My Amiga collection... up for grabs?
« on: May 21, 2005, 11:08:24 AM »
Hi, I've not been here long, some of you posted in response to my 'hello' post.  :)

Someone asked what was wrong with my Amigas, well, I don't know.  We had three Amigas together at Christmas a year and a half ago (my 2 and someone else's), and none of them were working properly.  Either the internal disk drives have broken slightly on all three or the disks have degraded, because things worked perfectly if you ran the stuff on the hard drives.  They loaded erratically from disk, though.  I wondered if they get a bit ill when they're not used for ages...  

I honestly don't know if I have the time to fiddle with them, or even the space to have them in the same flat as me at the moment.  The stuff's all at my parents' house, and they would appreciate me moving it somewhere.  So, I was thinking, would anyone here like the stuff for free?  If you live near Southend in Essex that's where it is.  Otherwise we'd be travelling between Leicester and Essex so we could drop it off if you were between the two places.

The stuff's basically:
2 A1200's with hard drives and RAM upgrades
A CD-ROM drive
A million games (approximately)
An external disk drive

There's also an A500 with a definitely broken internal disk drive.  It has a RAM upgrade.  It's my Dad's in theory, but if someone wanted it he'd probably be glad to get rid of it.  More space in the loft!

I'd rather someone here who loved the things got their hands on them than they sit there being all unused forever...

And I'll still have my CD32, so I can still play cool games.  Hooray!  :D

Wow, I wonder how much it'd cost to post an A1200 to Australia?!  I'd be willing to think about it if you pay postage!
