Title: priced to sell
Post by: weirdami on January 04, 2004, 12:49:56 PM

In times gone past, you could judge the going prices for Amiga stuff by checking out Fidonet. Nowadays, it's not so easy. :-( How do I go about figuring out what something Amiga is worth nowadays?

Is fidonet still around?

Ah good old fido... Spot anyone ?

Fidonet still exists, well few months back anyway;

http://www.fidonet.org/ (http://www.fidonet.org/)

but it's only a shell of its former self, only few active nodes left.. It should be accesible from Interenet and newsreaders

Well... I don't know of anny place that have check on resonalbe Amiga hardware so the best way would probably be to check multiple sell places over a substancial time.

If that isn't an option then put in what you concider a low offer on things and check the reply, try to poke in what a resonable offer might be if the person find it too low.

You can of cause also ask around on places like this if this and that is a good offer or not... most ppl are more than happy to help if they can but let at least 4-5ppl reply before you decide to buy.

I`m surprised no-one has mentioned amibench.org. This site is a good reference for Amiga pricing, plus is a damn good source for older equipment.
