Crazy high price but there are 2 bidders! I see theres a 5.25" floppy drive installed - I wonder if this has a Bridge Board in it?
 
Oooops! Here's the link...

Yo Mike...  get a chance to go thru the box of stuff yet? Gee, those two floppy drives were worth the $$ alone! I recently got a great deal on a 68060@50MHz CPU for $52.00 on ebay (yea, it's the real thing). So, I'm going to do the mod to my Blizzard 2040 board. Just gotta source the 1N4001 surface mount diodes. Then I'm on my way to killer 3.1ROM A2000 machine like yours with a Mechy SCSI reader!

Ironically, and I have not done this in years, I searched the local Craigslist for Amiga and this monitor came up (no not mine). Being in this location, where everyone is broke, and being a completely devoid market for Amiga... me thinks this is a tad over priced!

Don't know the Picasso iv seller, but I suspect there's some relation to the Amiga lounge. What are the chances that both just happen to have the same prototype sound card???

VEEEEEERY Interesting!

So, still trying to score an A1200 mobo after about 6 months. This morning there were no bids on this A1200 MB from Softhut.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Commodore-Amiga-A1200-Motherboard-REV-1D-No-Roms-Working-Pulled-/221964264571?hash=item33ae19e47b:g:RGkAAOSwbdpWaHas

There's still a few minutes to go and it's now gone insane with bids! Think I'll just abandon any hope of getting one of my A1200's going again! :furious:

[giZmo350]

@OM, well, that might be a reasonable price for a crapped out A1200 with a working MB.... :hammer: It didn't even come with ROMs.... and I can't imagine someone snagged it just for that video enabler doohickey thingamabob. I actually bid twice (I must be crazy!) I'm the bidder with the 747 feedback near the top.

Mike, I just got two brand new 4GB Transcend CF cards from TigerDirect the other day! So, back to my A2000 project!

@slaapliedje
I'm sure that the winner was a hoarder! Notice that the JackA$$ had autobid enabled. BTW, ya, just gotta know how to swear in code! :lol:

Oh well, whaddaya do? So, if anyone has a spare A1200 MB laying around (yea, right!) I'm buying!

[giZmo350]

Hmmmm, I've noticed that things get snapped up fairly quickly on AmiBay too.... although I'm not a member. That A1200 sounds awesome and pricey! Hope whomever gets it uses it and doesn't just toss it into the hoarder pile! :lol:

[giZmo350]

On the bright side, @Gizmo, I might have a little something-something coming for my main A2000 soon, that'll put me back on top of the mountain again.  Just you wait, my friend!    

Bring It Mikey! :swords:
I can't wait!!! :lol:

[giZmo350]

The most beautiful A500 I've ever seen!!!! ERMAHGURD!!! :laugh1:

[giZmo350]

10 minutes to go! Should fetch a goodly sum! :hammer:

Now approaching $400. Wow.

Please ask the winning bidder if there was something specific he was drawn to about this item.  

Probably the words
Commodore Amiga 1200

and it's in the US & it's not bastardized! :laugh1:

@jdryyz, PM me first if you wanna give that NTSC A1200 the 'ole heav-ho! :lol:

[giZmo350]

Last I checked they were maxing out around $200. Did not think a stock config would be in that much demand.

You can't even get a nice condish stock A500 for $200 now. These Amiga machines are selling for mad money lately. If you're looking on eBay, you really have to do your homework (if you're gonna mod an A500 best get a rev6a board). I can't even get a decent shape empty A500 case for less than $100 now. I also need a nice condish A500 keyboard which will probably set me back at least $50.

And with these new TerribleFire accelerators, the A500 is selling like hotcakes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yC2vx_fJy8

The A1200 is so hot these days 'cause, well, it's an A1200! :lol: I'm pretty much describing peeps that "are in the know" though. I laugh sometimes when a noob picks up an A1200 and asks "now what?". Yeah, nooby, all these Amiga add-ons are gonna COST you! :roflmao:

@gizmo350

I will probably do fleaBay also if I decide to put mine up. I will then probably turn around and try to find a PAL model also. I am finding more reasons why it is a better way to go.

I recently found a brand new 21" W/S Gateway LCD in my stash and tried my NTSC A500 with the C= 23pin to 15pin VGA adapter on it and found it syncs down to 15Khz. I'm suddenly a fan of NTSC machines!
