Buying an A1200 - Or not?
« on: May 31, 2004, 07:58:43 PM »
Hi there. I'm in need of some help on deciding what to do.

I want to buy an Amiga 1200, but I'm with serious difficulties doing so. I have two chances so far, none of them too appealing, but I must decide between them if nothing better comes up.

- I can buy a very cheap A1200 through eBay on UK. Trouble is, postage from there to Portugal is around 50€, and that without any kind of insurance. So, it goes to around €75 if I buy it real cheap and with insured postage.

- I found out here in Portugal a new A1200, wich goes for about 150€. Since it's new, I suppose it has the full 2 year warranty, and the regular software/accesories and brand new package.

So, here's my problem. Should I go for the €75 used Amiga in UK, with all the risks it poses me? Or should I go for the safe bet and pay €150 for a new A1200 with the 2 year warranty?  :-?
If it buzzes, bleeps and has at least two blinking lights, heck, I want one!!!  :-o

Anywhere in Europe (not counting with UK, the postage is just too expensive) where I can buy one of those?
