Title: Trade an A500+ for a A1200
Post by: Ni72ous on March 20, 2013, 11:44:39 AM
Anyone with a spare A1200 want to help me out by trading their spare A1200 for my A500+, i don't earn a lot of money and have a young family so can't really afford to spend what it costs for a second hand A1200 now, the A500 had the battery leaked and i cleaned it up the best i could and installed a new battery/resistor but it don't seen to save the time, but it is a very clean example, i feel like i am begging but that's all i can do atm, i am in the kent area and am willing to offer some cash and collect if possible, A1200 can be in any working condition but only ask here as i know it can be brutal on a.org but in general everyone on here are good people.

Thanks in advance

I understand completely your need for A1200. It literally is the best Amiga 1200 out there that and Amiga 4000. You can pretty much do everything in it from watching movies in HAM8 quality to listening to MP3, browse the internet, chat, play games and even these cool new games and programs are coming out such as DOSBox, AmiQuake 1 and 2, Strife, ScummVMAGA and so on...good stuff. Sadly I do not have a spare one and you will find it very hard for someone to trade an A1200 with an A500+ only of that person is completely 100% over the top compassionate and feel your plea. Majority want either money or better trade than A1200 with A500+.

I suggest you sell your A500+ and buy one here in eBay: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/AMIGA-1200-Kickstart-3-1-1230-64MB-Compact-Flash-8GB-Jeux-WhdLoad-Ecran-/281081405017?pt=FR_GH_Informatique_Ordinateurs_Ordinateurs_de_Collection&hash=item4171c1de59

though completely understandingly a little pricey as you can see.

It toke me almost two years to get my Apollo 1260 @ 80 Mhz with 64 MB of RAM capability and I am unemployed too...so if you are working and you do saving you can get yourself a good A1200 plus selling that A500+.
