Hi all, how much do you think I would get for my system as I am thinking about selling it.
I very rarely use it these days so its just gathering dust.

TIA Ray
Specs.
Amiga 1200
EZ-Z4 Tower
Mediator LT4
M1230XA 50Mhz 68030 w/64mb
Voodoo 3 3000
Radeon 9250 128mb (used for fast ram)
Realtek LAN Card
Spider USB Card
80gb HDD With AmigaOS 3.9 + BB1-2

You will regret it :)

You will get whatever someone will pay for it. ;)
Oh, and what Djole said.
-
Echoing the above. However if you still want to sell it, I'll start the bidding at $2 USD. ;)

These days, probably more than you should, after all that is a fairly nice system.
I'd give it a minimum of $600, and it would likely sell for more.
Although, as posted previously, you'll regret it.

@ carvedeye
if it's in working condition with no issues and case in good-great condition I would say I wouldn't sell it for less than $900 + USD. Similar systems have sold for alot more over at AmiBay and ridiculous amounts on EBay. If it had an 060 or PPC board than that's another stratosphere for classic amigans :hammer:
oh & as other have mentioned yes you'll eventually regret selling it and eventually you'll end up spending 2 times more to get a similar setup in the future..& yes only AMIGA:hammer:
-
You will get thiiis many offers but probably in a few years want to buy it back for nostalgia. Thats at least what happened to me in the 90s and the ppc/4kt i had

The number of times I think back to when I got rid of something and curse myself.

I sold my A1200 setup a number of years ago and have regretted it ever since. Luckily I have an A 4000 but getting it all upgraded and trying to find some of the stuff I sold is expensive and hard to find. If you do sell it I would say around 900 bucks as it looks like a nice system. Think hard though because if you try to piece one together again with those specs it'll run you twice that, if you can get all the stuff
-
It can be a bit time consuming, but if you wish to achieve the best price, then I recommend you dismantle the Amiga and sell each part individually including the games. To find the current market value of each part do some research on eBay using the "completed listings" to give you rough estimate of what your hardware and games might all be worth. You might prefer a quick sale, or for the Amiga to go to a good home, however just beware that the Amiga scene is crawling with resellers these days, so if you don't take the time then someone else may have already done the math.
Also as others have said be 100% sure you won't ever want to rebuild a similar spec machine in future, even though your hardware is modest, finding the parts might be difficult, prices keep rising and if Elbox should ever go out of business the resellers will move in and triple the price of that hardware overnight.
Good luck.

Basically, this stuff is worthless, I tried selling a pile of stuff and had no luck at all, and for the few things I did sell, I only got pennies on the dollar, so it just was not worth boxing and shipping a 100 packages all over the world, so I just took it all to the electronics recycling depot.
And no, I don't regret it!

This (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fT7pFSfVZBI) goes through my mind when i read posts like this....

It's not "bait", I just got tired of people nickle and dimeing me to death, and just took it to the recyclers, solved all my problems.

Not trying to sound snarky but if you obviously hate Amiga so much, why are you still here?
Heck, even giving the stuff away on Craigslist would've been a better option...

Just threw out 2 Amiga 3000, one with a case one without, one Amiga 4000, with case none of them worked. but they did have the plug in card boards, and the power supplies. Good by to space taker uppers. Now I am getting ready to throw out a stack of Amiga Disks boxes that go 2 disks across and about 100 disks back on each side out, I have 5 boxes or more stacked about 5 foot high. Had to get rid of this stuff because we are moving.

Idiot! Is that what you wanted to hear? You're posting on an Amiga thread not RecoveringHoarders.com what do you expect me to say?

I don't hate Amigas, I still have my A2000 and A1200, I just threw out all the cards that I didn't need, plus an A500 that I haven't used in 10 years.
2 Video toasters
2 TBC II's
1 A2091
2 kitchen Sync's
1 personal Animation Controller
1 1084s monitor
1 ram card
2 AG1960 VCR's
boxes of books, manuals and (bad) disks
All the programs have been archived as .adf's
Most of the good disks have been reformatted to be used in my Emax sampler.
That's what happens when you move from a 2500 sqft house to a 700 sqft mobile home, you have no choice but to PURGE, when I went through the boxes in the garage, I never opened any of them, if I could not remember what was in them, then they could not have been to important, so I just took them to the dump.

It's called Craigslist. Or Freecycle. Heck, even post on Amiga.org and see if anyone wants to come get the stuff. Just because it's no longer important or valuable to you, doesn't mean it isn't valuable to someone. :(

In defense, I have found in the past times when it was impossible to GIVE stuff away, even on CL or FC. It was heartbreaking but I did have to throw some stuff out as I could no longer move it around or store it.

Hummm. Guess it might be location based. Among other random junk I've gotten rid of, I've had no problem giving away a van-load of Dell monitor stands in the past (we upgraded all the monitors in the office to specialized mounts). And heck, who even wants a couple of those things, let alone a van full? ;) (see attached picture for what I mean)
Oh well, next time y'all feel like throwing something away, let me know. Maybe I can find a good home for it. :)

I posted ads on craigslist, first to try and sell them, then to give them away, and even when they where free, I would get guys asking if I could deliver them to f***ing Vancouver, sure, I'm going to drive 150km each way in bumper to bumper traffic to deliver them... NOT!
So now I don't even waste my time, I just throw everything in the truck, and take it to the recycler.
