NEW lower price! Read carefully the description. Not everything pictured is included. $OLD!
A1200 in excellent condition. No yellowing. Brand new U.S. keyboard. Newer styled Amiga mouse (pictured elsewhere in this thread). SysInfo reports that this is a 42.7mhz M-Tec E-Matrix '030. Accelerator card has 32mb ram installed. 10gb IBM Travelstar loaded with ALL WHDLoad games. System includes: Kickstart 3.1, AmigaOS 3.9 w/ both Boing Bags, brand new Indivision AGA card for VGA output, A500 power supply, TONS of software, enhancements, patches, etc. already installed. System really flies for an "old" '030.
$400 + s/h from WI, USA. Everything works great and has served me extremely well all these years. Serious inquiries only please!!
Pics available. Shipped from Southern WI. PayPal not accepted. When replying, please state your name and where you reside.

Bump - updated pic & still have the system...

Think you will be having that system alot longer at that price

Quite possibly. Especially here. That's what I have into it though. Just trying to sell *here* before possibly posting to ePay, where it *should* go for that much.
Same old story huh? When you want to sell something, all of the sudden, it's not worth "that much". But when you want to purchase something, now it's worth all the tea in China! ;-)
I'd gladly keep my A1200 and invest in an 060 or better yet, an 060/PPC card. But guess what? Everyone here claims those cards can be had for $300 all day long - but in reality, none can be found for less than $500!! And this is my motivation for wanting to sell my beloved A1200. Would like to do something more productive with it without breaking the frickin' bank!!
Anyone here want to sell me an 060 for $300? I've asked this question before and not a single reply. GreedPay gets the best of most everyone now-a-days I guess.

I got my 060 card for $350, shipped, from the UK.
Keep an eye on AmiBay.
I think you'll find most Amiga buyers are interested in parts because it's more fun to build the system/upgrade the system you already have. In other words, the whole won't sell for the sum of its parts.
Unless you're lucky.

I get parting out systems - for sure. Especially A2000's ;-)
If people want to pay more for the separate bits, I'd be more than happy to accommodate!

The mouse in that picture is not the "newer style".
-
Yes, I had a different pic of the system up before I snapped the latest that showed the newer styled mouse. I prefer the original to the newer. BTW: That older styled mouse is a brand new old stock one. Feels like a dream and no, it's not included :-)

Bumpy w/ a lower price :-)
-
fair price indeed for a nice clean system plus the Indivision AGA !
it'll go on ebay fer sure..good luck

You'll pull your hair out thinking about EPAY or as my students say call it... EG*Y lol!..vs. Messageboards prices.
If you want Amiga 060 cpu cards try international auctions that originate in the UK and Germany and ask the seller if they will ship to your zip code. Offer a paypal payment and ask them to end the auction early.
This has worked for me. Gotta realize many folks place these things on EBAY due to the need for quick cash...or life situations... say a spouse that gives a guy an ultimatium like "get this Amiga crap ouuta here or else".
Having had most every amiga made...060, ppc. 040, cd32, fmv etc. etc...
and having played around with every Emuation out there... an 060 setup for current pricing is not worth the hassle.
The system you have is great. I'm using the ame setup to make my black box amiga... I run the 060 stuff on my Macbook under emulation using a CF card, I take the CF card from my A1200 setup with me and use it on my laptop.
The fast drive accesss "free builtin video card" super amiga AmigaKIT workbench would require $2000 investment in non warrantied flakey-ass vintage hardware.

System has been sold!

$400 seemed reasonable to me, but I didn't see the original price.
I paid 379 USD for my DCE Blizzard 1260 new. I think I've spent around 1600 USD on my A1200 tower.
