Dear friends, any ideas how much can I expect to get on a Commodore Amiga 1080 RGB monitor? It was working perfectly when I last used with my Amiga 1200 machine.
*PS* It's in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

It's worth $20 us... it is 20-30 years old...but
You can ask for any amount you want.
There may be someone who will pay it because they want it.
good luck, I offered one for free and NO one wanted it here.
Que Va?

Depends a lot on the local market, working ones in good condition seem to go for around $50 here, no idea about the market in Brazil. Shipping a CRT monitor is expensive and proper packing is difficult so it's not normally economical. I suspect prices will go up over time as supplies get scarce. Right now tube monitors are similar to the way tube audio was in the 70s, a lot of it you couldn't give away, even the high end stuff was cheap. It was common as dirt and nobody wanted it, then it was almost all gone and now any of it costs a fortune.

I'd go one further and say it is almost impossible to ship a monitor without it being damaged.
Even if you have the original packing (which isn't likely), shipping is hard on the internals.
And without that packing, physical damage is almost certain to occur.
I don't ship these, either selling them locally or giving them away.
