£40 ($80) perhaps double if it is real museum quality, box and all.

Hard drives for A500's are not that sort after, users tend to just upgrade to an A600 or an A1200.

If you got two A500 zealots both at the same auction you might start a bidding war :-)

A good bit of advertising here on all the Amiga boards (in all languages) Amiga.org also Amibay(EAB), Amigaworld, LemonAmiga etc. etc. together with offering shipping anywhere in the world and ability to accept PayPal could improve the final price even more.

its not just a harddrive, its a mem upgrade too :)

That doesnt set it apart from all other A500 side car hard drives. Even the Commodore A590 is a mem upgrade too.

This is the second most sought after A500 side car after the ICD trifecta HOWEVER it was the best selling A500 hard drive and so it is not rare by any means, there are 10's of thousands of them out. Large supply lowers the price.

The amount of memory doesn't matter.

2*4Mbyte 30-pin SIMMs ~ £4 on ebay.

Just mention that it can take upto 8Mbytes of FastRAM will be enough.
