What were your best Amiga bargain buys?

[dougal]

I had a few good bargain buys over the years.. I am sure we all have. Here are a few of my best (in my opinion) bargain buys over the years.

A4000 030/50Mhz with 1Gb HD and CDROM + Software + original OS3.9 CD ---- 80 Euros
Blizzard 1230IV with 32Mb ram ---- 50 Euros
Escom A1200HD boxed with all manuals + software + Blizzard 1230IV & 32Mb --- 80 Euros
A600 with power brick and mouse ----- 0.50Cents (YES FIFTY CENTS)
A600 with 2MB Chipram --- 2 Euro
A1200 with power supply ---- 3 Euro
A500 with A590 and romswitcher (1.3 & 2.04), mouse, psu and software --- 10 Euros

I had bought all these locally (not through ebay etc,,)

Wow impressive

A2000HD w/ mouse, keyboard, 28mhz 68000 accelerator that plugged into the fast slot, A2091 w/ 40mb HD, KS/OS1.3 and 4MB RAM - free + the cost of shipping.

A2500 w/ GVP 030 combo card w/ 1mb 32-bit RAM, 6mb on a Zorro II card, 50MB HD, KS/OS2.1 - free + the cost of shipping.

A1084s (samsung) & A1200 w/ external HD, KS/OS3.0, 4MB RAM and 68881 - free had a buddy drop it off

(2) A1200's, one with a 40mhz 030, 32MB RAM and KS/OS3.1 - $80 shipped

A1084s (philips) partially working A500 with KS/OS1.3, 1mb RAM - free local pickup from a member here!

Large box of AmigaWorlds (including the premiere issue), some Amazing Computing and a small lot of boxed software - free local pickup

A2000 w/ GVP 040 Combo, 64mb RAM, large external SCSI box w/ CD-ROM and Bernouli cartridge setup, boxes and boxes of software, AMAX hardware, scanners, digitizers, books, mags - A1000 512kb system complete in the box - all free from a semi local pickup!

(2) A3000's that I was able to make one real nice system from (the one in my sig) for $80 shipped. Case was too far damaged on one of the systems (someone had cut the bezel all up trying to mod a different drive into her) to keep whole, so I'll just keep the mobo, power supply, etc. for spares I guess.


...I think that's it for the real "bargains" throughout the years. Most all of these came from the very late 90's up until about 2006.

I had once got a DCE flickerfixer/Scandoubler (internal) for 35 euro on ebay
