Well, one with an opalvision card, 16MB FAST and 2MB chip went for £180 on amibay...

So most basic would probably be around £150?

Do you have the cardboard box and the polystyrene inserts? That is the only reason it got to that price, some mad collector. It's not worth €311!

I've usually paid £150 for vanilla big box Amiga's (Mainly A4000/40 but the prices should be comparable)

 Same price of A2000 keyboard and mouse.

 OK, maybe a bit more... Say... 30% more.

 This is not exactly über rare pieces, you know.

come on. An A3000 is at least %150 more valuable than a stock A2000 for me.

on board 68030.
expandibility upto 16 mb ram (ok, expensive, but better than nothing, also you can find 72 pin SIMM adapter (http://cgi.ebay.com/Amiga-3000-Desktop-SIMM-Adapter_W0QQitemZ290246186859QQihZ019QQcategoryZ8142QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)s on the net)
possibility of Zorro 3 bus which gives access to cheaper and better performance cards.
Possibility of using A4000 accelerators which will create a kick ass system.
On board SCSI.
2mb chip RAM as stock
On board Scandoubler !  :crazy:

Therefore I'ld say a working stock A3000 is worth at least 150$. (no battery damage) while a stock A2000 is worth 20-30$ for me. (LOL it's %500, back to primary school I guess)

 I mean ~30% more just for mouse and keyboard. The computer itself worth a lot more.
