-2 joysticks
-1 mouse
-1 external disk drive
-1 external modem
-2 disk organizers full of software, games, back up copies, and blank disks
-tutorial disk, printer drivers disk, and workbench disk included
-head cleaner disk

Some of the disks include:
-Dune
-Arkanoid
-Space Invaders
-Dark Castle
-Space Ace
-Maniac Mansion
-Paper Boy
-Croak (frogger game)
-Fantavision animation
-Bubble Ghost
-Dungeon Master
-Crazy Pipes
-Lode Runner
-Defender of the Crown
-Deluxe Paint & Pro Draw 1.0
-Pro Write
-And much, much more!

This isn't on ebay.  Just trying to find a buyer.  I'm in the US.

I kind of have to sell it.  I'm broke.  It's either the amiga or a crib for baby.  And baby can't sleep on the amiga.

What are you looking to get for it?

Post by: Tomas on April 04, 2007, 05:53:47 PM

It depends on what you want for it.. I think you could get more for it if you sold lets say the software and games seperate on ebay.

Don't you all have FreeCycle in Utah? It's a great deal through Yahoo, usually for any city around the country. My daughter advertised that she needed a crib in our FreeCycle, and had a brand new one in two days. The only possible "problem" with FreeCycle is you are supposed to pick the items up. Just a thought......

I see Amiga 500s for sale all the time (ive got about 4 myself :crazy:)

(not too sure) you might get £30-40 for the stuff (if your lucky)

Does it have a harddisk because if so id buy it?

Congratulations on the baby by the way. :-)

Never heard of Freecycle, but I did list all the additional equipment the A500 would come with.  Most that I've seen for sale are just the computer. I'm hoping the addition of a monitor, games, joysticks, external drives, etc. will make it more appealing.  Not sure what about the value of some of the extras I have.  But I can list more details about them if that helps.  Who knows.  Maybe I'll juts try the suggestion of selling the games/software seperately.  *shrug*
