Title: Wanted: Amiga A2000 Hardware
Post by: tokyoracer on November 15, 2007, 10:36:13 PM
I'm after various Amiga hardware for the A2000. I got one of these free with a SCSI card but needs a new PSU and really could do with more RAM. I don't have a huge budget but I will do my best to make a sensible offer.
Feel free to post or PM if you have anything 2000 related that you don't want.
Thanks for looking. :-)

Wow!  You mean I can just ask for big box Amigas and get them for FREE?  All this time I have been going the stupid route and competing for them on Ebay!  Silly me!  :lol:

I guess if you have the balls to wish big, you get the spoils.

Well, if you can't beat them, join them:

Does anyone have an '060 card for my A2000 I could have for free, for the price of postage?

Just look around the local "car-boots" or put in an ad. I got 5 A500's, RAM's, faulty 1200, 1200T, genlock and loads of other random hardwares and softwares (LOADS of floppys), you name it for £45. Not to mention plenty of VHS's to have a good laugh at. :lol: Well it's still useful I suppose...

I'm 18 and being a student doesn't pay I can tell you!!!

I go to the carboot ever week-end i have only found a A500 (with RAM expansion), A1200 and a CD32 they were all on the same stall for £3 each i also bought a A500+ off ebay for £15 (inc P&P)

Well then you have nothing to moan about. Got a damn good deal there.I foolishly sold it for a copy of GT4 when it was first out, how wrong I was to do that! >.<

I once got a 1200 with random stuff for £1 and had a HD in it too. You got to be very lucky these days as more and more people are getting into this retro computing stuff and the sellers are starting to realise it.

I just H8 the keyboard amiga's (if you get what i mean) because they arent as expandable (unless you have allot of money)
All my miggy's apart from the A500 are factory standard unless you count a A1200 with a HD init non standard

You just missed an A2000 on Ebay that went for £31 there are a couple more on there now.You'll have to scour the listings to find the others though.It's surprising hows cheap you can get some deals off Ebay.My lastest was an A600 for only 99p plus postage.

Hey, you have more Amigas than some people on this board.  If you really don't like those "keyboard" type Amigas, why don't you sell the four you have.  That would give you enough money to buy a basic A2000.

Do you think Anyone would sell a completely standard A4000 for £50 inc P&P? or a A2000 with scsi/ide interface with more RAM?

Forget it. These things sell for about that with a faulty motherboards. Like my uncle's but I don't think he has it anymore. Your best bet is to upgrade the 1200. I'm thinking of retiring my 1200D and putting all the stuff in the 1200T I bought.
But like I said, why not put a wanted AD in the free ads and see who calls? That's how I got my stuff cheap, plus nobody else did that in my area so the Amiga market was all to myself, no competition. Just make sure your polite and positive over the phone and ask how much they would be looking for. Just hope they say "Well I'm just hoping to just get rid of it" (*JACKPOT* lol). Although I couldn't leave a guy who gave me 2 500's, 1 600 and several bits and pieces for nothing so I gave him £10 for his time. :-) It's good fun if you can get the transport.

I have seen a Amiga A1200 in a tower (no PCI) with a '030@50mhz SCSI CD and HD, 4 GB 2.5" HD, 3.0 ROMS
and a Monitor for £180.
is it worth £180?
Will it run OS 3.9 ok if i got 3.1 roms?

No, I wouldn't say a 1200 in a tower with an 030 was worth £180, that's far too much. Your best bet is to keep an eye on amibench.com There aren't many bargains to be had on ebay nowadays but sometimes you can get some deals.

How much do you think the tower i said is worth??
Title: Re: Wanted: Amiga A2000 Hardware
Post by: Gwion on November 18, 2007, 06:24:45 PM
There is a Amiga A2000 with keyboard, mouse, monitor, 1.5MB RAM and a PC Bridge board.
How much should i pay for that?
Its either this or a Michael Jackson picture disc collection.

You dont really want an A2000 (or an A1500).

If you have only £50 to spend, you want an A1200 with RAM expansion and hard drive.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230193558621

Again dont pay more than £50
