...but if they do, they'll also understand that they can get a second hand one for little more than 30 USD....


Sure you say this, but I haven't seen an Amiga 1200 go for $30 for a long long time.  In fact, if you or anyone else on this board can sell me a working undamaged NTSC A1200HD for $30+shipping, I will paypal you immediately.

$130 is actually the going price here in the USA.

 enough machines to meet the US demand.  

On the other hand, A2000s and A3000s are usually fairly cheap here, and seem to bring much higher prices elsewhere.  The last time I (half-heartedly) tried to sell an A3000/030 @25 and kick 3.1, the best offer I got was $100.  :-P


I just paid $170 for an A3000 in stock config.  Thats really too much, but the reason was that it was clean, not yellowed, and came with disks, etc.  I know I could have gotten a machine loaded with ram for around $200, but I just couldn't find one in the condition I wanted.

Last year, I sold my clean A3000 (like an idiot) for $150 with 1084s monitor, DCTV, etc.  I *knew* when I left the post office that I had just made a mistake, but I was broke at the time.

I did the same think with an SX64 (which I replaced just last month).
