Merlancia strikes again...

Looks like they still have plenty of $800 Amiga 1200s in stock. ;-)

These have been circulating on eBay for years now.

My Amiga 1200T with Blizzard 1260 and 1.3g HD 32meg Ram only costed me £75!  :-o

I'd rather buy a C64 then!

If he manage to sell one of these, then I have an A1200T for $1000 dollars. Doesn't it sound fair? :-)

For $800 I would rather get a Pegasos, or maybe a really nice 17" TFT and a beefy graphics card for my PC. :-)

I mean, geez, I bought an A1200, 800MB HDD, C= 1084, all issues of AmigaInfo plus a lot of software for 1/4 of the price.

I bought an A4000 last month for just £85. $800! It would have to be some spec to sell at that price...

To quote Mr Hankey:
Holy poop on a stick!!!

I can't imagine that anyone would buy it at that price.  The seller is looking for a miracle.

If you think that this price is unreasonable, try finding one at a dealer and see if they even have one.They may be advertising them, but do they really have any in stock? This is absolutely MINT IN BOX!

:lol: Wankers... Oh, now you've explained that, your price seems very reasonable :roll:

Geez...thats over AU$1200, #### that, my A1200 cost me AU$250 and I got a lot more than that. Oh well, come to think of it, some guy tried to sell me stock A1200 for AU$900, some people are have a warped idea of how much this stuff is worth.

More than what I paid in 1992 for my A1200HD, and it doesn't even come with DPaint 4!

Must be that damned American inflation.   ;-)

Same guy that sells Amiga 2000 keyboards for $90 24/7 on eBay. Good grief.

I wouldn;t touch that stuff with a sanitizing stick. A1200 is less than 200 in value, in box maybe more for some people who wouldn't use it... for me, maybe 100-150

edit: that is a sick expensive starting bid! i have seen other stores even here selling new a1200 for *one fifth* of the price of the starting bid here

So they'd have to pay you 4 times the price of the A1200 when you buy it from them?

This is how it goes when you have not had any sleep in a while  :-P

Whatever the market will bear, I guess.

Of course, the rip-off factor comin' down the pike from Merlancia is pretty high so a start of $599 or whatever it was is no big surprise...

Sorry, I'm just being anal here, don't be offended.. :-)

(5 times less is not one fifth of the price.. once less is zero, twice less is -1, etc)
