"All i needed was a reference to know how much could i sell some of my Amiga items, realistic prices, not eBay overprices...
And because im selling the stuff to local amiga users (Argentina), so i dont want to rip them off, but to offer them a fair and realistic price for the items..."

Ebay is not a ripoff, it's a fair market price.  Its a realistic price for hardware, a lot of which hasn't been produced in years.  If you're looking for bargains you're going to need to really look hard.  And if you're reselling, then thats even more of a case (I mean you won't be able to buy stuff dirt cheap and resell it in bulk quantities).
no offence in any of what I state, just stating the facts.

"Well, i didnt mean "overpriced" on ALL and EVERY item...but maybe on some items (how odd, they are always the items I want to buy!!  )"

I know  :laughing:  same way i'm watching Red's amiga 4000T and thinking jeez maybe i can buy it for less than 1000 and it turns out bummer way higher already.

still 3 days to go.  and i'm not the only one that wants it. :-P
I was interested in this machine for CPU consideration mostly, as I got my A4000 for $650 (sure makes it look like a bargain now, if i'm desperate b/c i need bread to feed myself this is a nice investment) :-D

I guess we all wish you could buy amiga gear as cheap as some of the apple stuff...

@nine3o

She's holding up great.  I installed a socket for the battery (so i can replace it easily with 2032).  That price seems now like a good deal (at the time of purchase seemed a lot as A4000s sold for $300).  But i ain't selling it, not unless i'm hungry and need bread to feed myself  :roflmao:   Still, considering you didn't have to ship it (this thing weighs a ton) this was good deal for both of us i hope.
I wish i could find a faster cpu for it (040 is kinda sluggish but ok)... :-)
Did you end up keeping the A1200 or you got rid of all your amiga gear? :-P
