Advice Needed: Should a buy a vanilla A1200 @ 50 Euro?

[xeron]

50EUR is ... £34.43. I bought a vanilla 1200 for my CD1200 project for £20, so £20-£30 seems to be the going rate. You might save some money by shopping around...

If you want to play games and use older apps, a basic 1200 can be bought quite cheaply, and works great. Who cares if its a "toy" or a "professional computer"?

While I would definately take a 1200 over a 2000 any day (no contest), I don't agree that they're better than 4000s.

I was very, very, very glad to get rid of my 1200 tower and replace it with a 4000. A system that has been as solid as a rock since.

Really? Including the C65, Amstrad CPC472, Amiga 2200, Enterprise 64/128, *ALL* the MSX models, SX-64, the Commodore CBM-II range, all the Archimedes/RiscPC models, the Apricot line of computers, the research machines 380Z, and 480Z, and the MITS Altair? Cool!

Edit: Incidentally, a friend of mine is attempting to own one of every home computer up to the mid-90s or so, and currently has almost 400 computers, and is nowhere near completing his goal ;-)
