Hi Holley,

Doomy - you've posted these in the general forum


Yes, because they are NOT yet on eBay.  I am giving all you guys a chance to get them first before I list them on eBay.  If someone here wants them then I will not have to list them on eBay.   :-D

Hi amigamad,

Thats what he.s always telling us.


Not true.  I have never included the Amiga 500 in the list of low quality Amiga models.  That list is the following:  Amiga 600, 1200, 4000, and 4000T.  As you can see the Amiga 500 is not in the list of low quality Amiga computers.   :roll:

Guys, are we not getting off topic?  What does any of this have to do with me selling my Amiga 500?  Are any of you guys interested in buying it?  If not, then I will just part it out and sell the parts on eBay.   :roll:

I would be willing to sell the Amiga 500 with its power supply for only $40.00.  This is one of the nicest Amiga 500s that I have seen in a long time.  Usually, every time I find an Amiga 500 it is yellowed or scratched and chipped.  Or the keys will be broken or dirty and warn out from heavy use.  This Amiga 500 is absolutely perfect.  If I can not sell it for the price I want, then I will keep it.  I already found a very nice PC tower case that I can put it into.   :-D

I will keep this awesome condition Amiga 500 before I let it go for less then $40.00.  ALL of the classic Amiga games and demos run on this computer and I know how hard it is to find an Amiga 500 in this greata shape.  You guys will find out what I already know- the OCS Amiga computers will become the most highly saught after of all Amigas in the near future because most of the classic Amiga software was produced to run on the OCS chipset.  I have been watching the Amiga 2000, 500, and 1000 computers on eBay for the past several months.  I have noticed that these machines are starting to sell for more and more money each time.  We will see what happens in the future.  I fear that as always I will get the last laugh.   :lol:

Just a heads up folks.  I found out that the Amiga 500 that I am offering for sale is one of the rarer "premier" issues.  It has the small, square Commodore logo under the large Amiga logo.  The more common Amiga 500 has a much larger emblem under the large Amiga logo.  Because this is a rare Premier issue Amiga 500, in like new condition, the price has now been raised to $265.00 plus s/h.  You guys sould have bought this rare Amiga 500 when it was only $40.00 plus s/h.   :lol:

I am probably just going to keep this computer anyway after finding out that it is the rarer version.   :-D
