Why would you want to buy this low quality cheaply made a500 you should buy yourself an amiga 2000 they are the flagship amiga and of high quality german manafacture.

dont be tempted the a500 is just a cheaply made toy .   :-D

Its true that the socketed chips in the older machine make them easy to repair but the suface mounted chips are suposed to more reliable its what is called progress but as with all modern stuff its cheaply made, so manafacturers can make more profit/money no modern stuff is reliable as the older stuff quality is rare these days .cars, computers ,hifi and 90% of what is made is today is poor quality crap made of plastic.

I remember when my dads telivsions used to last over 10 years without repair his modern philips had to be repaired under warranty after 2 years of use and just this week the remote control has died not good on this set because it has a known problem with the on off switch wich can even cause fire ,switch was replaced once but philips recomend using the remote to put it into standby rather than use it . :-?

I have one that is not yellowed and is perfect in the box it also house all the manuals and mouse and psu plus 4 mb memory expansion and i dont seem to be able to sell it for £35 including postage, still its going to make a good ramp for my 1/8 scale protech nitro buggy. :-)

hope you sell it the a500 is a briliant machine one of my favorites. last week i could of had one for 5 pound  from a car boot, at one time i would have bought it . :-)

I have been watching the Amiga 2000, 500, and 1000 computers on eBay for the past several months. I have noticed that these machines are starting to sell for more and more money


Not in the uk there not only the a1000 has any value and lately they have been selling for even less money .

My a500 has a baseboard 4 meg memory expansion fitted to it.Its by expansion systems  a usa company it boots from its own floppy to recognise the memory on the card or the drivers can be copied to a hard drive.

Look at the price of this a500 proves how worthless the can be
 a500 not long to go and 1 bid at 0.99p :-)  :-D

It would have to be rarer if you owned it all a500,s are common none are worth much a rarer a500 would be a kickstart 1.2 machine not the common 1.3. :-o
