!

@brianjax
don't loose hope, just stick around for a while and someone will surely help you sooner or later. it would be easier if you were from Europe as there are many old Amigas out here.

Anything else I should have done? If you noticed I wrote (Florida) in the subject line, in case somebody from Florida responded I would have thrown in some goodies, but it is quite hard to haul stuff to Virginia Beach.
I will service this girl for a box. *lol*

You guys need to learn to work the system. I got three free 2000s in under a week. :)
-
Oh go on, I can't afford to buy one. And it is for a project after all. And then, um, I'll donate it to a museum! ;-)

Work the system, huh? As long as it is legal I am interested. :-)

There are tons of people with Amigas in their garages collecting dust. Often they want to get rid of them but do not want to put them in the trash because they had invested so much in them years ago. You post an ad in the local paper or on Craigslist and state that you are wanting to take them off peoples hands and give them a good home. Voila' you have a ton of Amigas.
This is what I paid for mine...
A3500 - Free
A4000 - Free
A3000D - Free
A3000T + A2000 + A1200 + 2 NICs + 2 SVGA + CSPPC - 200 USD
A2000HD + 2320 + tons of software - 40 USD
A2000 + tons of software (OS 3.5, OS 3.9, IBrowse, Miami Deluxe, etc).. Free
A2000 + C128 + 1010 floppy + 2x1571 + manuals and software - Free
You can do the same if you really want to. :)

Yup, the picture dump was passed around a lot back in the day as a bsd joke. Personally i take offense that the previous poster basically occuses me of having innaproprate material on my website.

Who, me?
See, had you now attached a .txt file in that directory, explaning, nobody would have said a word.
There is a logo on the pictures saying peachez16.com or something like that. I cleared my cache after visiting your web-site.
Nobody is accusing you of anything, people just wrote, is she over 18.
So, you have no reason to be offended. Easy now. :lol:
