eBay: Amiga 1200 NOS (3.1 Roms, 68030 @ 33Mhz + FPU + 8MB Ram)

[w00p]

I won this auction and then someone told me to check out this thread. It looks to me like there are some people that think this was too high to pay (especially for a PAL unit), and x56h34 looks to be gloating about the amount it sold for. I must admit I took the time to look at vesalia.de which someone also told me about and I could have got the same type of unit (NTSC) + accelerator card for about $120 US less.

My question to the 'community' is do you think this is too expensive for what I am getting? I am not sure about shipping costs from Denmark to the USA so I would have to take that into account.

I look forward to the posts about this before I actually pay for the unit. Feel free to PM me if you do not feel comfortable replying in this thread.

x56h34 - please don't interpret this as a dick move, but I want to be sure that I am not getting ripped off and since I am just getting back into the Amiga scene I want to check with some people in the know. I'm also aware that if I decide not to buy the unit you have the option of leaving negative feedback on my eBay account, but hopefully you would understand my decision (if that is the case).

Desverger - I guess you didn't fully read my post, or the other post I made about selling that Amiga since I won another. All I was after was some feedback from people in the Amiga community as to this auction and its price. And the only reason I even made the post in the first place was that someone told me to look at it! Whether I decide to pay for the item or not is entirely up to me, but before I make that decision, I wanted to ask around. If you're not going to provide me with some feedback on the actual questions I asked, maybe you could post somewhere else?

x56h34 - I will probably end up paying for the Amiga, for some reason, I still like the fact as to what I am getting and money wise, I'm fine with parting with $375 for it. I was just caught off guard with your comment RE: the price it sold for.

Once again, for those of you who can not read, or do not understand. Regardless of whether you think I should pay for this item or not has absolutely no bearing on my decision at all! I was merely looking for opinions on whether people thought the total on the item was high. I went back and read over my previous posts and couldn't find anywhere that I stated I was not going to pay for the item; I did say I was thinking about not paying for the item, depending on the feedback. For those that were competent enough to read my posts and reply with their points of view, I appreciate it. For others, well what can I say ... thanks for trying?

Except for the fact that I'm not looking for an A4000 :-)
