Rough pricing of my a1200
« on: March 14, 2011, 05:10:26 PM »
Hopefully it wont come to it, but money problems (and frustration with my amiga) are making me consider selling my a1200. Just wondering what a reasonable price is for an a1200 + 40mhz '040 accelerator (apollo1240 with mach131 chip and socketed cpu) + 32meg fast, 10 gig hdd, pcmcia network card, star cursor joystick, mouse, a500 power supply, about a dozen original cd titles, about the same in original floppy titles (withy manuals, boxes,etc.), some amiga programming manuals and about 500 floppy disks.
I was thinking (hoping) for around $500. Does this seem reasonable and/or likely ?
Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.

Yeah, I expected that Id get more to split it, but while money is an issue, Id still rather sell it all together to an amiga person. Floppies I dont mind making an exception for. Really though I dont even want to sell it, but getting my amiga on the network is really pissing me off, and I have no interest in a machine I cant use on a network and am getting sick of swapping harddrives over (and the tedious process) to simply copy files to my amiga (of which there's usually a few every day). If I could get my network going I wouldnt even be thinking about it, but by now Im absolutely pissed with it all. I just hope I dont smash it before I get to sell it, which isnt unlikely. Right now it's not just useless, but annoying me to a point that swearing profusely at it seems reasonable (but I'll refrain from saying what Im really thinking :P).

@Franko
Unfortunaely that would require money, of which I have none. Only managed to get ahold a network card because it was my birthday a few days ago and I have no money until mid april besides that.

@Krephren
It's only my actual amiga Im contemplating selling. I still have my amithlon/os3.9 box. Even if I sell my classic Im not going anywhere :)

@TheGoose
Well that's part of the problem I guess. Im getting sick of working on it. I just want a machine I can use.

Actually I dont have a lot of interest in older games. I went on a bit of a nostalgia trip when I 1st got the accelerator, but its definately not a priority. Im more interested in creating my own stuff, gfx, and to a lesser extent music. The '040 Im completely happy with (well, minus the fact that assuming I dont sell it I'll upgrade to an '060). The biggest problem/concern is that its a massive pain in the butt for me to transfer any files, which is something that comes up at least once a day and Im pretty much over swapping drives.

Why such network problems? Use a pcmcia card like the oriinco gold with miami dx and dchp?


Well, that's what Im trying to find out really. I am using a supported pcmcia network card with MiamiDX, and it's been far from simple. If I knew why I was having these problems then I wouldnt be starting these threads.
