I once got a 2000 w. Supergen genlock, and a 1000 free from one of my old customers. I also got a 2500 from another customer for $100. To say nothing of the inventory from the store when it closed. ;-) Too bad I had to sell the 3000 to pay the rent. That's one machine I wish I still had.

Post by: mr_a500 on November 28, 2008, 04:26:06 PM: You lucky... (...what words can I say without being censored?)

I paid $400 for my A3000 and you got two, PLUS all that for $200?! (I hope you don't have to ship all that)

I suppose I can't complain. I got an A1000, A500, 1084, A2000, A4000, Mac SE, NeXTstation, Atari 1200XL, SGI Indy, and Apple IIc for a total of $100. (3 different hauls)

Post by: barney on November 28, 2008, 04:53:35 PM: No, I was lucky. I drove about 30 miles and picked it up in person. Cost me about 5$ in gas.

Only if you crossed state lines with your bounty would it be considered a felony. ;-)

Nice haul, none the less. I'm glad the Amiga stuff got into the hands of an Amiga enthusiast.

Post by: taunusand on November 28, 2008, 06:55:43 PM: Last year I was given a nice white A1200 for FREE!! :-P
I had to drive about 160 kilometers (about 100 miles), diesel expences about 90DKR or 15USD. Stupid Danish prices on gas/diesel :lol:

But I have spend more money on my A4000 than you did on this lot.. :lol:
