You are going the right way... also check http://eab.abime.net/ ..

Ebay is ok, but the best deals will be from other amiga owners on the forums.  Amigakit, while providing excellent service is the most expensive route (and you will still need a power supply and software).

I did just order some 3.1 roms from Amigakit... the price was good. But I believe because of the nature of the computer itself (hard to find in good condition) Amigakit needs to double the price to make it worth the time and money of obtaining those machines, testing, restoring and possibly repairing them.  So of course they are more expensive... but they also are guaranteed to be working.

Just keep asking and someone will undoubtedly cough one up.

Don't pay more than $200USD for one stock in GOOD condition.

Anything more than that is too much unless it comes with a lot of goodies (like an accelerator and monitor).

Well, I'm not sure what happened but I went to Amigakit and selected a refurbished A1200 with no power supply of software.... the price it quoted was $168 USD.

Now thats not really a bad deal.  Not great, but if you can dig up a 2.5" hard drive and an A500, A1200 or A600 power supply, and find someone to send you some workbench disks, you'd be in business.

I have no idea what "refurbished" means though.  New case and keyboard?  White or yellow as a smoker's molar? No idea.

WOW!  If they really look that good then those are some good prices.

How are you guys getting new cases??  I've been considering buying a new case and keyboard.
