Back in 2008 I foolishly sold my Amiga1200 while I was really short for cash!
Found my old related post here:

Just wondering if anyone on here has it, not expecting to buy it back, just hope it's being cherished and looked after. But yes, I wish I hadn't sold it...
Tip: I left a little message inside the flap of the cardboard box it came in (if you unfold the lid)

Ummm... if they aren't here (probably not) you might try asking at lemonamiga or the English Amiga Board. More Brits there than here.
Just a thought... I wouldn't have thought anybody would pay cash for a classic computer + extras just to deliberately destroy it.
Unless they were absolutely crazy of course, which is why I'm directing you to those places. :laughing:
Less so on lemon, it's a quiet place.

So much stuff just gets thrown out. I sold a lot of a friend's old Amiga hardware a software a few years back giving him half from every sale. He now complains that he's have made a lot more if he sold it himself, conveniently forgetting that the only reason he gave it to me was that I saw it all in the front hallway the ready to go to the council tip one day when I visited. I said don't throw it away you can get good money for that. He replied that I could have it all if I wanted and he wasn't concerned about the money. He know denies that any of this took place but has never even tried to offer an alternative explanation for how it all came to be in my possession.

I just had to go open one of my Magic packs cus inside is a 1200 with a Blizzard 1230IV and 4GB hard drive ... from my notes it says needs high res monitor. The note inside says Thanks for payment . Please leave feedback cheers Neil . Which I assume is not you. I have two other Magic Pack boxes... one has had the computer removed but it has all the OS3.1 stuff in there and the other is my own that I bought new from Analogic in 2003 if I recall and that has a Blizzard with SCSI . This Blizzard on this machine also has the SCSIKIT which you do not refer to. I also don't think I have that network card.
I did fire up this machine earlier this year and was functioning no problems.
By the way, previous owners of kit I bought can always catch up with their computers as I show them all on the website. I get mail quite often from folk that still keep in touch. A lot of my gear came from Amibench and I made some great friends from guys that I dealt with. I would very often have to collect so it was never just a quick drop by and pick up. I even returned to a few sellers to meet up and chat.
Was always very sad when Amiga guys gave up their kit. They often put on a brave face and made out it was really for the better. But you could just sense they secretely didn't want to let go. But the computers are on show every day on the website so they have the chance to still see the Amiga.
I'm sure your beloved computer is fine. Hopefully someone contacts you. You could also try some of the Yahoo groups. The old grapevine is still very active even though it may appear a little quiet.
